NYX Flawless High Voltage Lipstick Review
Ahh we’ve finally come to the end of the High Voltage road. I think. This is the last shade left in my stash (expect a roundup soon!) but I’m definitely considering grabbing one or two more. I just really like the formula! There’s nothing like a creamy lipstick that wears nicely and doesn’t break the bank.
Flawless is a cool pale ash beige with a slight hint of pink, sweet candy like scent and shiny satin finish. The color reminds me a lot of Stone but it’s lighter and a tinge more pink. While Flawless looks super pale I assure you it’s very much wearable–even for brown skin. Thanks to the ultra creamy formula, Flawless sort of melts into the lips which allows it to adjust to your natural lip color a bit without emphasizing flakes much or settling into lip lines.
Flawless applies smoothly and evenly with a lightweight creamy emollient texture that’s lightly hydrating. It doesn’t last all that long–around 2-3 hours–but it still makes for a great nude for a variety of complexions. I think it’ll work best for fair to medium skin tones but WOC can definitely pull it off too. Just line your lips with a nice brown liner and bam! Instant sexy nude lips!
If you’ve been digging that “griege” nude lip trend Flawless (as well as Stone) is an excellent choice. You can find it at Ulta for about $6.
This post just reminded me of how long the NYX line was at imats smh. I wanted to grab some of these so bad but I have another opportunity in a few weeks at The MAkeup Show Yayy! I’ll be looking out for your roundup because I know you’re just gonna tempt me with more lol
Lol I’m so jealous you went to IMATS and now you’re going to The Makeup Show! I need to plan a trip to both next year. Hopefully I can finally drag one of my friends with me. It seems like so much fun! I think you’ll really like these lipsticks though. They’re pretty nice minus the packaging
Glad you can pull this one off, but I think this would give me concealer lips! I usually have problems with nude lipsticks washing me out
What kind of nudes do you like?
Usually MLBB shades, like brownish pinks or brownish plums work best on me as nude colors. I find a lot of light nude browns wash me out, kind of make me look pale and tired.
Have you tried Milani Matte Naked? I think you may like that one. It’s one of my favorite nudes
Oooh, I googled it, and the swatches look very promising!!! A medium brownish pink. I have some CVS beauty reward dollars that are burning a hole in my wallet, now I know what to do with them. Thanks for the tip, will definitely check it out!
Hopefully that one works out better for you!
