NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM REVIEW LIVE LIP SWATCHES

This is my swatch collection for the soft matte lip creams by NYX. I have 17 of them here and I'm going to be swatching every single one of these on my lips for you guys to see. What these are is a soft matte lip cream. In no means is this a long-wearing lipstick. I think a lot of people get that confused, but this is a liquid-ish cream that dries to a completely matte finish. NYX Cosmetics markets this as neither a lipstick nor lip gloss. This matte lip cream is a new kind of lip color that goes on silky smooth and sets to a matte finish. Soft matte lip cream is surprisingly durable and, unlike some matte lipstick formulas, also moisturizing and I can completely vouch for that. These are very moisturizing. In these soft matte lip creams, you do get eight milliliters of product and it does come with a doe foot applicator, which is awesome because it's super easy to get your like lines here really defined. It's just super easy. You don't necessarily need a lip liner or anything like that when you've got this puppy. For the swatches, I am going to say that these are on my lips. I am doing pretty much one coat just to show you guys the pigmentation. I'm not using a lip liner. I don't have any color on my lips. Completely clean, wiped away. And I just want to mention that colors do translate differently on different skin tones, lip tones, lip shapes, anything like that. So this is just a guideline for you guys to see the different colors. So let's get into them. This first one is Charo. It is like a peaches and cream nude. I think it is the lightest one that I own. It has a nice orange undertone to it. If you have a tan going on whatsoever, I think it would look super gorgeous on you. It did take about two layers to get the full opacity of it on top of my lips. Next up is London. This is a gorgeous sort of a browny orange nude. I think if you are a darker skin tone, this would look gorgeous on you. This would translate more of a nude on a darker skin tone. This is with only one coat on my lips. I think that it has great pigmentation to it. I actually don't mind this shade on me. It's very neutral. This is Stockholm and at first glance it might seem very similar to London, but it is more of a corally. It's like a baby coral shade. I think this is almost the perfect corally pinky nude. It's dark. It's a dark nudist shade, but I think it's very flattering on. This one is Sydney and it is your like Nicki Minaj bubblegum pink. I think it is such a fun bright color. If you're being Nicki Minaj for Halloween, this is the color that you're going to need to buy. It's a very pale, pale pink. I think it is the palest pink in the line and it does have a very strong blue undertone to it. This one is Tokyo and it is just like a baby pink. It's coming off on camera a little bit more baby pink than it is in real life. In real life it kind of has like a corally tone to it a little bit. Oh, I think it's gorgeous. It's like perfect for spring. I did have to do a couple layers of this just to get the pigmentation like really opaque. This is Istanbul. It is a little bit of a darker tone than Tokyo, but it's pretty much almost the exact same color. You just have a little bit more of a darker, deeper tone to it. The packaging of this is a little bit deceiving because it's not necessarily the exact same color. It's a little bit darker than it is in the tube, but the pigmentation of this is like so high. It just took like one stroke over my lips pretty much and it was just like so opaque. We're getting into the darker tones now because this is Milan and it is a Barbie pink. I think this is like the definition of a Barbie pink. The formulation of this one, oddly enough, this is the first one that I've really found that I've swatched yet that really goes on super smooth. It doesn't ball up anywhere. It's like a paint. This one was nice. I really like this color. I'm into it. This is Antwerp and what a gorgeous color. Again, this one went on really smoothly. I find that the darker the shade, the smoother it goes on. This is a bright coral. It's a pinky coral. It does have a little bit of a blue undertone to it. I think this is perfect for spring again. Like, oh, this color. It just, it applied so nicely. I'm in love with these pinks. This is San Paolo. San Paolo. Am I saying that right? Yeah. I think that this color is the most gorgeous like deep pink I've ever seen in my life. It applied beautifully. It's so forgiving. I think it's just really beautiful for like a night out. I think this is gorgeous. I come across a lot of pinks in this line that I really do love and I fall in love with. It's strange because I usually wear reds, but I love, I love the pinks in this line. This one is Ibiza and if you want a bright pink coral pop, it's, this is the color for you. It's a really, it's a statement color. I think it's super gorgeous. It's perfect for spring again. I find that in each sort of tone of color, there is like a coral and then a pink. So if there's a light, in the light range, there's a baby pink and a coral. And in the medium range, there's a baby pink and a coral. And in the dark range, there's a medium pink and a coral. And this is, I'm in love with it. It's for sure a statement coral. Adisa Baba is the deepest tone of pink that you're going to find with still being in the bright pink kind of family. It's bright, it's pink, it's bold. It's a statement, that is for sure. But with that being said, that it's still a statement, it's not necessarily as dark as this next one that I'm going to be talking about. And this one is Prague. We are stepping into the deeper tones now. This is more on the purple family, but it still does have a tinge of pink in it. These ones are getting bold and bright. Again, it was so easy to apply. It's just like it's painting on your lips. Before I step into more darker purpley, dark reddish tones, I'm going to jump back and talk about this one. This is Morocco. What a perfect name for this soft matte lip cream because it's just like bright orange. It does have a blue undertone to it, so it makes my teeth like look really white. This is gorgeous and the pigmentation on this was so high. It was unbelievable. I need to wear... I love like orange lipsticks and I need to wear them more often. Just soak in the color. Let's just take a moment to admire the glory that is Amsterdam. This is one of my favorite soft matte lip creams just because I find that it's so universal and it's such a unique color. It's in the red family, but it's still sort of orange. It's like a happy medium between the two. I just think it's so pretty and this is honestly one of the first ones that I ever put on my lips when I first got the soft matte lip cream because it just... it spoke to me. Like when you see this in the store, you're like, oh it's so unique. It's still... it's red, but it's pink, but it's orange. It's just everything. This is also one of my favorites. It's Monte Carlo. It is your traditional blue tone red. Yeah, cool tone red. It's gorgeous. The color on my lips isn't necessarily the same color as in the tube because I did only put on one layer. It does build up. The packaging is a little bit deceiving this way, but I still think it's a gorgeous, gorgeous red. The great thing about this is too, it applies so evenly. It's just like, oh lord. Now on to a couple darker tones. This is Copenhagen and this is the perfect wine fall color. If you're looking for a deep tone, this is a perfect one. It's not too dark that it looks a little bit gothy and scary and it's still a bump up from red, so it's something interesting to look at besides just a red lipstick. This is one of my personal favorites as well. Everyone knows I love Diva from MAC. Diva is a little bit more of a redder tone. This is more purple-y. I do find that you can see some of the dry skin that is on my lips. Make sure you exfoliate before you put on a soft matte lip cream. And lastly, this is Transylvania. This is like a cult favorite. This is the darkest shade and I think it is absolutely beautiful. It is a purple, like a deep dark purple. It's kind of like MAC Cyber, but this is just like heaven on my lips, I'll tell ya. At this point, you can see all the red around my lips, but this one, it does take time to build up. This is two layers on my lips right now. This is Transylvania with one coat on. So it does take a little bit to build up, but when you're putting something this dark on something this light, I said this in my Dior Cosmetics swatch video as well, it takes a little bit to build up. But when it is build up, oh my god, I love it. I love doing swatch videos as a reference point for you guys. I think that it's so fun. These are awesome as well. I love them. They stay on your lips. Although it's not a long wearing lipstick, I find that it stays on my lips for so long because it is a matte formula and then essentially it is to stay long because it's not rubbing around, it's not transferring onto your teeth or transferring onto anything else. It's not transfer resistant, but it's going to stay on your lips and I love that. Anyway, I will see you guys in my next video. Hey everyone, today I'm going to be doing my swatch. Am I or am I going to be doing my swatch? This one is Stockholm. The packaging of this isn't necessary. My neighbor is over there watching me. Bright spring curl. It still does have a pink tinge, tinge, tinge, but it still does on and off my teeth. I think this is so great. It's going on forever.
