Nykaa Naughty Nude, Taupe Thrill So Matte Lipsticks Review Swatches Photos

Nykaa has recently launched So Matte lipstick range and many of you asked me to review it. I saw the swatches online and didn’t find those interesting since there are too many pinks there. Also I already have pinks so didn’t want to pick more, so I picked the two neutrals, though I was a bit skeptical. The swatches on the website never matches the actual products most of the times, but still I went ahead and bought – Nykaa Naughty Nude, Taupe Thrill So Matte Lipsticks.

Packaging is quite interesting. The outer cardboard cover is bright and the actual product comes in a magnetic case. Which at this price is quite good. However I find them too big, the case reminds me of NARS lipsticks but they are sleeker & heavier than Nykaa So Matte Lipsticks. Black case has shade name and number written on the bottom.

Shades – I got both neutral shades – Nykaa Naughty Nude, Taupe Thrill . Taupe Thrill is a Taupe-Brown shade and Naughty Nude is a pink warm toned brown. I thought Naughty Nude would be my preferred shade, but to my surprise I like Taupe Thrill more, due to its cool tone. It looks really good and different from the other neutral lipsticks I own.

Both the shades are dark enough to look good on all skintones and can be perfect work wear lipsticks.

Texture & Formula – Now coming to the So Matte claim, none of the shades I own are completely matte. I would describe the formula as a creamy one, which glides on smoothly without tugging or pulling. I have dry lips and the formula sits comfortably on the lips for good 4+ hours, after that I start feeling a little dry.

The texture is smooth & none of them felt crumbly or patchy. Smooth even finish in one stroke !

Pigmentation – Nykaa Naughty Nude, Taupe Thrill So Matte Lipsticks are quite pigmented. I have pigmented lips and both evened out the tone without much layering.

Staying Power – I could get a wear-time of good 4-5 hours from both. These have a good staying power and you can still see the color on the lips after meals.

Nykaa Naughty Nude, Taupe Thrill So Matte Lipsticks are priced at Rs 399 each and available at Nykaa.com

Overall Thoughts

If you don’t care much about super matte formula and love a creamy-matte finish then do try Nykaa Naughty Nude, Taupe Thrill So Matte Lipsticks. These are beautiful everyday shades for medium-deeper skintone. I like the finish & formula, also the staying power is pretty decent too.

    The packaging is something i really like, they resemble the Sugar lipsticks. But this seems to be the old wine in new bottle. Same semi matte formula claimed as matte.
