Reviews mention

  • Highly pigmented eyeliners longevity
  • Smooth, non-sticky lip formulas
  • Wide, trend-forward shade range
  • Reliable, long-lasting setting sprays
  • Occasionally under-pigmented eyeshadows
  • Inconsistent shade accuracy labeling
  • Sticky, tingly lip oils
  • Pencils drying out prematurely

NYX Cosmetics earns largely positive reviews as a reliable, high-pigment drugstore brand that works—especially for eyeliners (Epic Ink/Epic Wear) and lip products like Butter Gloss, Soft Matte Lip Creams, and Fat Oil. Reviews also flag inconsistency: certain shades lack payoff, some lip oils feel sticky or tingle intensely, a few pencils dry out, eyeshadows can underperform, and a caramel-brown sugar body mist’s scent fades quickly.

  • Este labial de NYX tiene un efecto voluminizador ligero y deja un brillo hermoso en los labios. Es cómodo, no pegajoso, y da un toque jugoso perfecto para el día a día. ¡Además, tiene buena duración y un color precioso! 💛☁️

  • This palette is super pigmented and blends easily—perfect for both beginners and pros. It has a great mix of mattes and shimmers that work for everyday or bold looks. Affordable, fun, and totally worth it! 🎨💄✨

  • NYX is a drugstore brand that is really going a great job right now. They’re making fun innovative products that keep up with trends but also deliver. I love the buttermelt series best of all. The highlighter is so stunning and I will eventually buy every color.

  • I used to only buy Nyx when it came to lipsticks/glosses/butters, but I feel like the quality isn’t the same? Idk I just tried the Fat Oil lip drip & it left a weird tingling on my lips & it’s a bit stickier than I expected an oil to be. Also $9 for a tiny bottle seems a bit much.

  • I can always rely on this drug store brand for all my needs because their products are of good quality, accessible and very affordable.

  • I am reviewing the NYX Bear WITH ME CONCEALER. First of all I love NYX as a brand , I love their make up, fair prices and good reviews. The concealer is beautiful , it’s a serum concealer which means it’s actually got some skin care in the product too, which I love. I found my shade straight away and it was a perfect match. I apply it with my fingers and it covers dark circles under the eyes and blemishes. It is creamy , non creasing and a light weight feel. I paid £11.50 for it which is a great price for this concealer. It’s my latest favourite purchase. I recommend this 100%. My new favourite concealer, cute packaging , nice pump and brilliant consistency of serum/ concealer ✨✨🤩

  • I cannot express how much i love this gloss. Amazing smell, wide shade range, comfortable, non-sticky finish, hydrating and long-lasting. Most of the times i wear it someone will ask me what do i have on my lips. I pair it with another Nyx lip liner; match made in heaven!

  • Probably the drugstore makeup brand I buy the most from - I own a couple of eyeliners, jumbo crayons, liquid lipsticks, and lip oil and I'm obsessed with all of them. The lip products don't stay on for long, but you get what you pay for - I would say it's worth the money. I like their eyeliners, the epic ones stay on for a long time and the vivid brights collection is very cute for artsy/ fun looks. Overall affordable reasonable products, I definitely recommend their lippies and liners!

  • I am a huge fan of NYX Cosmetics! I have bought so many of their Epic Ink Eyeliner markers! I love the pigmentation as well as how smooth it goes on! I always have extra on hand because I can't live without it! I love the affordability of it for such a great quality product. I have also used their Fat Lip oil and I really like the gloss that it gives but I don't feel super hydrated after, it feels more like a lip gloss than a lip oil.

  • One of the best affordable brands at the drugstore! There can’t stop won’t stop setting powder IS GOLD! it’s all I use for a perfect, smooth creaseless under eye! It’s sooo good! Everything they have is soooo good!!!

  • Oh I love this one su much! I’m buying this gel over and over again. It’s super affordable, really easy to use, gives your brow’s laminating effect 🚀

  • NYX is a very affordable brand and offers a great value for their products. Their butter gloss comes in a variety of shades and stays on for hours. I keep two in my purse at all times!

  • Really love the variety of products Nyx offers and how easy it is to find in almost every drugstore near me. Their lip pencils are amazing and I enjoy the fun color options the brand offers.

  • Nyx gives me mixed signals,Some Products are good and some are just ok-ish. I’ve been using its makeup fixer that’s a 10/10 and is multi-tasking you can use it as a primer too.

  • NYX is a great brand. They have very affordable products and some are even comparable to expensive high end products. They have some products that are just amazing and only few misses for me so far.. Overall they are definitely better than average at a great price point. I love this sunscreen. It works well under makeup and helps blur your pores. The packaging is adorable! Makes me long for summer!

  • I usually love NYX products so my rating isn’t on the company as a whole just based on this one product. I bought the Powder Puff Lippie in the shade Squad Goals which is supposed to be a nude color but it is more of a Pink berry color, the formula is nice but they completely missed the mark on this one. What is so annoying to me is they have a picture on the package with a model wearing “the shade” but it is so far off from what is portrayed. I also looked at other reviews on this and it seems to be a problem that has been going on for years now which is very disappointing, you would think the company would fix this problem by now.

  • I like the foundation and bb cream as well as the eyeliner. Affordable brand that holds up to the expensive ones

  • The Nyx butter gloss is one of my all time favorite glosses to use!

  • I don’t think that I’ve ever used any other products that I didn’t like. I just got the fat oil lip drip and I love it!

  • I am obsessed with this lip gloss. This gloss gives a glossy and shiny lip finish.
