Product & Colour:
NYX High Definition Blush in HDB22 Taupe is a cool ashy tone taupe brown with a smooth texture. I found this shades could be built up and easily sheered out if you wanted a subtle contour shade.

Compare:

High Definition Blush in HDB22 Taupe is a cool tone compared to the two coolest shades in the NYX Highlight & Contour Pro Palette Sculpt which is a rosy tone taupe and Hollow is a deep neutral brown by comparison.

Highlight & Contour Pro Palette Sculpt is a closer tone to the original Taupe blush NYX put out as a possible colour dupe.

Verdict

I love this tone. I know that those fair girls with pink undertone don't like how this shade looks on their skin because it read to ashy on the. But for me and my olive/yellow undertones this look more natural and for those with light to medium warm or neutral undertones, I can see your skin might like this one.

For those that need a bit more rosiness the Highlight & Contour Pro Palette Sculpt single pan I recommend as a dupe for the old Taupe Blush.
