NYX Cosmetics Matte Lipstick Aria Review

Skin Tone: Dusky with warm undertone

Hi everyone,

I am experimenting a lot with lipstick shades recently. I have hoarded a few violets and blues in the past few months. I was planning to buy a purple lipstick for long. This shade from NYX looked like an exact dupe of MAC Heroine to me, so I grabbed this one with two other lipsticks from NYX’s matte range. Read on for more details on this lipstick.

My Experience with NYX Cosmetics Matte Lipstick Aria:

Packaging: NYX Velvet Matte lipstick range comes in a black tube that has a nice velvety texture and there is a clear ring over the tube. Due to the transparent cap, you can easily notice the colour even when it is stored in your lipstick stand. It is a nice lightweight packaging and travel friendly too. But according to its price, it feels a little cheap. I expected it to have a metallic finish and an outer carton. Also, the product may melt a little in heat and you will see stains in the tube as you twist down the product and it is visible from outside due to the transparency. I am not a big fan of this messy sight at all.

Shade:  “Aria” looks a deep violet-purple in the bullet, but once you apply it on the lips, it becomes a vibrant orchid purple. I have seen swatches of the much-raved about “MAC Heroine” lipstick and I think this is the perfect dupe for that. If you want this to be more violet, you may use a blue or violet lip pencil beneath. It brightens up the face instantly and it is one such colour which you can apply without any other makeup on. It will look great with fresh pink makeup look and I will wear this mostly in winter and spring.

Texture and Quality:  This lipstick has a soft and smooth texture that glides well and evenly over my lips. It has an amazing coverage and my heavily pigmented lips need just one swipe of this lipstick. It feels very light and comfortable. I really like this formula and it has a beautiful non-drying finish that will suit all skin types. It does not turn into a drying matte shade, but instead it stays creamy matte for long. The formula doesn’t feel patchy or dry on the lips. In fact, it provides good hydration to them and keeps them soft for long. However, as it is a creamy lipstick, it transfers initially, but that does not affect the colour intensity though.

Staying Power: This colour stays put for 7-8 hours. It does fade a little if you drink or eat something, but that does not affect the colour much. The little fading from the middle does not look bothersome. Also, when it fades away completely, it leaves a good stain behind. I love that colour and will not complain about that at all.
