NYX Matte Lipstick in Indie Flick Review

NYX Matte Lipstick in Indie Flick Review

NYX matte lipsticks are one of my favourite lipsticks from the drugstore brands.  They have a variety of color choices with good pigmentation and not-so-dry matte formula. This time, I was in search of a coral bright red lipstick to wear in summer. I didn’t even look anywhere else and headed straight to the NYX counter and found this shade. I was confused between this shade and “Pure Red.” But I got this one for this time because Pure Red looked orange-ier in the tube.

My Experience with NYX Matte Lipstick in Indie Flick:

It comes in a black plastic body with transparent middle section that shows the color.  Shade is written on one end and body itself is covered with ingredients list and NYX written over it. Packaging is just okay, doesn’t look very classy. I think it would break if I drop it.

NYX describes this color as bright coral red and this is the exact description which can be given to this shade. It is a beautiful bright coral color indeed. I like that it doesn’t have orang-ish tone in this which happens to be the most disappointing thing when you buy a coral lipstick and find it to be more orange than coral.

Formula is semi matte I must say.  I like my lipstick finish as matte so that I don’t leave stain every where I touch my lips, it seriously is very embarrassing. I have used Colorbar Velvet Matte lipstick, which dried out my lips sometimes. But this lipstick here is very smooth and glides effortlessly without tugging on lips. You don’t need to put a lip balm under the lips.  It gives a creamy and semi-matte finish. After applying, I blot my lips on a tissue paper and then it turns complete matte without fading in color. It does transfer a little bit, but after blotting, it doesn’t transfer at all.

It has a weird smell, but not so strong, which goes away after a while. About the staying time, I apply it in the morning and after having one meal and till afternoon, it is still there on my lips but color faded a little bit in the centre. After fading, it does leave a stain but that looks beautifully coral unlike Colorbar Velvet Matte which leaves a pink stain always.

Pigmentation is quite good. In just one swipe, it gives its color to lips, so can be easily used on pigmented lips.  I am not an expert on ingredients, but I think it contains some of the good ones like tocopheryl acetate which is another name for vitamin E and titanium dioxide which is a physical sunscreen. Spf is not mentioned but I think it does provide sun protection.

Conclusion:
