I'm only giving this 3 lippies because my skin tone is quite reddish but pale at the same time (if that makes sense) and this was just far too strong for my face! The reason I gave 3 and not 2 is because NYX blushes are THE BEST blushes in the whole world! Amazing staying power! I will continue to buy them but wouldn't buy this color again.

So far, this is my favorite hot pink blush. I'm NC40 and most blushes in this color range will pull warm red on me. Pinky is true to color and I love that it stays cool toned on my skin. I find Pinky to have very good pigmentation and staying power. I reach for Pinky when I do a cool toned look using blues, graphites and silvers. Pinky is a great staple in my makeup collection. Cheap too but NYX can be hard to find in stores. I believe Ulta is the only B&M that sells NYX and it is a very limited selection.

A lovely and bright porcelain doll pink! This texture is finely milled and lasts for the whole day on my skin. I really like this during winter when the extra colour doesn't hurt. This paired with a berry lipstain or pink lipgloss is just a phenomenal dolled-up look.

I was looking for a blush that would give me a healthy, natural, pink flush during winter. I have pale Asian skin NW 20. I heeded everyone's advice to apply Pinky with a light hand.

Unfortunately, this blush always looked "too strong" for me. I received comments like, "You'd look better if you don't look like you have blush." It just never looked natural. It also wasn't the easiest blush to blend.

In the end, I found what I wanted with NYX cream blush in Red Cheek. Also applied with a light hand, I finally found that bright but natural flush.:)

i loved the color-but hesistant to purchase i'm nc 25 in winter nc30 in summer. but i fell in love with pinky. it took a while before i felt confident in applying thiswithoutfeeling like i'll look like a pink tomato. but seriously-it's great, i dab it on with eco-tools blush brush and wah-la beautiful cheeks. i pretty much use this on all mu looks. my mu style/look is dewly glowy skin, fresh cheeks, pink gloss, neutral brown eye with clean, defined brow-it's naturally understately sexy i dnt over do anything bc i find it overwhelms my delicate features & face. pinky gives a great 'pop' of fresh color to cheeks beautiful. i love this hard for me to give other blushes a try

So I bought this product based on reviews I read and also the MUG website top 10. I bought 7 shades to try and I've only tried 3 so far. I read somewhere that this blush was supposed to be what MAC's Pink Swoon is. I own both so I can compare. I feel that MAC's Pink Swoon has much better staying power and easier to blend if you are layer different blush shades. The color is cute but I don't feel it is a high quality product.

This is my HG dream come true blush! Finally a hot pink blush that is not red in when applied on my very tan warm NC40 skin. I hate blushes turning peach on me. Im happy to say this remains a cool bubble gum color on me. Which being cool toned, it brightens up my whole complexion and makes me look youthful. I am so happy I bought this. I also own ELF pink passion and they are very similar in color, I hated elf blush because it faded in 30 minutes, NYX Pinky stayed on all day. Best blush investment ever! and its only $4.50 at cherryculture.

This is A nice hot pink, VERY pigmented. I apply with a very light hand over bronzer and it looks very pretty on my skin. Very youthful. It holds pretty well against the heat and sweating.

Looks like a bright hot pink in the Pan but on my cheeks, it comes out to a nice natural baby pink. Color is buildable so i would recommend applying with a light hand. I reach for this blush when im doing different eye makeup because it just goes with any look. Gives my face a natural flush. Amazing pimentation for a drugstore blush. Not a big fan of the packaging of NYX's blushes. They either crumble really easily or theyre hard to open. Ive chipped my nails already so i keep a nail file with me incase i need to pry it open hahah. Other than that, i Def would repurchase.

Its ok. When I swatch it, its a pretty mauvy, purpley color (pink turns to purple on my skin) and even tho it looks so matte in the pan, it actually gives a really rosey-glow. As if there's some micro-shimmer particles in there. But for reason, I have trouble getting it to show up that way on my cheeks. Can hardly see it unless I pack it on. But, it's still pretty, tho when am in the mood for a pinky look, I'll probably use it. Wont repurchase, tho.

Fairly nondescript matte pink. I had trouble getting this to show up. I do like the very subtle pink that it adds to my cheeks, but since my cheeks already have a bit of colour to them it seems like a lot of wasted effort putting this on when I could reach for a more pigmented blush.

This is a nice matte hot pink blush. It's not phenomenal, but it's really good for the price.

I adore this blush! Don’t be scared of how bright it looks in the pan. I have very pale skin, and I love the look a light dusting creates. It is a very long wearing blush, and I will absolutely buy again.

I love this blush. Its dirt cheap, extremely pigminted and the most gorgeous colour. And it was perfect cheek for Valentines Day. I dont think I will run out any time soon but I would definitely buy this again. Love it.

Thanks to MUA, I purchased this as a dupe for BB Pale Pink (Tx! Listenlikethieves). Love it! In the pan it's a hot pink, but on my Asian NC30 skin w/ yellow undertones, it's a pretty pink flush. I got Pinky and Stone from Cherryculture since the Ultas in my area are no longer carrying NYX. Yes, there is a lot of fallout, but since this is almost 1/4 the price of BB, it's worth it.

im going to basically reiterate my comments from Red Cheek on Pinky because i practically love both of them equally.
DONT BE AFRAID OF THE COLOR, alight hand and soft controlled brush strokes will yield magnificent results
color payoff is good. most blushers and bronzers are irritatingly invisible on my skin, which is odd since im really fair (with asian yellow undertone).
shows up on me as a soft youthful pink, and not bubblegum in yo face kind of pink. very flattering and to my surprise, natural looking.
however i have to say that the powder blushes dont last as long on my face quite matte, which is good if you use dewy liquid foundations, but i always wear powder and too much matte looks kind of...drab at times.
still very wearable and looks appropriate in office and 'serious' settings

Even though this is bright in the package, it shows off nicely on the skin. Be sure to use a light hand as this is very pigmented. The color is a cool bright pink with no visable shimmer effect. This blush looks so natural and makes your cheeks rosey like you just went for a jog in the cold.

This blush is awesome. Of course it looks intimidating in the package, but when applied with a light hand, it gives a beautiful natural look to your cheeks. It really brightens up your complexion and I use it almost daily to compliment a low-key bronzer as a contour. Absolute staple in my makeup bag.

Don't be afraid!! I love this blush especialy in the summer. It gives a surprisingly natrual blush on me when applied lightly. I am NW20, and most days my skin is very red/pink uneven, and generally bad. I can't wear foundation often becuase it is so sensiteve, so most blush just makes it look worse. The only reason I took of a lippie is because it may need reapplied through the day.
