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.

  • I can't rave enough about the NYX Nude Beige Lip Liner! It's the perfect pink nude shade I've ever found, striking an ideal balance that complements any look. Its affordability is just the cherry on top. I've purchased about 20 of these since I discovered them – no joke! It's become a staple in my makeup routine. The formula is smooth, long-lasting, and the color payoff is fantastic. Perfect for everyday wear or pairing with a bolder lip for more dramatic looks. An absolute must-have

  • great products for their prices. Love their butter glosses, moisturising and give my lips a soft and shiny feel

  • LOVE this brand and their unique and honestly the own actual quality and natural ingredient based glitter toned makeup

  • I think NYX is on the more expensive side when it comes to drugstore makeup. However they have some really good quality products such as their foundation and color correctors. One product that ive tried that I absolutely hated was the translucent powder. It had horrible flashbacks and was so powdery and fine milled.

  • I love their fat oil lippies! They are thin, not sticky and have awesome colors!

  • i think that everyone knows NYX and it doesn't need explications.. many of its products are literally perfect and not expensive. one of my most statement piece is their lip oil, i can't live without it!

    Received a free product from NYX Cosmetics
  • Favourite liquid eyeliner! Really good precision and colour lasts all day.

  • Super affordable and great quality! I use the clear brow gel and the matte setting spay and I prefer their formula over more expensive versions. The brow gel doesn’t peel/pill and the setting spray lasts all day.

  • One of my favourite beauty brands - almost everything I've tried from NYX has been long-lasting and great quality. Some of my favorites - their epic ink liner, the recently released lip oils, and their classic butter lipsticks! 10/10 would recommend!

  • cheap and good quality products

  • NYX Matte Lip Gloss is my all-time favorite, especially in the shades Abu Dhabi and London. I've tried many other matte lipsticks, but they were all cakey and sticky. NYX is next level with a smooth, non-sticky formula that feels great on the lips. Plus, the price point is fantastic for the quality. The gloss is long-lasting and stays put throughout the day. I highly recommend NYX Matte Lip Gloss to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality matte lip product.

  • Nyx has many great products, their lip butter glosses are inexpensive, looks great on the lips and glides on like butter. I love their brow pencil, better than some high end ones.

  • I really enjoy the products. This brand meets expectations and is affordable. I haven't seen much advertisements for them in a while, so admittedly it's been a while since I got anything from them. Hoping to try more soon.

  • I love all products there’s a wide variety of options as well

  • Really great budget make up line. I have used their primer, eyeliner and liquid lipsticks. I stopped using the eyeliner because I found the product leaked but that was a while ago so they may have made improvements. That said, the products themselves are great and I feel that the smaller niggles are acceptable given the low price point

  • Nyx makeup brand as a whole has had so many major improvements over the last 10 ish years. I use their foundation, mascaras, lip glosses/lipstick, setting spray, primer etc. I would recommend NYX to anyone who doesn’t want to spend a ton on makeup but wants to get some good staple products.

  • Great quality, amazing products. Absolutely love this brand!

  • One of my favourite drugstore brands. I love the butter glosses, affordable and travel friendly. The eyeshadows are great and just any lip products.

  • I choose NYX very often because they are cruelty free and I love the variety of lipsticks. I just wished they’d be more long lasting.
