Nicka K is an affordable line of makeup that has a huge range of products. Typically, I find these products either in my local beauty supply store (think hair supply store, but not Sally's) or online at Ikatehouse or Ebay.
These blush duos are little palette with two complementary shades and are designed to be used as either a highlighter, blush or contour. These retail for only $1.99 and are really great blushes. I own 4 of the duos. 2 blushes, a highlighter and the darkest contour duo. My favorite part of these blushes is the versatility it has. They can be used on a variety of skin tones AND can be used sheer or at full pigmentation. I even use the blush shades as transition shades when I do a warm wyw
Blush
Orange is one of my favorite cheek colors. I also like red
blush but I find that a lot of blushes in these tones are two pigmented and end
up look like someone punched me in the face with red blush. These blush duos
are not like the typical red or orange blushes. The pigmentation is not over the
top and it’s also really build-able. These also feel really smooth and lasts like
a normal blush. I find that I can get about 6 hours of wear with these blushes,
especially if I don’t excessively touch my face (which I’m guilty of often) and
set with a setting spray.
Highlighter
The highlighters that come in this duo are absolutely
amazing. You get a cool light pink tone and a deeper bronze tone that is a
perfect highlight for deep skin. I also like to mix the two. The texture of
these are smooth and they are highly reflective, but NOT glittery which is
ideal for a highlight for me. They also last all day and sheer out beautifully on the skin. This is a must try!
Contour
This contour duo is the darker of two contour duos. What I
love about these as well as the blushes they aren’t super pigmented, but they
can be easily built up for maximum effect. I have been using these as my everyday
contour and bronzer because I love how it looks on my skin. I apply the lighter
tone first and then deepen the cheeks with the darker color. This duo is
definitely melanin friendly but the other duo (not pictured) would be ideal for
Caucasian skin!
