NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams are exactly that – creamy mattes. They come in standard doefoot applicators and apply almost juicy at first, before drying down matte after 5 to 10 minutes. Most online reviewers have described the texture of the lip cream as “smooth” and “moussey“, and generally easy to work with. Some creative ones out there have also even tried it as a cream blusher and reported that it blended well on the cheeks too.
The lip creams are notable for the extremely comfortable wear that they provide on the lips – something that might be shocking to those who are used to the sacrifice of dry, chapped lips for the sake of wearing matte liquid lipsticks.
Matte liquid lipsticks are, however, known to be extremely long-wearing which most reviewers agree that the Soft Matte Lip Creams are not. They could last a good 3-5 hours (without eating) before it needs a re-application. Considering the lip creams are so affordable, easy to re-apply, and doesn’t require a whole lot of lip-prepping, the shorter wear time doesn’t seem to faze most people.
Because of how it isn’t transfer-proof and has a shorter wear time, many online reviewers have critiqued the Soft Matte Lip Cream for not being a great liquid lipstick. However, it’s worthy to note that they were launched before liquid lipsticks were a thing, and aren’t supposed to be one.
