First off, the shade 'Too Blessed' is absolutely gorgeous. On my skin tone, it pulls as this beautiful, soft mauvey-nude that's not too light and not too dark. It's one of those shades that just makes your lips look naturally fuller and more defined without being overly noticeable. I've found it to be incredibly versatile, working well with so many different lipsticks and glosses, or even just worn on its own for a subtle, polished look. It really hits that sweet spot if you’re looking for a nude that has a bit of warmth but isn't too brown.
The application is a dream. These NYX Line Loud lip pencils are incredibly creamy and glide on so smoothly without any tugging or skipping. You know how some lip liners can feel a bit dry and draggy? Not this one. It feels comfortable on the lips, almost like a balm, which is a huge plus for me because I hate that cracked-lip liner feeling. The precision tip also makes it super easy to define your lip shape, whether you're over-lining slightly for a plumper effect or just staying within your natural lip line.
Now, for the big question: longevity. I was really impressed! This lip liner holds up remarkably well throughout the day. I've worn it through coffees, snacks, and hours of talking, and it barely budged. It definitely helps to extend the wear of whatever lipstick or gloss I pair it with, preventing feathering and keeping everything in place. Even when my lipstick fades, 'Too Blessed' leaves a lovely stain that keeps my lips looking put-together. It’s that kind of reliable liner you can trust for a full day out.
I've also played around with a few other shades in the NYX Line Loud collection. While 'Too Blessed' is a standout, it's worth noting that the range includes other beautiful options like 'Sassy,' 'Ambition Statement,' 'Magic Maker,' and 'Global Citizen,' offering a spectrum from light to deeper nude tones. Seeing all six NYX Line Loud lip pencils displayed, you can truly appreciate the variety of brown and nude shades available. But if you're starting somewhere, 'Too Blessed' is a fantastic pick.
One of my favorite ways to wear 'Too Blessed' is to line and lightly fill in my entire lip, then top it with a clear or slightly tinted plumping gloss. It creates this effortlessly chic, voluminous lip look that's perfect for any occasion. For a more intense look, it pairs beautifully under a matte liquid lipstick in a similar nude shade, adding an extra layer of definition and staying power.
Considering the price point, these NYX Line Loud lip liners are an absolute steal. You get fantastic quality, impressive wear, and a comfortable formula that rivals much more expensive brands. If you're on the fence about trying 'Too Blessed,' I highly recommend giving it a go. It's quickly become a staple in my makeup routine, and I have a feeling it might become one of yours too!
