NYX LONG LIP PENCIL 4 SHADES-REVIEW & SWATCHES

NYX long lip pencil gives luscious colour of a lipstick and the precision of a lip liner, there are over 20 shades to choose from. I  bought 4 shades-Mauve, Coffee,Mahogany & Nutmeg from www.cherryculture.com.

All four lipliners are creamy matte (yet hold firm in summers), the shades are well pigmented.I chose shades which would go well with my existing lipstick collection.You can also wear these all over your lip as a matte lipstick or top of with a gloss.

Though Mahogany & Nutmeg look very similar in the pictures, Mahogany tilts more towards more burgundy undertones & Nutmeg is more of a chocolate brown shade.The staying power is okay, though if you are looking for transfer resistant lip liners then you should look at other products.

These cost $ 2 a piece on Cherryculture and usually with some discount/ sale they work out close to $ 1.5. You really can't beat that price for a lipliner. In India these retail for Rs 250 /- . You can check out the swatches below
