Hello beautifuls,
I've had the pleasure to purchase these NYX Matte lipsticks from Ulta for BOGO 50% off. Since I've already done a review on NYX matte lipsticks, I will not go into much details since I feel that the formula is pretty consistent between shades. If you'd like to read my original review, please click HERE and also view other shades.
Anyways, the NYX Matte lipsticks are among the best matte formula I've tried because they feel creamy and don't tug on your lips when you apply them. The pigmentation is also excellent. I especially love wearing matte lipsticks when I'm wearing bright colors on my eyes. It makes the overall look more appealing, IMO.
Swatches from left to right: Maison, Butter, and Indie Flick.
Maison is a chocolaty/mauve kind of shade. It definitely has that grey undertone to it. When I swatched it on my hand, I was like yikes! This is dark! However, when I tried it on the lips, I was like ok, I can make this work. This is probably a shade most people would overlook. I wasn't too sure about it at first but decided to give it a go anyways because I don't have a lot of browns in my lipstick stash.
Butter seemed like it would be a nice nudy light brown lippie. It also has a grey undertone to it so this may not be something some people might like. Sure it looks kinda pale on me but it's still better than my own lip color for sure.
Indie Flick makes me think of the bright bold lips Bollywood actresses tend to wear. It's a bright coral red. I think it's gorgeous and definitely something I would wear for an evening out. If you want to try a bright and bold color without dishing out too much money for it, I would recommend this shade.
Have you tried NYX Mattes? Which one is your favorite shade?

ReplyDeleteThey make good makeup overall.
Deletethey were quality makeup in good price.. i love their cream blushes!! =)
DeleteI have Butter and love it, I was thinking of getting Maison but I wasn't sure. now that I've seen your swatches and it looks exactly like i hope, I will definitely get it next time! thanks ^^
ReplyDeleteMaison was actually more wearable than I thought too. I hope you like it.
DeleteWow, so pretty! :) Even though they're supposed to be matte, I love the gorgeous sheen!
ReplyDeleteThe sheen goes away after a while. The formula is very similar to MAC Mattene lipsticks.
DeleteSooo loving Butter! I think Ulta still has the BOGO 50% until Dec. 25th
ReplyDeleteoooo really? That's nice. I can't think of anything else I need at the moment.
DeleteI don't know how it would look on me, but Maison looks great on you! Thanks for the swatches!
ReplyDeleteI think with the right makeup, maison is doable.
Deletesuprisingly Maison looks really nice! it makes it look like you took the photo in black and white (though you obviously didnt :P). Thanks for the lovely swatch! will look into trying brown lipsticks now.
ReplyDeleteI don't really wear brown lipsticks but I actually do like how they look on me.
DeleteThey look great on you! I haven't tried this particular formula but I've been thinking of trying them out. Just too many colors to pick from :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. You definitely gotta try a couple of these. They are some of the best matte formula out there.
