Morocco is the first of the soft matte lip creams from NYX that I've tried, and it has a lot to recommend it! The pigmentation is insane, it applies smoothly, and really does dry down to a matte finish.
I used the wand to apply it to my bottom lip and then used my finger to smooth it out and fill in the edges. I probably would have benefited from using a lip brush along the edges, as I can see some areas that should have been filled out a bit more. On the plus side, I experienced no bleeding and minimal transfer once the lip cream dried down.

I'd say by the second hour of wear my lips were starting to fill a little dry, but nothing super uncomfortable. I ate breakfast and sipped on iced coffee all morning and still felt like my lips looked good, but by the fourth hour there was enough fading that removal or a touch up was warranted. The biggest downside I could tell was that fading is more from the edges and the inner lip as opposed to uniform, so you could end up looking rather strange with such a bold color.

And oh, the color. What a gorgeous tomato red! So vibrant and crisp, I like it so much that I even wore it to work with no self-consciousness.
At less than $6 and with 22 colors to chose from, definitely worth checking out. I got mine from Ulta during a 40% off sale, so even better :-)

It looks quite bright in the arm swatches but in the last picture it looks like it could be a fall shade as well!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think I could wear this into fall as well. Such a pretty color!
