NYX Professional Makeup Highlight & Contour Cream Pro Palette

This multi-use palette comes with eight shades for contouring, highlighting, bronzing, brightening, shading, and sculpting. Though it’s not the longest-lasting, we like that the powder offers buildable pigment and blends beautifully on its own or over cream makeup. The pans are also removable and refillable, so you can mix and match with singles.

NYX Professional Makeup Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Mattifying Powder

Marie is a fan of Can’t Stop Won’t Stop, and it’s easy to see the appeal. This mattifying pressed powder addresses uneven texture while instantly soaking up oil and grease from your T-zone and anywhere else you want to reduce shine. The super-fine formula promises not to dry out your skin and leaves you with a smooth, non-cakey finish.

NYX Professional Makeup Sweet Cheeks Soft Cheek Tint

Sweet Cheeks is one of our favorite drugstore cream blushes. A little of the highly pigmented mousse goes a long way, so it’s easy to overdo it. But if you start with just a dot or two, you’ll see how beautifully it blends into a soft flush of color.

NYX Professional Makeup Tame & Frame Tinted Eyebrow Pomade

A budget-friendly product to rival the famous Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow, this eyebrow pomade deposits natural-looking color right where you need it while helping shape your arches. The waxy formula goes on smooth and won’t clump within your hairs, plus it’s waterproof and smudge-resistant for several hours.

NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Multitasking Spray

NYX Worth The Hype Mascara

 

Marie stands behind this volumizing mascara, and we’re here for it. The jet-black formula adds thickness and length, and the tapered brush allows you to access your tiniest, finest upper and lower lashes. It’s not waterproof, but unlike many mascaras, it’s conveniently buildable and comes off without a fuss.

Shades: Black | Waterproof: No | Byrdie Clean: No

NYX Professional Makeup Shine Loud Vegan High Shine Long-Lasting Liquid Lip Color

 

NYX’s Shine Loud Lip Color went viral on TikTok and now has a well-deserved loyal following. It was an all-around hit with our in-house testers, who raved about the high color payoff, comfortable wear, and long-lasting pigment. She also liked the dual-ended design, which has matte color with a doe-foot applicator on one side and a clear gloss with a small brush on the other.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream

For matte lip loyalists, we recommend NYX’s Soft Matte Cream. This wallet-friendly product has a light mousse-like texture that spreads like silk and leaves you with a supremely velvety finish. As with most other matte lipsticks, you have to commit to a dry feel, but the highly pigmented colors last all day without smudging or transferring.
