My Experience with NYX Downtown Beauty Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick:

The packaging of the lipstick is nice. It comes in a long cylindrical color-coded plastic tube with a black cap. There is a typical doe-foot applicator attached with the cap. The applicator is soft and its sharp and flat edges helps to achieve precise application. The applicator wand is long and it gives total control over lipstick application. The brand name and other details about the product are printed on the tube. The shade name is also mentioned on the side of the tube. The color-coded packaging helps to easily spot the shade in makeup stash. The cap fits pretty securely making it leak-proof and travel-friendly. Overall, the packaging is strong and travel-friendly.

The shade “Downtown Beauty” is a warm toned brown shade. This is such a unique shade and it looks flattering in winters. This shade will go well on a wide variety of skin tones. The shade is bold and bright. It brightens up the complexion instantly. This is going to look stunning on the lips. People, who like subtle shades of lipsticks may not find this shade much useful. But, if you carry bold shades easily, this is a perfect shade for the fall. The lipstick is absolutely free from any shimmers and it sets to a gorgeous semi-matte finish. It neither looks glossy nor super matte.

The formula is decently pigmented and requires at least two coats to get even, smooth and streak-free finish. It gives an opaque coverage and hides the pigmentation of the lips.

The texture of the lipstick is to die for. It has a whipped cream type of texture, which glides effortlessly on the lips like a dream. It is super soft, smooth and creamy. Therefore, it feels comfortable on the lips. The applicator picks up the right amount of the product required for one application. It has a lightweight formula, but I can still feel the presence of the lipstick on the lips. There is no glossiness in the formula of the lipstick. But, it stays slightly creamy and does not dry out completely to ultra-matte transfer-proof finish. It does not cling to dry patches of the lips, but still I suggest prepping the lips well before applying any matte lipstick to get healthy and smooth looking lips. The formula is slightly moisturizing, so it is important to moisturize the lips well. The lipstick does not smear or feather even upon layering. It does not settle into the fine lines of my lips initially, but after a heavy meal, the color fades away from the center and it settles into the fine lines of the lips. It does transfer a little and is not completely transfer-proof.

The longevity of the lipstick is somewhere around 5-6 hours on my lips with little sipping of water and little snacking. It can survive light meals as well with slight fading, but fades from the center of the lips after having a full meal. This is very easy to remove with a makeup remover wipe and does not stain the lips.
