Unlike other liquid lipsticks that I've tried, these don't take very long to dry at all and have a whipped-mousse like texture when applied, but become quite matte when dried- it definitely isn't a wet formula like some liquid lipsticks. Most matte lip products tend to be very drying (cough cough, MAC) but these are hardly drying and don't flake! As the product is quite pigmented, I find that one swipe is enough but if you try to add more layers, it starts to cake a bit- so I would suggest sticking to the one! They are quite comfortable to wear on the lips, although they feel a tad dry after a while.
What really drew me to these lipsticks was how long they stayed on for and the minimal transfer; they stayed on for about 5 hours, and that's with eating and drinking! They also wear really nicely, I find that some lipsticks look tragic after a few hours and create this weird line on my inner lip- but these don't and just fade with time. However, if you try and take them off, it's fairly difficult- I suppose this has its good and bad points, though.
For those of you who know me, you'll know I'm an avid MAC lipstick collector and am obsessed with collecting them- but these wear so much better and stay on longer, and need I mention the price difference? These are definitely my new go-to lip products!
Overall, I think these are amazing and great value for money! I wish they had a broader shade range as many of the shades are near identical but there's no doubt that I will be picking more up- NYX really isn't failing to impress me! Have you tried these or know any other great liquid lipsticks? Leave me a comment down below!
