Lip Lingerie XXL Matte Liquid Lipstick - Unhooked (Grey Toned Beige)

Where to start this? A lot to pack in! Generally speaking, because we can't post a separate review for each color that we've tried, NYX XXL Matte is fan-freaking-tastic!! Especially for the price. Is it perfect? Not 100%, but it's darn close. IMHO, the only things that could be improved are the transfer factor (more on that in a minute) and the amount of colors they have. Meaning, they don't have nearly enough! 🤨😁 To clarify what I meant about improving the longevity, immediately I must say this product is actually quite excellent at loving me for a long time! Ha, ha! In the drugstore, it's become tied for my #1 spot. Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink is the almost-identical twin to NYX XXL, but it rates much lower on the performance scale. Maybelline has a ton of colors! The two brands even smell the same. I wish the experience had been the opposite, believe me. Yet, if I could only buy one of the two, without question, it would be NYX! When the colors are fairly equal, (like NYX's Stamina vs. Maybelline's Pioneer or NYX's Deep Mesh vs. Maybelline's Composer, for two examples) there isn't hesitation which to reach for because I know NYX isn't going to embarrass me later in the day. In fact, Stamina lasted overnight! It had faded a little bit in the center of both lips when I got out of bed the next morning, but it was still decidedly visible. And it was only visible on my face, not on the pillowcase! 😲 About the formula, NYX XXL is super pigmented, super creamy, smells utterly delicious (like angel food cupcakes) and has a large, terry-like doe foot applicator. It applies like a dream! The applicator is particularly excellent, makes it very easy to add shape correction, enhancement, whatever effect you might want. Liner is mostly rendered useless unless you have a special need or a specific look you're trying to achieve. I would suggest exfoliating lips prior to use, and also making sure they are hydrated, but not greasy on or around their surface. Afterwards, I find it best to keep my lips open and separated until they fully dry, maybe two or three minutes. Then it's all-day gorgeous! 🪞💄 Longevity has always been my #1 criteria. To provide my personal scale of context, Revlon Limitless Matte has overtaken their Overtime Lip Color (the original) to now tie with NYX XXL for my #1 drugstore spot. Revlon changed their Overtime formula somewhere along the way and it isn't quite as ironclad as it was before. The colors are a little thinner now and it just doesn't have the same "pow-wow." As in, "Pow!" that color looks rich and vivid, or "Wow!" look how it lasts! NYX still needs (a tiny bit of) improvement to be truly100% transfer proof like Overtime *used* to be, but it's damn close, and better than plenty of department store brands that cost 3x as much! Lastly, a note on colors, specifically the reds, because I haven't found the depictions to be totally accurate. Color is very subjective, I know, so please take my interpretations for whatever they may (or may not!) be worth. I would describe Stamina as medium depth, neutral-cool red; not quite as intensely blue as TLB's Bawse Lady, but definitely not warm. Sizzlin' is the same shade only deeper/darker, and Untamable is the neutral-warm answer to Stamina. Not orangey, just not cool-toned. All of these shades are handy depending upon what you're trying to match, and they're all beautiful! 😍

Beautiful color and great hold. Make sure you let it dry completely before eating or drinking anything. The texture is fine, with minimal lip drying. Holds up well to eating, drinking, and kissing.

Beautiful color and this really stays on and doesn’t dry out your lips like most mattes. Kiss, water and meal proof!!!!! Better than the more expensive brands and I’ve tried them al!!!

Do note that the type I bought was not shipped by Amazon. There was a sticker on it to prevent it from being tampered and I guess show it was not used before, but i feel like the lipstick opened too easily, so I’m a bit wary it may have been used before even though it is listed as “New.” But it was half the price compared to the other shades, so you get what you paid for. I honestly did not even get this for the lower price, I genuinely like this shade. Products i have bought before have had similar stickers but were way more difficult to open to the point that you have to peel the sticker off, and I felt more reassured that way. The product itself is fine and in perfect condition. I just won’t be putting the applicator on my lips to salvage some hygiene lol.

I don’t wear lipstick often but this one has changed that! I have three colors. I most recently got Undress’d and Flaunt It when looking for a nude/every day color. I love how it feels, I love how it looks, and it stays on even through dinner. It almost acts a little like a lip stain with how well it stays. It applies really nicely too. I don’t always need a liner. This is a nice, matte lipstick. I also have Push’d Up which is an excellent color for going out. Images show swatches of different shades and different lighting.

This NYX matte liquid lipstick is exactly what I was looking for. Its smooth application does not feel dry or sticky and lasts all day. A little goes a long way and less applications means a lasting product making it well worth the price. The shade is a lovely brick red which is bright but not overwhelming on my olive skin tone. The only thing negative I'd have to say about this product is that it's difficult to remove; but is that even an issue if you want a color to last you the whole party and be able to kiss without transfer?

Definitivamente es mi marca favorita de labiales, no me resecan las labios , no deja plastas de pintura , no se cae a pedazos el color, duran muchísimo. Tengo ya casi todos los colores

Topissime acheter foncer!!! Il est extra pas de transfert et super doux ne desseche pas les lèvres

Saw this i. Tiktok but was more expensive so checked on here and got for much cheaper. It's a lovely colour of pink and lasts a while.

Me encantó el color, lo volveré a comprar Dura mucho y no se siente incómodo como otros labiales mate

Fabulous pink...not for the shy + retiring!!
