NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream Review

I have to be honest if I saw this on the shelf I probably won’t buy it as I’m not too fond of NYX’s lip products. I actually got this as a gift and only got to trying it recently. I have mine in the shade Madrid which is a rich plum color that may be lighter or darker depending on your natural lip color. It’s not at all the same as the color shown on the packaging so best to try it out on your lip if you’re unsure. When I saw the texture on the wand the first time I thought it seemed a bit dry but it was in fact very creamy upon application. The wand itself is pretty easy to use and I tend to use the tip to line my lips since I don’t have a lip liner of a similar shade. You definitely need to wait a short while for it to dry to avoid smudging/transferring this everywhere. After drying it doesn’t smudge that easily but a little bit of the color comes off when I lightly wipe with finger which is normal. When I drink on a glass of water I only see a little bit of transfer. It feels weightless to the lips and a bit hydrating in fact (I feel). It doesn’t last too long though. It started wearing off after about 4 hours with a slight oily meal in between. It was overall a pleasant surprise for me. I feel that it’s one of those hassle-free matte lipsticks which I like so I will repurchase if I find a shade that I like but don’t already have.

These were my favourite years ago, I owned heaps of different shades. I've recently bought a few shades and was surprised to find I love them now as much as I used to.

These are great for everyday use. I use these with lipliner and sometimes without. They are super lightweight and don't dry my lips out. They are easy to apply and love the many different shades that I have tried. They are not the most pigmented, so I never use them when I'm going out. But would highly recommend for everyday use!

So far, these are the best drugstore liquid lipsticks I have used, but they're still not perfect. I have the shades Antwerp, Sydney, Tokyo, Istanbul and Buenos Aries. The formula is slightly different with all of them. They do apply super smooth and soft, they are a joy to apply and feel really luxurious. The lighter pinks (Sydney, Tokyo, Istanbul) dry fastest, and can look a little dry and highlight any chapped areas, so you have to exfoliate really well for these to look nice. Buenos Aries is a light peach, and dries to a slightly nicer finish than the pinks, but can wear off a little patchy. Antwerp is the best out of the ones I own, it dries to an awesome matte finish and doesn't highlight any dry areas, which is nice. It is the darkest of the ones I own, a dark pink with a touch of red/orange. I think the darker shades in this line will look nicer for a longer time. However, they do all dry very matte, so if you have well exfoliated lips and are looking for a really matte, highly pigmented liquid lipstick, these would be perfect for you. For the price as well, these are pretty amazing quality.

I love the smell of these lip creams! amazing! it also has a really lovely velvety texture on the lips. I have the shade milan which is a nice , everyday pink that dries matte which I love, only thing it does show lines on lips, but if you wait and add a second coat it will reduce the appearance of these lines. I really like the range of colours, there's one for everyone ! will be ourchasing more for sure :)

I have this in the shade copenhagen. The most talked about shade and my oh my it is absolutely stunning!! It was love at first swatch.

Firstly it smells amazing. Almost like a salted caramel scent. It is absolutely devine. I'm slightly obsessed with lip products that have a sweet scent to them. So that is a huge tick off the pros list.

When you first apply it, it goes on quite blotchy so it pays to take your time with the application to even it out to your own liking. I find that two layers do the trick depending on the coverage you're after. But for me two layers work best. Once it's applied it looks absolutely stunning. I don't personally feel like the actual colour is true to the main swatch that people go crazy about but it's still stunning and I'm so glad I purchased it.

I originally only paid for one copenhagen shade and then the transylvania shade but I ened up with two copenhagen ones. I was a little disappointed because I have been lusting after both colours for so long but with copenhagen being as beautiful as it is, I think I might be ok with getting sent two instead of 1.

It does take a little while to dry, and it doesn't really dry as matte. When I think of a matte finish I think of the Australis velourlips, they are the most beautiful matte finish/smudge proof liquid lipsticks. These soft matte creams are nothing like them but I guess that's where the name soft matte comes into play? I'm not 100% sure but they're still stunning. You just need to be mindful of that when you're out and about that they're not a true matte finish so they can smudge quite easily.

I recently got this from makeup.co.nz and I'm so glad I did. I got the shade san paulo which is a nice darker pinky nude colour. I now get why people rave about this product so much.

It is indeed soft when applied on the lips and it's not sticky. The packaging is small and nice perfect to put in your bag.

I found that it applies quite well too with the applicator. You do need to go over your lips a few times to get the perfect opaque colour.

It doesn't last as long on my lips as much as I want to. However, it's still pretty good. I did have a curry the first time I wore this so it didn't last. However, when I was just out and about, it lasted much longer. It is slightly drying but I haven't tried a matte liquid lipstick that hasn't dried my lips after wearing it for a long time.

For the price, I think this is a great product and I would love to try other shades in the range.

I am a huge fan of NYX products as they're well priced and great quality. I decided to give this matte lip cream a go as i love matte lippies. I bought this in shades monte carlo and addis ababa which are both gorgeous shades. It is super easy to apply, and definitely dries to a gorgeous, matte finish. i dont find that it's drying at all like some other 'liquid' lippies I've tried which is a bonus.

I got this product in the beauty box I got in Abu Dhabi my first thought was it was to dark but that wasn't the case it was the perfect shade the smell was beautiful and has real staying power and it dosen't seem to dry out lip's like some matte's do.
