Most matte lip products trade comfort for staying power, leaving lips feeling tight and looking flat. NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream delivers pigment-rich, shine-free colour in a plush, whipped texture that sets to a velvety finish while remaining comfortable enough for everyday wear.

A blend of isohexadecane and dimethicone oils creates a silky base that helps pigment glide on evenly and resist patchiness. Beeswax works with glyceryl behenate derivatives to cushion and protect the lips, while silica and methyl methacrylate crosspolymer add soft-focus diffusion and a smoother-looking surface. Carefully balanced powders help colour stay put without a heavy, sticky film.

The formula applies as a lightweight cream that feels whipped rather than thick, then settles into a smooth, velvety matte. It is designed to feel flexible on the lips, helping to reduce the look of flaking or cracking as you move and speak. Expect soft-matte colour that remains comfortable through the day with minimal touch-ups.

Use the applicator to trace your natural lip shape, then sweep colour across the centre of the lips and press together. Allow a few moments for the cream to settle before adding a second layer if you prefer more intensity. For a softer, diffused look, blend the edges gently with a fingertip or brush.

High pigment concentration delivers opaque coverage in one stroke.Oil-in-matte technology balances bold colour with a cushioned feel.Soft-focus blurring agents minimise the look of lip lines.Lightweight esters keep the formula flexible for hours.

For extra definition and extended wear, pair with a NYX Professional Makeup lip liner before applying the cream. You can also tap a small amount over a hydrating balm for a more diffused, soft-stain effect that still benefits from the formula’s velvety finish.

A whipped, soft-matte lip cream that delivers rich, velvety colour while keeping lips cushioned, flexible and comfortably shine-free.

• Step 1. Start with smooth, lightly exfoliated lips and, if desired, apply a thin layer of balm, blotting away any excess.
• Step 2. Use the tip of the applicator to outline your natural lip shape with short, controlled strokes.
• Step 3. Sweep the flat side of the applicator across the lips to fill in, ensuring an even layer of cream.
• Step 4. Press lips together gently and allow the formula to settle for a few seconds without rubbing.
• Step 5. For more intensity, apply a second thin layer, focusing on the centre of the lips and blending outward.
• Step 6. For a softer effect, lightly blur the edges with a fingertip or a small lip brush before the formula fully sets.

Pro Tips

• Trace just inside your natural lip line with a coordinating lip pencil to help prevent feathering and extend wear.
• Apply in thin layers rather than one thick coat to maintain comfort and reduce the risk of cracking.
• For a modern diffused look, dot the cream onto the centre of the lips and tap outwards with a fingertip.
• If lips are very dry, use a nourishing balm 10–15 minutes beforehand, then blot well so the cream adheres evenly.
