NYX says

Our pressed powder blush delivers sheer, silky color that glides on, blends beautifully and creates a natural glow. The formula is richly-pigmented and lasts for hours.

My Experience

Lately i bought two drugstore blushes one ELF HD blush in Diva and second one is this.Well i had plans to buy three but dropped the idea as third one was also pink.....lolz
I read lot of good things about these two so when i saw both of them in a blog sale i got them without a second thought.Well frankly speaking i was not in a mood to buy this shade rather i was interested in Desert rose but it sold out earlier,then i thought OK lets see what type of shade it would come out.
I never ever thought that it would be the gorgeous ever pink in my collection.yayyyy.It is an exact dupe of NARS orgasm blush per reviews.But this was not the reason behind getting it.

NYX blushes came in black plastic square container,without mirror and brush,the powder is set in to squares from top and it looks gorgeous unlike some high end brands that have non tempting packaging.There are 24 shades ranging from corals to golds.So a huge collection to choose from.

The shade Pinched is soft pink with coral hues.It's not matte,has fine golden shimmer milled to give a highlighted effect on cheeks.Although it has alot of shimmer but once blend out properly the shimmer adds a nice sheen without overdoing.The shimmer spreads evenly.Texture is very smooth and silky,blends like a dream in to seductive and flirty tone on cheeks.The finish is really very natural.

Now comes the pigmentation thingy,unlike claim it's not super pigmented,but i think the pigmentation is decent as you can build it to heavy per requirement.The best thing about pigmentation is you don't have to conscious about whilst applying.
Staying power is also nice,it stays on me good 5 hours with primer/foundation underneath,Not bad when you recall that its a drugstore brand.

Comparison of Pinched Vs MUA blush in shade5

Now comes the dupe thing.The famous blush Nars Orgasm has many dupes available,after reading so many reviews online i found two close ones,one already reviewed on my page i.e MUA powder blush shade 5and second one is this. I have compare both of them for you below to have a close idea

MUA blush is more towards coral side whereas Pinched is having pink tones.So in my opinion this is a close dupe.
