Makeup lovers everywhere know that NYX Cosmetics is the place to go for high quality, highly pigmented products at a price even us collegiettes can afford. While I'm not obsessing over their Illuminating Sticks or using their Dewy Finish Setting Spray to lock in my makeup for the day, I instinctively reach into my makeup bag for my Lip Lingerie matte liquid lipstick.
One of my favorite shades (pictured here) is Bedtime Flirt, a cool, pinkish red tone that looks stunning on most skin tones. That's one of the best things about this collection, tbh. Along with the super creamy and long-wearing formula, there literally is a perfect shade of nude for everyone. And, if you're not really into the nude lip game, there are plenty of darker hues you can channel your inner '90s grunge girl with, like Confident, and Scandalous.
I love applying these with just my ring finger for a soft, faded-out tint look. They also work wonderfully straight from the tube as well, creating that beautifully plump pout that everyone and their mother are going nuts for. Pro tip: on their website, NYX offers a hand-picked lip-liner choice to go with each shade (they're coming for you, Kylie)!
You can find NYX Cosmetics' Lip Lingerie at most beauty stores and on their website for $7 each.
