NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Lip Lingerie XXL Matte Liquid Lipstick - Unhooked (Grey Toned Beige)

Fantastic Product! I read the bad reviews out of curiosity because I love this product so much. A lot of user error. So follow these tips if you want the best longest wear lipstick of your life. 1.) You MUST exfoliate your lips. If they are chapped and cracked and dry. It will flake and peel bc your lips are! 2.) You MUST let it dry fully before sticking your lips on anything! I put my foundation and powder over my lips then apply my lipstick. I then do the entirety of my makeup. By the time I'm done (10-15 min). This is fully dry. And I can eat, drink for 14+ hours without transfer. 3.) You Must apply the color to your entire lip! Which also means the back (almost inner) of your bottom lip and ALL the way down your top lip if you want even application. Don't apply to half your lips, then go suck on a straw and whine about it doesn't look right. You didn't do it right! 4.) If the seal is broken that is the seller fault, not the manufacturer. Learn the difference before leaveing a bad review. (Insert eyeroll here) I adore this lipstick and have worn it for 5 years. It is the ONLY lipstick I wear. I have nearly every single color too. I get asked regularly (almost daily) because I work with the public what kind of lipstick I wear. I was eating and drinking at a restaurant having a great time when a woman interrupted just to ask me about my lipstick. She not only complimented the color but also said she had been watching me drink, take shots (bite the lime), eat wings, pizza and salad and my lipstick didn't budge! I carry this with me everywhere in many different shades because it's easier to show people and let them see the colors and take pictures of the tube than tell them what it is and wait while they search it. This is the only long wear lipstick that doesn't chap my lips in the least. Not one bit. This lipstick is magic and down right sexy. The only time I notice transfer is if I eat oily food like Chinese food, pasta coated in olive oil or something crazy greasy. That's it. So if I eat those foods I'm careful then only have to reapply to the inner portion of my bottom lip. Everything else I scarf down like a man and never worry about my lipstick budging or drying my lips out. Hooded photo is about 30 min after application. Hat photos are after almost 12 hours with no reapplication. Follow the steps and thank me later!

Where to start this? A lot to pack in! Generally speaking, because we can't post a separate review for each color that we've tried, NYX XXL Matte is fan-freaking-tastic!! Especially for the price. Is it perfect? Not 100%, but it's darn close. IMHO, the only things that could be improved are the transfer factor (more on that in a minute) and the amount of colors they have. Meaning, they don't have nearly enough! 🤨😁 To clarify what I meant about improving the longevity, immediately I must say this product is actually quite excellent at loving me for a long time! Ha, ha! In the drugstore, it's become tied for my #1 spot. Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink is the almost-identical twin to NYX XXL, but it rates much lower on the performance scale. Maybelline has a ton of colors! The two brands even smell the same. I wish the experience had been the opposite, believe me. Yet, if I could only buy one of the two, without question, it would be NYX! When the colors are fairly equal, (like NYX's Stamina vs. Maybelline's Pioneer or NYX's Deep Mesh vs. Maybelline's Composer, for two examples) there isn't hesitation which to reach for because I know NYX isn't going to embarrass me later in the day. In fact, Stamina lasted overnight! It had faded a little bit in the center of both lips when I got out of bed the next morning, but it was still decidedly visible. And it was only visible on my face, not on the pillowcase! 😲 About the formula, NYX XXL is super pigmented, super creamy, smells utterly delicious (like angel food cupcakes) and has a large, terry-like doe foot applicator. It applies like a dream! The applicator is particularly excellent, makes it very easy to add shape correction, enhancement, whatever effect you might want. Liner is mostly rendered useless unless you have a special need or a specific look you're trying to achieve. I would suggest exfoliating lips prior to use, and also making sure they are hydrated, but not greasy on or around their surface. Afterwards, I find it best to keep my lips open and separated until they fully dry, maybe two or three minutes. Then it's all-day gorgeous! 🪞💄 Longevity has always been my #1 criteria. To provide my personal scale of context, Revlon Limitless Matte has overtaken their Overtime Lip Color (the original) to now tie with NYX XXL for my #1 drugstore spot. Revlon changed their Overtime formula somewhere along the way and it isn't quite as ironclad as it was before. The colors are a little thinner now and it just doesn't have the same "pow-wow." As in, "Pow!" that color looks rich and vivid, or "Wow!" look how it lasts! NYX still needs (a tiny bit of) improvement to be truly100% transfer proof like Overtime *used* to be, but it's damn close, and better than plenty of department store brands that cost 3x as much! Lastly, a note on colors, specifically the reds, because I haven't found the depictions to be totally accurate. Color is very subjective, I know, so please take my interpretations for whatever they may (or may not!) be worth. I would describe Stamina as medium depth, neutral-cool red; not quite as intensely blue as TLB's Bawse Lady, but definitely not warm. Sizzlin' is the same shade only deeper/darker, and Untamable is the neutral-warm answer to Stamina. Not orangey, just not cool-toned. All of these shades are handy depending upon what you're trying to match, and they're all beautiful! 😍

Bold black color that lasts all day. Applicator is too big so easy to apply too much. Takes 10 minutes to dry for me. This is absolutely a must but from now on.

Not terrible at all, but wouldnt order again personally over the other brand I use. Just wanted to try something new. The applicator was very flimsy and cheap feeling, not that rigid where I had to be a little more careful when applying, and started fadding close to the inner lip a little faster than my preferd brand. Applies like a thick cream then dries matte and definitely doesnt transfer once dried. Because it is matte and transfer proof, your lips do feel dry when wearing it, but im use to it with the other brand I wear. This was just 1 coat, Applied at 9am and its now 5pm. Only had 1 meal and never reapplied. Haven't tried to remove yet so unsure if its a littler easier than my preferred brand or not at least.

I wasn’t sure about this item, but it is fantastic. Great color, long lasting and looks great! Very happy I bought this. It’s become my “go to” lipstick.

I love this lip stain. Holds up well and has so many colors to choose from. I prefer the matte as opposed to the shine. I have received several compliments on the colors. Would highly recommend

Not the shade of chocolate I was going for, this is definitely more "milk" choco than coco choco. I was hoping it was a dupe for "limbo" by Colourpop, because that company no longer sells that shade, which they should bring back. It was iconic. The Nyx product is a 10 out of 10, just not my shade however, I will tweak it to my liking

I like this liquid lipstick pretty much! It looks good and stays on for several hours! It has a matte finish but in the pic I added gloss over top of it. It’s a super good value for the money too! It’s somewhat moisturizing I guess I would say, it doesn’t dry your lips out terribly like some liquid lippies on the market. I am pleased with the color I bought too, it’s a nice kind of chocolate brown! Overall, it’s a good buy! I really like Nyx makeup in general!

Definitivamente es mi marca favorita de labiales, no me resecan las labios , no deja plastas de pintura , no se cae a pedazos el color, duran muchísimo. Tengo ya casi todos los colores

Topissime acheter foncer!!! Il est extra pas de transfert et super doux ne desseche pas les lèvres

Me encantó el color, lo volveré a comprar Dura mucho y no se siente incómodo como otros labiales mate

Ich würde auch 10 Sterne vergeben! Der mit Abstand beste Liquid Lipstick, der wirklich wirklich wirklich ohne schmieren hält (nachdem man ihn in Ruhe hat trocknen lassen!). Ich brauche einen Lebensvorrat davon!

Fabulous pink...not for the shy + retiring!!
