Editor's Notes
NYX Butter Gloss delivers sheer-to-medium color in a creamy formula that feels more like a balm than a traditional gloss. The texture glides on smoothly without the tacky finish that makes hair stick to your lips, and the range of shades spans from barely-there nudes to deeper berry tones that work across different skin tones and occasions.
This is the gloss for people who find most lip products either too drying or too slippery. It sits comfortably in that middle ground where you get visible shine and a hint of color without constant reapplication anxiety. The tube is small enough for any pocket or clutch, and the doe-foot applicator makes touch-ups straightforward.
The tradeoff is longevity. You'll get a few hours of wear with light eating and drinking, but it won't survive a full meal the way a stain or long-wear liquid lipstick would. It's best suited for low-stakes days when you want your lips to look intentionally done but not high-maintenance.
