The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the NYX Buttermelt has emerged as the most consistently recommended drugstore powder blush of the recent generation. Verified-purchase reviewers at Amazon, Ulta and Target converge on the same talking points: a buttery, finely milled texture, strong pigment payoff for the price, and wear that holds up close to the marketed 12-hour claim. Community threads on r/drugstoreMUA and r/newinbeauty echo that assessment, with several commenters calling it their favorite of the year.
What reviewers liked
- Verified-purchase reviewers across multiple retailers converge on 4.6-star pigmentation and longevity
- Specialist drugstore-makeup community threads recommend it repeatedly as a standout 2024 launch
- Buttery, finely milled texture noted across mainstream beauty reviewers
- Wide shade range that community reviewers report works on pale to deeper skin tones
Where it falls short
- Multiple r/drugstoreMUA and r/MakeupAddiction commenters report it is hard to blend once over-applied
- Pigmentation intensity has a learning curve; not a beginner-friendly pick
- A subset of community reviewers report patchiness and shades looking similar after several hours of wear
Across the reviewers we read, the NYX Buttermelt has emerged as the most consistently recommended drugstore powder blush of the recent generation. Verified-purchase reviewers at Amazon, Ulta and Target converge on the same talking points: a buttery, finely milled texture, strong pigment payoff for the price, and wear that holds up close to the marketed 12-hour claim. Community threads on r/drugstoreMUA and r/newinbeauty echo that assessment, with several commenters calling it their favorite of the year.
The consistent caveat across mainstream reviewers and specialist subreddits is pigmentation intensity. r/Makeup and r/MakeupAddiction threads include cautionary posts about the blush 'turning me into a tomato' after a heavy hand, and other r/drugstoreMUA commenters describe it as hard to blend out once applied too densely. Multiple reviewers recommend a fluffy brush and a tap-off before application. Across the reviewers we read, that learning curve is the main reason it isn't a universal beginner recommendation, but the consensus on quality-for-price is strong enough to make it the best-rounded pick in the category.

They're very pigmented and hard to blend out, making them look patchy. The colors ended up looking the same after a few hours somehow.
It is very pigmented so you have to use a light hand but I find it easy to blend. I'm very pale and found several shades that look great on me.
