NYX New Era, Neat Nude, Go Rogue Liquid Suede Metallic Mattes

New Era

NYX New Era Liquid Suede Metallic Matte ($7.50 for 0.13 fl. oz.) is a dark bronze with warm undertones with a metallic sheen. It had rich pigmentation that covered the lips with smooth, even color coverage. The texture was thin, a little more emollient and “wet” in feel compared to other shades in the range, though still more of a mousse consistency than a liquid. There was a small amount of product that sat in my deeper lip lines as it dried down. It wore well for five and a half hours on me and was slightly drying over time.

The formula is supposed to be “plush and vibrant” with a “pigment-rich” liquid consistency and an “ultra-metallic” finish. The majority of the shades were semi-opaque to opaque in color coverage with the consistency being fairly mousse-like, so the product felt lightweight and spread well but didn’t run or get on the teeth easily. Some shades were more metallic from the get-go while others seemed to get more metallic after rubbing or patting lips slightly. They dried down to a transfer-proof finish but felt ever-so-slightly tacky at times. Based on the shades I’ve tested for wear, they are lasting between five and seven hours and are lightly drying. Between the metallic finish and the dry down, sometimes they seemed to emphasize lip lines and lip texture.

Go Rogue

NYX Go Rogue Liquid Suede Metallic Matte ($7.50 for 0.13 fl. oz.) is a deep black with cool undertones and a pearly sheen. It had nearly opaque color coverage that applied evenly on the lips and dried down with minimal settling in my lip lines. The consistency was airy, lightweight, and more mousse-like than liquid, as it didn’t pool or run, but it still spread easily across my lips. It wore well for five and a half hours and was a touch drying overall.
