Delivers Classic Red Lip

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024

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.

Doesn’t stay on for very long

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2023

I have heard all the hype about these lip glosses and liquid lipstick. This was my first liquid lipstick from NYX. First , the color didnt look anything like the swatch when ordering. It didnt stay on very long at all. It could have been the order itself because it was awefully dry to be a brand new liquid lipstick. I mean it felt like it had been used several times. I usually am excited to get one of these products from this line. I also got the gloss to go with it and it seemed like it didnt have a lot in it also. So im going to give it three stars. I liked how it glides on. It was a color that didn’t flatter me,but it was a nice color.

My favorite color so far, looks natural on me

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2023

Color: AthensSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

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.

OVER 70 and still love lip colors! Ones that work with my super pale skin

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2020

Color: BudapestSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

First, I am in my early 70's. I use my toothbrush to exfoliate around my lips and then put original Burt's Bees (the waxy peppermint one) on at night and during the day. I mention this because while I find these mattes non-drying, I wouldn't want to start with a DRY or CHAPPED lip.

This will give you an idea about my reviews of the colors. I chose them after looking at them OVER and OVER with the hope they would go with my pale, blue tone skin tone and they DO!

PROS:
FIRST, all went on SMOOTHLY, feel creamy and take awhile to dry down. That gives you time to touch up if you have colored at all outside the lines, a quick swipe with Qtip fixes that.

BUDAPEST - This and MADRID are MY FAVS for everyday. Love it on my fair skin. A nice moderately dark mauve, but with some red to it, shade that is flattering, gives me some color and one that will be an every day go to. Not nearly as DRAMATIC as Madrid or Copenhagen, but DEFINITELY noticeable for some POP!

MADRID - A GREAT red for those of us with fair skin with more blue in our tone. It's a medium bright red, but not TOO bright. There's just enough brownish mauve to tamp it down and make it VERY flattering on my pale skin. Makes more of a statement than the Budapest, but still definitely wearable during the day running errands. Sets off my mostly white hair well :-)

COPENHAGEN - OK, this was a bit of a surprise. I looked at SEVERAL youtube vids of women of different skin colors trying on all the shades. I was concerned the Copenhagen might be TOO dark (not really going for heavy vamp or Goth look, but I LOVE my dark reds!). INTERESTING COLOR. Not as dark on, and I'm looking at it on my lips in sunlight. Kind of deep red wine with slight brown overtone. NYX calls it a deep plum, but on my skin, more of a deep wine. Goes well with my blue undertone skin. It is DEFINITELY the darkest of the three, and I think likely the DARKEST red/wine shade before you start going into really dark purples like Transylvania or Vancouver.

Beijing: rosy pink with very cool undertones

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024

Color: BeijingSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I love the consistency of this product. It’s very thin and lightweight as if you’re not wearing anything at all. I think this is a really good choice for people that don’t like the feeling of lipstick/gloss but still want some color.

I am currently on the search for a dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Wedding Belles or something that fits the bill for the perfect my lips but better pinky nude. I was very curious about the shade beijing as I couldn’t find it anywhere else online or in store and from the photos it seemed like it had potential. It is definitely much different in the pictures than in person. It’s hard to capture the blue undertones on camera, but this color is VERY cool toned and not nude at all. Not quite what i’m looking for, but it’s cute! I was hoping for a bit more natural and a little less pizazz
