If I don’t start swatching at a certain time, I’m doomed because I start to lose light around 4 and the sun starts to set like around 4:30 and by 5 it’s completely dark out. Also this time of year is ROUGH with daylight savings time being gone. So I took these back to back so you’ll see where the skin around my lips were a little stained from the previous shades. But for my lighter complected beauties, there’s a ton of pretty lighter shades for you in this collection :) And you’ll see why when you see the swatches of the lighter shades on my lips…lol. I love a good matte but I’m mostly the deeper shade of matte kind of girl-reds, berries, deep pinks, magentas, eggplants, etc. ALL THE MATTES.īut then after I went through each shade I realized that not every shade needs to be a matte-at least not for me. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an expansive collection of mattes all at one time like this before! NYX Cosmetics sent over the entire lineup of their Matte Lipstick range and seriously, SO MANY MATTES.
