The formula of the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams is truly one of a kind. Neither a lip gloss or a lipstick, these go on silky smooth and set to a matte finish. What really distinguishes them from other matte lip products however, is how moisturizing they are!

With an assortment of 11 shades that are named after famous cities around the world, these are sure to impress if you are a fan of a matte finish that doesn’t dry out your lips. For best results and with any matte product, I’d recommend exfoliating the lips before hand.

I have LONDON (matte brownish nude) and ISTANBUL (matte soft baby pink) and after trying them out for myself and seeing my friend Stacey’s how-to video on “the Perfect Red Lip”, I’m planning to pick up a few more…
