Review on πŸ’„ Nyx Professional Makeup Extra Creamy Round Lipstick - Baby Pink: Soft Pink Pearl Perfection! by Jessica Young

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Circe! --Perfect if you are sporting a smoky DRAMA look! LOVE!

Pro:Circe is described as "light beige" on Amz, but I'd add that it's slightly warm (peachy undertones) and it's VERY muted. I have olive skin and I love Circe when I'm wearing very dramatic smoky makeup. Whether you wear natural or soft eye makeup, I think colors like Circe will wash you away. You need a strong look to balance Circe's "muted flesh color". I LOVE this shade! It reminds me a bit of MAC Cherish but a little lighter and more muted. Cons: (for me personally --- but I have a solution!) I personally hate very creamy lipsticks. They make me feel like I have a very big mouth! I used to like Matt, but now that I'm older Matt doesn't look that good on me IMHO. I prefer matte lipsticks (because I like the "feel") and apply lip gloss on top. Since Circe is so "creamy", in this case I apply it over NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams. Circe goes perfectly with Cairo (a very light beige with camel tones). Circe also pairs well with peachy shades, which I sometimes find a little too light (like NYX's matte lipstick in Buenos Aires). I love Buenos Aires, but when I'm not tanned, my olive skin might look too yellowish for such a vibrant peachy hue. Circe does a great job on Buenos Aires to soften it up a bit. This is a gorgeous light warm beige muted nude lip shade!

Pros
