Is NYC a Good Lipstick?
NYC, or New York Color, is a cosmetic brand that offers lipstick in a variety of colors and formulas. Depending on the look you want to achieve, use NYC Ultra Shine for glossy, attention-grabbing lips, or use NYC Expert Last lip color for long-lasting color that won’t fade. You can find your perfect lipstick shade in NYC’s wide selection of colors, which spans from bright orange to deep purple.
NYC lipsticks come in twist-up dispensers, making them easy to carry and reapply as needed. If you're on a budget, NYC lipstick's price is often a better option than other brands.
How Long Does NYC Lipstick Last?
The length of time any lipstick lasts depends on the formula you’ve chosen and your activity level. Many NYC lipsticks last for several hours before reapplication. Some lipstick formulas don’t hold up as well as others, so if you’re looking for a long-lasting option, you might want to try NYC Expert Last Matte Me Crazy lip color.
If you want to avoid reapplying lipstick frequently, long-lasting lipsticks should be your go-to. They may contain ingredients that help the color absorb into the lips and remain in place, like a lip stain. Matte colors tend to be drier, which may help them stay in place longer compared to high-shine or cream lipsticks. Satin, a combination of matte and cream lipstick formulas, may also last longer due to its texture. You may even be able to extend the life of your lipstick by using a lip liner on the lips first.
How to Apply NYC Lipstick
To apply NYC lipstick, start by applying a matching lip liner in a similar color or texture to define the shape of your lips and help prevent the color from bleeding. Apply your lipstick to the bottom lip, working from the inside out. Instead of swiping the shade across the lip, you could dab it on for a more concentrated application. Next, press your lips together so that the bottom lip transfers color to the top lip. Using a lip brush or the lipstick itself, retouch the upper lip within the lip liner’s defined borders for a polished appearance.
