NYX Professional Makeup

This is my favorite highlighter. I just use it on the bridge of my nose and my cupid's bow, sometimes on my cheekbones. I didn't buy the right color at first (can't remember which one it was) and it looked like I was sparkling in the sun - not in a cute way. Bought it again in Crystal Glare and it was seriously perfect. The color is super subtle and just slightly golden. Doesn't bother my skin.

Had high expectations for this one, but it disappoints. Doesn't last all day and definitely migrates. Doesn't get along with my sunscreen.

This may just be perfect! I have used Nyx glosses before, and was very frustrated when I couldn’t find a clear one anymore. I’m using long-last lipsticks, currently the Maybelline Matte Ink, and many formulas dissolve them, making them transfer and disappear. Most successful had been the stick topcoats from Maybelline’s Superstay 24 and Cover Girl’s Outlast, although they didn’t last long. On a different part of the price spectrum, City Lips didn’t work, and MAC’s Lipglass was a pain to use and very tacky. Along comes Nyx Lingerie clear gloss. It’s shiny but not over the top, lasts several hours, doesn’t dissolve what’s underneath it, and is—amazingly!—moisturizing. So happy to have this!

I was really looking forward to trying this for a long time, but my hopes were unfortunately dashed.
Siicone based primers generally work quite well for me, and i did try it under numerous foubdations with a similar result every time: exaggerated pores i never knew i had, crusty looking texture (my skin is very good), clung to any dry skin around my nose, mouth and chin.
A little summary below:

Pros:
- squeeze tube is convenient
- readily available
- ok priced
- smooth silicone texture

Cons:
- clung to any dry skin
- did not mattify
- exaerated pores
- caused blackheads

Such a bummer

Ohh no this product was trash!! I kept seeing it as an ABH dupe but that’s not true, this stuff is barely pigmented and goes on patchy. I’m upset I spent like $8 just to have to throw it out because my brows were looking crazy with this stuff, I ended up having to use other brow products to make it look half decent. The texture is dry and crumbly so when you try to pick up more pigment you actually end up with clumps on your brush. I’m back to my L’Oréal pomade which works much better and is a lot more pigmented.
