Hey all!!! Today I am going to review NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm. This lip product combines the best of two top trends in the lipstick world – matte finish and liquid lipstick. Though NYX is not very widely available in India, still you can find it at Sephora and few local beauty stores. These lip creams are one of the most popular product from the brand. So, lets know more about the product. 🙂
Product Claims: Neither 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.
My Experience: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm comes in a lip-gloss packaging. The screw cap has a matte black finish and the tube is of the same shade as the color. The wand is, also, a typical lip-gloss applicator which makes it easy to apply the shade. I find the packaging quite sturdy and convenient. And plus, it looks chic too.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm is a soft pink with beige undertones. It is a beautiful nude shade for various skin tones. In fact, it might look a deeper nude on fair complexions and natural nude on medium to deep ones. The color looks gorgeous with a slightly heavy makeup on the eyes. This will ensure that the light shade does not wash you out. Nonetheless, it is a pretty everyday shade and can be worn to work with a simple eyeliner as well.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm has a mousse-type texture. It is not a cream or a liquid. The lip cream goes on smooth and applies matte. It spreads easily and does not drag on the lips. However, the lip cream has a drying texture and will emphasize fine lines as well. It is best to exfoliate your lips well before you wear NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm. However, it will still emphasize any minor imperfection you have.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm has a very impressive pigmentation. One swipe is enough for a good color pay-off. The lip cream lasts for 5-6 hours on an average. However, does not last a meal at all. And you will need to remove it completely, before reapplication.
Pros:
- Medium pink with beige undertones.
- Beautiful nude shade for medium skin tones.
- Perfect every day shade.

- Mousse-like texture.
- Average lasting power.

Recommendation: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm is a beautiful shade of pink with nude undertones. Looks pretty on various skin tones. If you can manage the drying texture, this lip cream is a must try for subtle shade lovers.
