NYX Buttermelt Highlighter and Blush

Hey beauty lovers! I’m absolutely buzzing to share my first impressions of some incredible new releases from NYX Professional Makeup. If you’ve been on the hunt for that perfect glow or a pop of color, you’re going to want to stick around for this! First up, let’s talk about the much-anticipated expansion of the NYX Buttermelt Highlighter collection. We're seeing some dazzling new shades, and the one that truly caught my eye (and probably yours too!) is 'Butta in Black'. Yes, you heard that right – a black highlighter! It might sound intimidating, but trust me, this shade is a game-changer. When applied, it transforms into a stunning, ethereal duo-chrome shift that's more of a smoky, iridescent glow than a stark black. It’s perfect for adding a unique edge to your look, whether you’re going for a subtle, mysterious shimmer or a bold, dramatic highlight. The 'Butta in Black' Buttermelt Highlighter, priced around $12, truly lives up to its name with its buttery-soft texture that melts seamlessly into the skin, giving you a smooth, non-chalky finish. But the excitement doesn't stop there! NYX also dropped some gorgeous additions to their Bridgerton Royal Flush Blush Duos and even some new highlighter shades within the Bridgerton collection. The blush duos, like 'The Queen' and 'Lady in Silver', are just divine. These $15 duos offer a mix of matte and shimmery shades that blend effortlessly. I particularly love how pigmented they are, yet still buildable, so you can go from a soft flush to a more intense pop of color. The 'ROYAL FLUSH BLUSH DUOS' are fantastic for adding dimension and brightening up your complexion. For those who prefer a more classic glow, the Bridgerton collection also features highlighter shades like 'Iridescent Peach' and 'Light Gold'. These are perfect for adding a radiant, lit-from-within glow that complements a wide range of skin tones. The 'Iridescent Peach' has a beautiful warm undertone that would flatter medium to deep skin tones, while 'Light Gold' is a universally flattering shade that adds a delicate, luminous sheen. These shades, sometimes seen in products like the 'ROYAL GLITZ & GLOSS', really capture the regal essence of the Bridgerton theme. Tips for Application: For Buttermelt Highlighters: For 'Butta in Black', try applying it lightly over your cheekbones with a fluffy brush for a diffused, smoky glow. For a more intense look, use a denser brush or your fingertip on the high points of your face. For 'Iridescent Peach' or 'Light Gold', a fan brush can give you a beautiful, natural sparkle. Don't forget the inner corners of your eyes and your cupid's bow! For Bridgerton Blushes: Using a soft blush brush, apply the blush shades to the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards towards your temples for a lifted effect. You can swirl both shades in the duo together for a custom color, or use them separately for contouring and highlighting. These new NYX products, available at Ulta, are definitely worth checking out. Whether you’re a fan of bold, experimental makeup or classic, elegant glows, there’s something new to love. The quality for the price is fantastic, and I can't wait to incorporate these into my daily makeup routine!
