My Experience with NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Madrid:

Packaging: I love the color-coordinated tube which helps distinguish the shade right off the bat. The shade name is mentioned via a sticker on the bottom of the tube.

Applicator: The wand is short and precise. It is a double-sided doe foot wand, so it picks up enough product for you to coat your entire lips with a single dip using both sides.

Shade: “Madrid” is described as a matte cranberry red color. This shade is a perfect balance of being a red and and berry shade at the shade time. I love this shade so much for fall and winter. It is just so striking and beautiful. It goes on with such full and opaque color in one swipe, there is no streakiness at all.

Texture and Feel:  The texture of this lip cream is quite pleasing. This lip cream feels featherlight on the lips, almost like a hybrid of a mousse and a cream which sets to a soft matte look as it dries. When I wear this, I totally forget the fact that I have something on my lips.

Pigmentation:  While all shades I own have good pigmentation, I have noticed that some apply streakier and dry patchier than others. I have found that the shades on the lightest end (some of the n*des and pastel shades) and the darkest end of the spectrum (some vampy shades and unconventional shades etc) from their range can be streaky and it can get very difficult to make them look even even with multiple coats. Most of the shades in the middle (pinks, reds etc) perform fantastic.

Staying Power:  This particular shade wears for 6-7 hours before starting to fade from the inner portion of my lips. It does leave a mild stain on my lips. It does not bleed but is prone to smearing if I am not careful and touch it by mistake. It is not transferproof.

Overall, I am impressed with this product and with this range, especially taking into account the affordable price tag. But I would urge you to read reviews for the shades you are eyeing as the performance is not consistent across the board for all shades.

As for this particular shade, “Madrid,” I am head-over-heels in love with it. I normally do not wear red lip color, but when I do, this is the first one I would reach for. I highly recommend “Madrid” lip cream.
