As a rule, we typically don’t know better. Staying up too late watching Keri Russell in The Diplomat on Netflix when we have a 4:30am start the next day, that’s us. Giving the guy who sent us a kiss and peach emoji on Hinge the benefit of the doubt, been there done that. Yet, we are pretty great with our makeup choices, including swiping on NYX’s new Buttermelt Blush in “U Know Butta.” Because in this instance, we actually do know what’s best.
Soft and pigment-rich, this vegan and cruelty-free cheeks and cheekbone enhancer glides on smoothly, leaving us with a colourful luminosity worthy of this year’s flushed TikTok faces. Its infusion of mango, almond and shea butters provide elasticity to our skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, while simultaneously hydrating our face for increased moisture and a plumper, younger look. And then there’s the glow.
While our current favourite shade is “U Know Butta’s” shimmering coral, the American brand’s additional 11 hues—from “All the Butta’s” pop of purple and “Sooner the Butta’s” smooth peach to “Getting Butta’s” real rose—give us great options. Each pick also offers fade and transfer-resistant wear for up to 12 hours and a sweet tropical scent. All of which makes us ask: can it get any better? We don’t think so.
NYX Buttermelt Blush in “U Know Butta” and 11 additional shades, each $17.49, available at Shoppers Drug Mart.
