NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Soft Matte Lip Cream, Lightweight Liquid Lipstick – Cairo (Matte Pure Nude)

My favorite color so far, looks natural on me
I wanted lip cream that is not shiny, but that looks natural and has a natural nude-like color. This is the closest I’ve ever found to my natural lip color, that can hide discolorations and even out the color, with a very slightly but still very natural-looking pink tint. I am East Asian for reference, with closer to an average lighter-skinned South East Asian skintone (I am actually half southern Chinese and half southern Japanese/Okinawan), so I am not that pale, but not tanned either, and have bit of yellow undertone (Sephora’s “best skin ever” concealer color is 12Y).The first pic (with the hat) is with just the Athena color lip cream and lightly-applied concealer. The second pic (without hat) is with the Athena color lip cream in gradient with a redder lipstick on the inner lips and full face of heavier-applied concealer.I like that it dries fast, so I don’t have to wait long to apply another coat or other lip stuff on top. But it does smudge still, not as much as average lipstick, but it will such as if you drink with a straw, there will be a little smudging, but less than average. It does not last me a full day, but it is easy to apply and lasts at least for some hours, which is enough for most shorter outings. You should bring it with you if you go somewhere, if you want to reapply it to last longer. I also like that, despite that it dries fast after applying, it isn’t drying to the lip skin. It balances my lip moisture level to whatever it was when I applied it. In the first pic with the hat, I did put a little bit of medicated lip balm under it before putting on the lip cream.I don’t wear makeup much in general, so it’s unlikely I will run out any time soon, but if I do, I will buy this again for sure. I hope it will still be for sale by then.

Love
Absolutely love; it’s so smooth and not too thick, looks really good and blurring and the color is great

Definitely going to buy more!
I bought this in Antwerp, Milan, & San Paulo. I’ve attached a photo of all colors after application, and then I wore Antwerp today to see how it looked dried & throughout the day.Upon application, the color has a sheen to it, but the sheen goes away as it dries. It definitely doesn’t have the orange tint to it that it appears it might in the pictures. It takes about 20 minutes to dry enough to not wear off when you kiss the back of your hand, but I’d give it closer to an hour before drinking or eating, and especially if you plan on some serious smochin’ haha It is a bit drying, so use some sort of barrier before applying it. Most us chap stick, but I use Purlisse Lip Nourisher and when I took it off my lips felt fine.I lick my lips a lot, and around the 3 hour mark it started to fade for me. I did drink a cup of coffee after giving it an hour or so to dry completely. By 5 hours the edges of my lips were fine while closer to the crease it has faded. I didn’t eat any solid foods between application & the 5 hour mark, but I did have (as mentioned before) the coffee, and then I also drank a shake. If you don’t mind it fading a bit but still looking fine, I would reapply every 4 hours, especially if you drink & eat in that time frame. If you want it to look just like it does once it is first dried, I would reapply more towards the 3 hour mark, if not, sooner.It definitely lasts longer than your average lipstick, and I will 100% be buying more colors as time goes on.

Delivers Classic Red Lip
So, my sweetie requested a red lip since I usually rock a nude one. I figured he wanted to see a classic true red, so I decided on this one. The price was a huge factor since I didn’t want to spend a lot on a shade I wasn’t going to wear often. To that end, I wasn’t too picky with the particulars that are usually considered when I buy a lippie. But, I was pleasantly surprised!The color is highly pigmented and super bold, it’s not drying at all, and as a matte lippie, doesn’t crack when I smile. I can’t say its ultra moisturizing, as in, it doesn’t feel like it adds moisture. However, it doesn’t suck every drop of it out of my lips either. It’s just kind of neutral, which works for me. It’s not thick and creamy, kind of thin/watery feeling when you put it on. This is neither bad nor good to me. Just something to note.It lasts forever, too. As with most NYX products, the formula is great, but there just doesn’t seem to be a lot of it in the tube.I wouldn’t mind a few more in different shades.

Recently, I have noticed that most Matte lipsticks dry out really bad and end up dehydrating my lips. Not this one, it’s really silky and easy to apply, the texture is great. It smells nice as well. The shade I chose, Berlin, is a warm brown, very 90s chic.

I really love this lipstick and its rich creamy texture last longer and provides amazing color to my lips. Also i really love the fragrance.
