You could add a lip pencil and a gloss to make them more wearable, but why? I didn’t wear lip pencils on any of these (I never do with swatches) but you’ll totally need one if you decide to wear these anyway as they don’t apply neatly.
NYX LIPSTICK SIREN SKIN
You can see that in the swatches and if you’re anywhere near my skin tone, I DO NOT recommend any of these shades. Because I was taking these lipstick swatches one after another and using a makeup wipe to take off the previous color, it was hard for the lighter shades to adhere to the inner part of my lips like the deeper colors would. The lighter shades though? It’s like they refused to glide on my lips and because they’re so light in color they highlighted every line on my lips. I like that these aren’t drying-they actually feel comfy on the lips. I’d say on average you can expect at least 5 hours of wear. In terms of wear, because these are matte they’re going to last longer than your typical non-matte lipstick and of course the brighter and deeper colors will last longer than the lighter ones. If I don’t start swatching at a certain time, I’m doomed because I start to lose light around 4 and the sun starts to set like around 4:30 and by 5 it’s completely dark out. Also this time of year is ROUGH with daylight savings time being gone. So I took these back to back so you’ll see where the skin around my lips were a little stained from the previous shades.
But for my lighter complected beauties, there’s a ton of pretty lighter shades for you in this collection :) And you’ll see why when you see the swatches of the lighter shades on my lips…lol.
I love a good matte but I’m mostly the deeper shade of matte kind of girl-reds, berries, deep pinks, magentas, eggplants, etc. ALL THE MATTES.īut then after I went through each shade I realized that not every shade needs to be a matte-at least not for me. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an expansive collection of mattes all at one time like this before! NYX Cosmetics sent over the entire lineup of their Matte Lipstick range and seriously, SO MANY MATTES.
NYX LIPSTICK SIREN FULL
The color fades after a full meal and it requires reapplication. The lasting power is average and it stays for around 4-5 hours on my lips with slight fading from the center of the lips. So, it is necessary to keep the lips well hydrated and moisturized with a lip balm. My lips feel dry after a few hours of application. The lipstick formula is slightly moisturizing, but if your lips are super dry, it may not be able to keep your lips hydrated for long. It does not have a thick or waxy kind of feel. I can feel the presence of the lip color on my lips, but it does not bother me as such. The lipstick is comfortable to wear, but I would not say that it is too lightweight. It has a tendency to transfer a little, but it does not have a heavily transferring formula. The lipstick is smudge proof and does not budge at all. The color fades away evenly after meals and never goes patchy.
