NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUPLiquid Suede Cream Lipstick - Life's A Beach (Bright Coral)

Really enjoying this!! I especially like that I don't have to worry about it transferring to other things. It stays put...well, I notice a little transfer when I'm drinking/eating something, but it's not bad at all. I purchased multiple colors, the Alien Black, Pink Lust, Respect the Pink, and Kitten Heels. They all look vibrant and nearly perfectly matte. I usually apply and then wait a couple minutes and apply another coat and wow. They're amazing.These last most of the day. I think this is my favorite line from NYX. If I'm planning on wearing this all day, I either use an exfoliator, balm, and/or chapstick underneath so that my lips don't dry out. This is not a moisturizing lipstick. When I don't use something underneath then I notice that it flakes a little nearing the end of the work day. But I have found that using a moisturizing lipstick over it makes it last all day and it doesn't flake.I think that my favorite color of the ones I purchased is Kitten Heels by far...it's a bright red and just pops. The Alien Black isn't 100% black, but it's really close. The Pink Lust is very vibrant. Respect the Pink is perfect and a light yet bright pink. Watch the pricing on this product as you can get colors for way cheaper at different times. I purchased mine at $1.81 and currently it's sitting at $6.97. But on average, I've found these for around $3 and always purchase at about that price point. So be mindful of that and wait for your color(s) to move price. I usually save them in my cart and when the price changes I'm notified and I'll move them to my cart and purchase them. Just a helpful hint.Pros:The colors are vibrant!The black is nearly 100% black!These stay on most of the day.They really are matte.I haven't had any stain my clothes or hands.These colors are opaque.The price point is really great! Cons: Lightly flakes after hours of use.It has stained my teeth and tongue, so I'm just careful and don't have that problem.This doesn't moisturize at all.-----If you found this review helpful in any way, please click the 'Yes' button below.

Great pigment, smells amazing! Non sticky with little transfer I love it!

The color of this is beautiful. It goes on well and dries quickly. No smell, it doesn’t leave my lips dry and flaky like some. My only complaint would be it doesn’t last as long as others. It smudged and comes off with ease. However, it is well worth the money. I would buy it again!

This Liquid suede Cream in Sandstorm is a game-changer for anyone looking for a versatile, neutral shade. It’s the only color I’ve found that truly complements my skin tone without washing me out or clashing. The muted yet rich undertones strike the perfect balance, making it ideal for everyday wear or pairing with bolder looks.The formula itself is smooth, lightweight, and long-lasting without feeling drying—a rare find for a matte finish. It glides on effortlessly and sets into a velvety texture that feels comfortable for hours.If you’ve struggled to find a nude that works with your skin tone, I can’t recommend Sandstorm enough. It’s my go-to shade, and honestly, no other color comes close!

This lip color is solid - it covers the skin well, is easy to apply. The applicator is shaped in such a way that I found it easy to shape my lips quickly without making a mess. If you get it on the skin, it cleans off easily without leaving a black smear or discoloration that would require makeup remover to fix. The color is just right - it is a matte black, perfect for Halloween, clubbing, or a goth look. One this that I did not realize when I bought it is that it doesn't set - the lip stick stays moist. But it also does not wear off easily, so I only had to reapply once during the evening. i would buy it again.

The formula goes on nicely. It doesn't lift up color if you add a second coat (though I found it's pigmented enough that only 1 layer is necessary). It's easy to find black eyeliner to match.The downside is that it's def not transfer proof or smudge proof. If you touch it you'll get it on your fingers. Def not kiss proof, you'll end up with blue all over your partner and smeared all over your face. It stayed put for hours while I drank, but it immediately wore off my lips and went all over my chin when I ate a sandwich (which would be embarrassing if you're in a restaurant). I also found that I couldn't chew gum while wearing it bc it caused the lip color to rub off onto my teeth (a problem I didn't have otherwise).It looks great with a clear gloss on top. However I found that with a gloss over it it bleeds the color onto the skin above the lips, looking like you have a thousand little wrinkles. This could be due to the pencil I used as liner (Maybelline Tattoo Studio Gel Pencil). Maybe I needed a less creamy pencil for the liner. Or it could be the formula.I also bought this in blue and found the same issues. It has staying power as long as you don't touch it, eat or chew gum. Fortunately it doesn't dry out the lips, though I would recommend moisturizing them a lot before applying.Given how many companies make black lipstick I would look elsewhere and get a transfer proof, smudge proof lip product.

I have been wanting a black lipstick for the upcoming Halloween holiday and decided to purchase this one great quality goes on smooth it very pigmented it does smear so you may have to set it but for the most part love it Definitely recommend
