NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams have been around in the beauty scene for quite a while now, so talking about these little beauties is no brainer for sure. These are one of the lip products that I reach out for on a daily basis, given their comfortable matte formula, easy application and pocket friendly price.
I have quite a few shades from this range but the one that steals the limelight today is ROME.
Price:
INR 600/ 8ml
Packaging:
Even though NYX SLMC (Soft Matte Lip Cream) have been around for years, their packaging still continues to be same.
It comes in a very simple lip gloss kind of plastic tube with a soft, fluffy, doe-foot applicator.
The container is colour-coded while the cap is matte black that has the shade sticker on it.
Shade:
ROME is a medium pink nude with mauve undertones. It looks absolutely pretty for everyday use to college or work. For me, it is rather a MLBB shade. I find Rome to be the closest to my natural lips out of all the lip products I have in my stash.
I particularly like to pair this lip colour with dramatic or bright eyes. It brings out the beauty of eye shades without making your lips looking dull.
Texture:
NYX SLMC have smooth mousse like texture. They apply like butter on lips and dry down matte. The formula is really light weight and comfortable. The best part I feel is that it allows you a lot of time to perfect before it settles to a matte finish.
Pigmentation:
Though the deeper shades I have from this range have better pigmentation than the lighter ones, the lighter shades like Rome are also decently pigmented.
Longevity:
Since the name says "soft matte lip creams" , this creamy gorgeousness wouldn't be the most long lasting liquid lipstick in your stash. It would stand no where in comparison to my Sugar Smudge Me Not Lipstick or for that matter the Incolor Matte Me Ones. But The formula of NYX SLMC is also wayyyyy more comfortable and non-drying comparitively. Also reapplication of these incase they wear off is super easy and clean. You don't need to wipe out the whole lipstick to reapply. you can just go over it again and it wont look crumbly.
Final Word:
NYX SLMC in Rome is my perfect nude lipstick and the one of the most worn too. It has a smooth texture and smells of vanilla. It comes in a huge variety of shades and is an affordable drugstore liquid lipstick.
