Let’s face it, no look is complete without some color on your lips. Whether you want to go bold with a red or vampy lip or more subtle, a lippie pulls the entire look together. As the late and great Elizabeth Taylor once said, “Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.” But in this case, just pop on some lipstick and start remembering you’re a fierce and confident person who can rock any lippie.
And that’s the thing; there are so many lip products out there, it can get overwhelming to choose from. Thanks to Amazon, though, we may have found the perfect everyday lipstick (and it’s only $6!)

The NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Soft Matte Lip Cream is a lightweight and pigmented lip product that gives your lips a soft matte look. Both creamy and lightweight, this non-drying lipstick comes in a plethora of shades, which is perfect for people on the hunt for their “perfect” nude lip color. (And shoppers say the shade Cannes is a must!)
Per the brand, there’s no special way to go about applying this lippie. You swipe it on from the applicator or use a brush, whichever you swear by when doing your everyday makeup look.
With nearly 39,000 reviews at 4.3 stars, Amazon shoppers adore this lip product for so many reasons, so much so that it’s become so many of their holy grails. One shopper said they found the “PERFECT nude color for dark skin” from this line, saying, “This is by far the PERFECT nude lip color for my complexion. I wear it daily. Not too thick and not too watery. I wear mine with a sheer lip gloss.”
Another shopper added that they’re “definitely going to buy more,” saying, “It definitely lasts longer than your average lipstick, and I will 100% be buying more colors as time goes on.”
“OK, FIRST, I’m almost 70. Have very pale skin, salt and pepper short hair and the only colors I tend to wear around my face are either purple or black. I LIVE in black or purple turtlenecks and black jeans in the winter,” another shopper said. “It’s dramatic, without being Goth (NOTHING WRONG WITH GOTH! LOVE THE LOOK, but not really ME)… LOVE THE TEXTURE, THE LONGEVITY AND THE HANDY APPLYING WAND!”
And one shopper said that the Cannes lip shade is a must if you like certain, iconic MAC lipsticks. “Beautiful lip color! NYX has truly outdone themselves with these matte lip creams and especially this particular shade…it’s just gorgeous! It is that deep dusty mauve/plum shade that is definitely one of the more on point lip colors for this past year or so. If you are drawn to MAC’s Velvet Teddy, Twig, Brave, Mehr, etc…then you are going to love this,” they said.
Along with local retailers and Amazon, this lipstick is available at Wal-Mart and the NYX website.
