NYX Cosmetics reviews and discussion

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.

  • Overall the best affordable makeup! I constantly use NYX. If your into the art of makeup NYX definitely has you!💋

  • I'm a makeup artist and I absolutely love all of NYX products . My favorite is the Duey Finish setting spray .

  • For an Urban Decay setting spray dupe, get the Nyx spray! It works great & it's a fraction of the cost. So far of the products I've tried, the setting spray has been my favorite, but I have heard the lip products are great.

  • I like this brand! It is similar to elf. Cheap but good quality. I like the range of colors and consistency of the makeup.

  • I have purchased many different lip products from NYX, like their butter glosses and matte lipsticks. The butter gloss is a great formula, and I love the range of colors they offer. The matte products left my lips feeling really dry.

  • I really like their lipsticks. I find them to be great quality and long-lasting.

  • My favorite lip liner is from NYX. One of the best drugstore makeup brands. Will forever go back for the lip cosmetics.

  • Great drugstore makeup - wide range of color encourages not only grooming, but artistry.

  • I've used their lipstick and I loved it. They are pigmented and waterproof.

  • NYX is a great affordable makeup brand. I am someone who doesn't do their makeup daily and only will purchase for special events so NYX is a great brand for me. The quality is good and they have a ton of products and different colors and consistencies which are fun. Its easy to buy fun or a few time uses without breaking the bank.

  • I am an avid NYX user. I'm particularly tied to the NYX Butter Glosses & the Jumbo Crayons. While some of their other products don't live up to the performance expectations I had in mind. These two products are tried and true.

  • Great inexpensive cosmetics. I love the eyeliner and primers

  • The Butter Glosses are great lip glosses that are super cute without breaking the bank. They come in so many colors, so it makes it easy to find your go to shade or try something new!

  • Good but not great. Some products like their mascara are things that I swear by, but their liners and powders are not great.

  • NYX is a perfect example of price vs. quality. I've had many makeup items from NYX and they did not disappoint. My absolute loves are eyeliners and lip liners. The shade range is beautiful: I have been wanting bright eyeliners forever and now I finally have some, thanks to NYX!
