NYX Round Lipstick in Indian Pink is a frosted pink-peach. NYX Round lipsticks are available in over 120 shades, and a cruelty free, paraben free, and hypoallergenic. I purchased Indian Pink at Ulta fir around $2.50 for 4 grams of product. NYX can be found in Ulta, select drugstores and other retails, as well as nyx.com, and Cherry Culture. These lipsticks are made in Taiwan.
Packaging is the same black twist up tube and plastic cap that I always rave about. The tube is recyclable, and for being so small, it features a tone of information about the product, including a full list of ingredients. NYX Round Lipstick's packaging is sturdy, sleek, and a breeze to store; let me go into more depth as to why. The cap snaps of firmly and the tube isn't more than 3 inches long, making them portable, pocket and purse friendly. The tube features NYX's logo, which is cute and girly, without being childish. The bottom of the tube is clear, with a bit of rubber the same color as the lipstick. Combine that with the size and clear labeling, and you have a very easy to store product.
The color of Indian Pink looks gorgeous in the tube and when swatched, but on the lips it's unflattering to say the least. Indian Pink is a peach that leans very pink with a super frosty finish that contains a good amount of gold shimmer that thankfully isn't too apparent. Oh, and also, it's sheer. Awkward. NYX Rounds are always kinda complex in the color department, but in the case of Indian Pink, the complexity of the color us it's downfall. It's like NYX tried too hard to make a unique peachy-pink. I'm sure they put in an honest effort, but they failed. Indian Pink wouldn't be quite so bad if it wasn't so sheer. To be fair, it is buildable, but the more layers you add, the frostier the finish becomes. There is just no way for me to make this lipstick look good.
Indian Pink doesn't apply very well either. It goes on smooth, but somehow ends up looking patchy on the lips. The texture is pretty slippery, causing it to wear poorly. I get 3 hours or so of wear from NYX Rounds, but I'm lucky if I get 1 1/2 hours of wear from Indian Pink. The slick texture of this lipstick causes it to slip around, even outside of the lip line. Not cute, you definitely need a lip liner, or layer this over a stain.
Even the slight sunscreen-y taste and smell of NYX Round Lipsticks is really amplified in Indian Pink, it smells obnoxious and chemically. Usually the scent of these lipsticks doesn't bother me, and I've never understood why people hate the scent of NYX Rounds, but now I understand.
I just cannot stand NYX's Round Lipstick in Indian Pink. It's so bad compared to the 6 other ones I have! Is this a bad tube, or a dud in the line? The color is kinda..bizarre, the wear is poor, and the sunscreen taste/scent is obnoxious and nearly nauseating. I'm really disappointed by Indian Pink. I certainly won't be repurchasing it, and I urge yinz all to skip it. I'm really glad I didn't pay full price for it. It's the low point of this lipstick range, in my opinion.

The lipstick looks good and is less glittery than I anticipated. However, it has poor staying power. It streaks and feathers. It accentuates the lines on my lips. While it's moisturizing, I can't see myself buying the product again.

This is the perfect lipstick for me for me summer sunkissed look. It complements bronzers, peach toned blushes.

At first I didn't like it, but I realized it looked amazing under the sun compared to indoor lighting.

I LOVE THIS SHADE! At first swipe, I was turned off by the frosty finish, but if you apply just the right amount, it looks amazing. The peachy color complements my medium tan skin very well, and brightens up my face. It goes on super creamy and has a pleasant smell to it.

I just don't like the packaging because I've had NYX lipstick cases break and the lippies tend to melt a little? Maybe it's just because I live in the tropics, or maybe the lipsticks are just too creamy, idk.

I really like Indian Pink though, and for the price, I think it's worth it.

I checked out the review for this lipstick on MUA right I after I purchased this online.Honestly I wasn't expecting much judging from the 3.6 lippy, but I was wrong!
I really really love this colour and lipstick! In fact I love all the lipstick I purchase in my recent NYX online order.
The quality is amazing, pigmented and glides on smoothly without looking patchy like some of my more higher end lipstick, namingly Lancome.
This colour is beautiful sheen nudie pink that doesn't wash out my complexion at all. Its very moisturising, suprisingly. Now I really want to get some NYX Matte lipstick!

I am OBSESSED with NYX Indian Pink lipstick color!


How do you even describe the color? it's pinky--orangey--with gold frost or is it apricotey--pinky peach with gold frost? It's maddeningly beautiful on my NC 30 complexion!


However, as much as I love the color....I dislike the application. It doesn't adhere on your lips, it's messy, feathers and bleeds.


I love the color so much I went on a lipstick hunt trying to find its dupe and I became obsessed with lipstick with this color--pinky--orangey--gold. I went on a hunt to find a better version of Nyx Indian Pink...something that stays, applies well and doesn't bleed.


I read that Chanel Montecarlo is close to Nyx Indian Pink, I actually went bought Chanel and nope...not even close. I went to Givenchy and bought a couple of coral lipstick...which I ended up loving but it is not Indian Pink! I went to Dior...and nope...nothing came close.


I went to Mac, thinking that CB96 would be close to Indian Pink and nope....too bright, too red orange.
So, FINALLY...I got something verrry close to Indian Pink. It's Mac's Ravishing paired with Milani Summer Baby lipgloss/ Mac Nymphette for a glossy version of Indian Pink. To get a more shimmery dupe, mix Mac's Ravishing + Rimmel's Coral Crush.
I never thought that I'd be so in love with a color that I'm on a mad hunt for a pricier dupe! LOL!

This is a nice medium orange lipstick with pink and gold undertones, it has a frosty finish but not as frosty as Jupiter. Like most round lipsticks it is really creamy and easy to apply. It stays on the lips for two to three hours. It probably looks best on medium tanned skintones.

This is completely orange on me which makes me look freakishly weird. I don't mind the formula too much, it goes on pretty smooth but it does wear off pretty quick. I'm a NC 45 if that helps any......

I hate this product as a lipstick. Why, the color drops off within seconds. Trust me, SECONDS. And it's too frosty for my liking on my lips. This works wonderfully as a cream blush though.

I have it depotted into a sample jar and this serves wonderfully as a cream blush for my pale-skinned friends and cilents. It will be a lovely coral-pink flush on your cheeks.

I wouldn't repurchase this, just because I don't think I will ever need it again. And it lasts really long as a cream blush.

Too bright. Too frosty. Too orange. Might get better results if applied thinly. -C4 with yellow undertones

I hate frosty glittery lipstick on me, it just doesn't look good. This is no exception. tastes bad too, and you even taste it without licking your lips. However, I tried it as a blush, and it looks great! you would expect this to be too shimmery for on the cheeks ( i really can't stand too glittery stuff on my cheeks) but this gives a nice golden glow, and the color is just perfect. This will look great with a tan, because of the golden glow. So i don't regret buying this ( where i live we can only get NYX online, so i couldn't really see the color before buying it, otherwise i wouldn't have gotten this lipstick). If i don't find a blush that is similar to this, but is an actual blush, i might repurchase.. suggestions on similar blushes are welcome;)

Bye, xx

This is a pretty peachy pink, but it does tend to have a frosty like shimmer to it, which can look weird in some lighting or throw me off a bit on how to match it with my matte looks. I have naturally pigmented lips already so when I added this - it gave my lips a more vibrant peachy frosty look. I haven't tested out lasting power just yet. I like this one a lot more than the other NYX lipsticks which all seem to be lacking. Avoid Circe!

I generally love NYX's round lipsticks. They're a great cheap thrill when I'm bored with my makeup.

I received this one in a swap, dubious because it's not really my style. Self-fullfilling prophecy. It's very goldy-pink. I feel like I should be wearing bronzer and carrying a purse dog (not that there's anything wrong with that). It looks ok, but too 'young' for me. I'll probably stick with the non-shimmery formulas. It's similiar to Milani Summer Baby, but I perfer Milani's.

It look like the shade of Nars orgasm blush on my lip and it's damn ugly! I like orgasm blush but i do not like it on my lip. A very peachy, coral pink, which is very unnatural and fake looking on me. One MUAers mention about the texture and i do agree with her. I also dislike the greasy texture of the round lipstick, more than not, i think they feel heavy on the lips too and heavily scented. Having some concern on the mineral oil ingredient in it, i have since toss it and will never repurchase.

Love love love this colour. Goes on smoothly, very pigmented. So pretty and I would love give this a 5 if it wasnt for the fact it wears off in horrible patches which is very noticeable when you have a shimmery colour like this. Trying to reapply it often doesnt work because it wont go on smoothly a second time. I also find the formula a little drying, which I am not sure if its NYX lipsticks in general or this one because I havnt tried any others. Very sad because everytime I go to wear this, I am put off by the fact its only gonna look good for a few hours tops.

I bought this product because I wanted something quick and cheap. MAC can put a hole in your pocket when your a college student and I just wanted to experiment with different shades. I bought this color because I was looking for a nice pink with my skin tone. I usually wear matte neutrals on my lips for a nice clean look, but now I want more of an "innocent" pink look. So far, it's good for the price. I'm not a big fan of sheer, but it does its job. I love the color and how easy it is to apply. My only complaint is that NYX lipsticks tend to wear off easily. So you have to keep on reapplying.

ok, well my view on the indian pink lipstick by NYX isn't all that great, i found the texture to be almost slimy and greasy. The colour is like a soft coral (orangey pink) which for me dosent look good, made me look a little bit trailer trash haha... that said, on someone with fairer skin than me i think it could be a great colour, i am an olive/ yellow under toned skin and i guess the 'nude' lip look just isnt going to work for me as i tried 'honey' and that was almost an exact match to my skin colour which made me look like i had no lips!. For the price $9 (nz) i guess its ok and a darker colour would work better for me then i could say i may buy this again. its average. also dosent last all that long either.
ill give it a 3 .. no less.. no more.

I love the way this color looks in all the swatches I've seen, but it might be a tad bit too coral on me. I can't pull it off during the fall/winter months because I'm a bit too pale, but I'll keep it around for next summer. Hopefully a nice tan is all I need to make this color a new fave.

It's a very flattering shade on me. A peachy pink with some shimmer. It does get into the lines of my lips so I make sure to wear some lip balm underneath and to apply it by dabbing it and that takes care of the problem. It's a nice shade for daily wear and great for people with warm tones.
