Bloody Mary

NYX Bloody Mary Matte Lipstick ($5.99 for 0.16 oz.) is a medium-dark, pink-red with very strong, blue undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had good pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with a half a layer more on top. The lipstick had more of a velvety feel and was slightly firmer in the tube compared to others in the range, and it seemed to cling more noticeably on. This shade wore well for over six hours, left a stain behind, but was moderately drying to me.

The Matte Lipstick is supposed to be “highly pigmented” and have a “velvety, non-glossy” finish. In general, the formula has semi-opaque to opaque color coverage with a velvety texture that glides on without tugging but doesn’t have a lot of slip, so the lipstick won’t slide around while worn. The formula varied from non-drying to moderately drying with wear times that ranged from four to over six hours (deeper, reddish shades lasted quite long). It has a mint scent and no discernible taste. I noticed that the packaging had a tendency to twist up the lipstick too easily (even barely holding it) and sometimes would twist down as I would apply it directly from the tube.

Perfect Red

NYX Perfect Red Matte Lipstick ($5.99 for 0.16 oz.) is a medium red with neutral-to-warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. The lipstick had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly across the lips and never tugged or dragged. The consistency was just barely creamy, which made the lipstick feel lightweight and thin on the lips, but it wasn’t uncomfortable or clingy while worn. It stayed on well for over six hours, left a stain behind but was somewhat drying after four hours of wear.

Eden

NYX Eden Matte Lipstick ($5.99 for 0.16 oz.) is a medium-dark, pinky red with cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. It was richly pigmented with a lightly creamy texture that wasn’t too thin nor too thick. The texture was just creamy enough to apply without tugging but did not slide around. There was a smidgen of color that gathered in my deepest lip line but was not noticeable from a normal viewing distance. On me, the color lasted for over six hours, left a stain behind but was lightly drying over time.
