I have heard a lot about NYX Sierra from my cousin so I wanted to try it badly but it wasn’t available easily here in India.

So, my cousin sent it to me from US and today I will review it for you all. NYX Matte lipstick comes in black plastic packaging with a “clear” window in between to show off the color. The packaging is good and travel friendly. Another shade NYX Matte Lipstick Pure Red has been reviewed on the blog before.

Shade: I just love the shade; NYX Sierra is very unique and different. NYX describes it as “Bronze with pink undertones” but it’s nowhere near bronze when swathed. It sometimes looks peachy, sometimes looks coral and sometimes looks pink. The color looks different in different lighting and the shade is neither too bright nor too dull. If you are bored of the regular pinks, brown and nudes, then this shade is definitely for you. It’s universally flattering shade and it will look different on different skin tones.NYX Sierra Matte Lipstick review swatches photos india (2)Texture & Formula –The formula is matte but it’s not dry that you need to tug your lips while applying it. I always wear lip balm beneath matte lipsticks otherwise they tend to accentuate fine lines so make sure your lips are well-exfoliated and moisturized. The texture is creamy and thus the application is super comfortable.  Initially, NYX Sierra gives a slight sheen and doesn’t look matte but within 5 minutes the sheen vanishes and the shade turns into matte. It doesn’t slip or slide around my lips even when I apply it without liner which is good thing for a lazy girl like me.

PigmentationNYX Matte Lipstick Sierra is highly pigmented. You literally need to swipe it single time on your lips and it instantly covers lip-pigmentation and gives full opaque coverage. I purchase matte lipsticks because of their amazing pigmentation and this one is also highly pigmented shade. When you’re in a hurry, just swipe it immediately and you will get a flush of color on your lips. Don’t layer it up as it can look cakey or patchy.NYX Sierra Matte Lipstick review swatches photos india (4)Staying power – Staying power of NYX Sierra is good and it stays for more than 5+ hours with slight meals in between. It starts fading after three four hours depending on how much you eat and talk. It doesn’t fade unevenly which is also a good thing for those with dry flaky lips.NYX Sierra Matte Lipstick review swatches photos india (1)

 

Overall Thoughts

NYX Matte Lipstick-Sierra is a beautiful shade for every day. The pigmentation is amazing and the texture isn’t drying in fact its smooth. The lipstick stays for more than 5 hours and it fades evenly. I personally loved the shade and the quality too so I would like to try other shades from this range. Highly recommended.

Rating: 4.8/5
