Here Is The Holy Grail Of NYX Products You Need, Right Now

by Riya Roy · January 20, 2017

Have you never taken a crack at products from NYX? Well this is the best time to get started.

NYX Cosmetics was founded in 1999, by Toni Ko, who was only 26-years-old then. Toni stirred to start her own makeup line because she and her buddies were desperate to look drop dead gorgeous, without actually dying in their endeavor to buy the makeup products!

Top-shelf cosmetics that cost just a few dollars, that was the dream, and so, Tony developed NYX Cosmetics to make that possible! The brand gives you products that resemble those of high-end brands at a price that will not require you to rob banks!

Here are 16 must-have NYX products that you need to call yourself a makeup junkie!

1. Strobe Of Genius

Strobing is the new contouring, people! The technique of brightening the highlighted areas of our face is called strobing. And NYX’s Strobe of Genius is all you need to give your makeup life.

SOB has popped up as the pick-me-up product of makeup lovers all over the world because of its price point and its quality. The Strobe of Genius palette has a versatile range of tints and tinges. The shades are so buttery that they can give the high-end brands a run for their money. In case you are wondering, the shades are not glittery (why should they be!) and yet, they lend just the right amount of shimmer for the highlighted areas to pop. The product’s smooth texture and the fact that it works well for almost all skin types, make it a must-have. Also, the Strobe Of Genius will last longer than any relationship that you have ever had.

2. HD Finishing Powder

All you need to seal that concealer is NYX’s HD Finishing Powder. A mineral-based finishing powder that is soft, the HD Finishing Powder, sets easy and masks the thin lines around the eyes and lips, if any. If you have an oily skin and a light skin tone, this product is going to work like magic on you. It lends a glossy matte finish that gets you ready for the Gods! We are sure as hell that you will drool over the powder’s soft and feather-like texture.

Note: This is not a great makeup product for people with a medium skin tone, or those with dark circles, as it can give a greyish appearance.

3. HD Blushes

HD Blushes are an addition to NYX’s blush product range. It is way more refined than the brand’s previous blush products, plus it is packaged and pigmented in a more advanced way. HD Blushes are a paraben-free formula, and are available in 20 shades, of which almost all have a satin-finish. Also, it is easily bendable and very light.

The blush lends a lively yet not loud look that is sure to earn you lots of friends. This one is an exuberant-looking blush that is relatively economical and has a quality that matches a blush from a high-end brand. We love the tinges it offers: From mauve and pink to gold and taupe, they have it all covered just for you.

4. Ultimate Eyeshadow Palette

If you are an eye makeup lover like moi, then you absolutely NEED the Ultimate Eyeshadow Palette from NYX. The striking color-combos make it a must-have, and also in case you didn’t know, each of the shades are inspired by photo filter effects!

The colors have a smooth texture, which makes application really easy. Also, they are crease resistant, so you have nothing to worry about. Try mixing and matching the colors to come up with shades of your own, and do not forget to share them with us! 😉

5. Jumbo Eye Pencil

Jumbo eye pencil is undoubtedly one of the must-have NYX products. This eyeshadow comes in a velvety pencil format, and so it doubles the effects of an eyeliner. The Jumbo Eye Pencil offers an array of shades; 32, to be precise. No wonder makeup junkies and bloggers all over the world just can’t seem to get enough of it. Does it get chunky on the eyes? Of course NOT!

A cream-based liquid lippie, Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick from NYX comes in more than 20 shades, and that means you need to grab at least 5 today!
