I’ll start off by saying this color is waaay out of my comfort zone! 🤣 BUT as a beauty blogger, I like to get all different products because even if I wouldn’t gravitate towards a certain color, doesn’t mean you wouldn’t! I’m wearing the color “Ace” which is a gray/slate blue. I actually do like this! This matte lipstick glides on smoothly and feels good on. It’s not a drying matte though. You can still rub your lips together. These lipsticks are very saturated so what you see is what you get! It also has a really nice scent; like flowery candy (I know that sounds strange but it’s hard to describe a scent). I think this would look AMAZING on deeper skin tones!!! This is a rich, warm, deep color and perfect for fall/winter. As with all NYX Cosmetics, this is cruelty ...

I know that there are quite a few who dislike scent in makeup products, I don’t particularly care either way. However, I generally prefer that my lip products have a nice, sweet scent. I’ve had lipsticks and glosses that were unscented, but the smell of the ingredients were off putting and so I never wore them. I’ve had lip products with floral scents, which I’m also not a fan of. It can be like having perfume on your lips. These smell sweet, not crazy strong, and a bit like almonds. I like it. And… the formula is pretty amazing. I feel like these don’t get as much hype as they should. Excellent pigment with one swipe coverage. Very comfortable. And they have a beautiful, velvety matte finish. I highly recommend them. The packaging is super cute too.... Show more

Amazing formula
I LOVE these lipsticks! They have a nice creamy formula and smooth application while also giving a nice matte appearance on the lips. Without it feeling too dry or drying!I plan on buying more of these, I love the quality, feel and great colors that compliment me in what I'm looking for. They aren't transfer proof but that's okay, they don't bleed or smudge for me. Lasts all day at work too. Doesn't need much touch ups throughout the day. These are an everyday go to wear for me. Absolutely love them! They even stay on after I eat food, I'm impressed! They're also such a great price !!... Show more

am I dreaming??
I have yet to give this lipstick a 12-hour test, but after a few hours I already want to re-open dead social media profiles (Facebook, even) to share my shock and delight with the entire internet. I have very, very dry lips (years of oily skin and acne adding insult to injury) and take an ADHD medication that makes my mouth and lips even drier. Even creamy, "hydrating" formulas (a few I can *tolerate* include L'Oreal, Winky Lux, and Tarte Color Splash) are bound to last 1-2 hours on my lips at best, before the skin starts to crease dry almost to the point of painfully cracking.No combination of water-chugging, lip scrub prep, hydrating primer, and balm touch-ups has fully addressed this issue... until this lipstick formula. I love NYX's butter gloss and soft matte ...

I love NYX's butter gloss and soft matte cream (I can get a few hours wear with touch-ups from those formulas, but at some point have to remove them and stick with balm for the rest of the day), but this Suede Matte lipstick is like nothing else I've tried from NYX! I bought shade Sweet Tooth, and it feels nothing like NYX's Velvet Matte or Butter Lipstick-- it feels like *I'm not wearing lipstick*.I keep pursing my lips and stretching them into a freakish grin and-- no cracking! No slipping or stickiness or creeping dryness! I feel like I'm losing my mind!!! What kind of chemical sorcery is this? After all the frustrated fumbling in my car, trying to touch up before work to hide damaged skin... I'm almost emotional about how well this lipstick is working.Some of this color range is too edgy for me to pair with my usual natural makeup, but come next paycheck I'm stocking up on every single color I can pull off. Another home run, NYX!... Show more

Better than I could have hoped for!
I'm really happy with this product! On a whim I decided to give black lipsticks a try, even though I wear a mask all the time (thank you zoom university for letting me show it off!) and haven't really done a bold lip in probably years. But wow! I bought this and the liquid suede in the same color, and I liked this formula better! Not as pigmented, but the feel was awesome! Not as drying as I would have expected, and was completely matte in the sense it gave no shine, but not in the sense it was completely dried down. Would definelty recommend a lip liner (which nyx also sells in black, which is rare) Bc dark colors noticeably budge, smear , and feather around the lips more. It is, of course, not kiss proof, but this is a plus if you have dry, heavily lined, or ... MoreI'm really happy with this product!

I ate a little bit with it on and didn't notice any color come off. I think it's perfect for me, who wants to get into bold lips but only needs them for online school. If you want something more sturdy and precise, go with the liquid suede in alien. That was also fantastic, but settled into my lines easier, and I did have to reapply after an hour because it faded noticeably. Did not feather or smudge around my lips, just faded in the center. And for the price, I couldn't be happier.... Show more

Excellent quality and affordable
I am so in love with these lipsticks! I've usually worn Estée Lauder, Clinique, Bare Minerals etc and I like this Nyx lipstick better than any of those other brands!! It goes on nice and smooth and the color doesn't look terrible when it fades. Colors in order Brunch Me, Cannes, Girl Bye (arrived broken), Vintage, Moonwalk, Alien. I'm hoping I will get a replacement for the broken lipstick. I wish the lipstick tubes themselves were a little more substantial but at this price point I can't complain too much. The formula is spot on so that's all that matters!... Show more

I like it
I bought the shade Moonwalk which on me is more of a purple grey. I don't EVER wear purple. I'm a 50 shades of brown girl BUT I do actually like this color. I wanted something different and I was very surprised how much I liked it on. It glides on smooth and I would say it's more of a demi matte, but it could just be my moisturizing lip routine. I took one star off because I feel like I have to reapply more often than I'd like but it's not patchy, wears off even. I would buy this again.... Show more

Lovely Lipstick But Poor Website Performance
Bought this as a stocking filler for my daughter for Christmas. She chose the colour herself so I know she will like it. The lipstick was delivered quickly and is good quality but my only issue was with the website. It was very difficult to place the order and took several attempts before I was able to successfully place the order. The lipstick would show up in the shopping cart but then when I went to check out it would disappear. It took several days before I could place the order so I don't know if there was a fault with the website. For some reason it would only let me order one item at a time so I had to pay two lots of delivery charges. For this reason I've only given a score of three stars instead of a five star rating...

Very Opaque
I heard great things about this so I gave it a try. I got the shade "Alien". As a goth, finding a true black shade can be tricky. This does the job. It doesn't stay on the longest and rubs off easily, but all in all it is a great lipstick. This formula doesn't fully dry, and doesnt go crusty. It has a nice non greasy moisturizing feel. My only issue was that wearing it for more than a couple hours irritates my lip piercing (done several years ago). Other than that it's perfect.... Show more

Would not repurchase
I bought this lipstick in the shade “spicy” with great expectations, but I was sadly disappointed. The application was smooth and the packaging is cute, but something in the formula made the lipstick look messy - almost like play-doh on my lips. It actually even smells like play-doh. I also found that the colour looked clownish but that might be due to my pale skin tone. All in all this product just wasn’t a good fit for me and I would not recommend it.... Show more
