NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss

The Butter Gloss is formulated specifically to avoid that heavy, tacky sensation. It feels more like a smooth, hydrating lip balm than a traditional sticky gloss, making it comfortable for all-day wear.

Yes, it layers beautifully. Because the formula is lightweight and buildable, you can apply it over a matte lipstick to add shine and dimension without disrupting the base color underneath.

The pigmentation is buildable. One swipe provides a sheer, soft wash of color, but you can layer it for a more opaque, vibrant look depending on your preference.

The texture is smooth and relatively thick, which helps it stay in place well. While you don't strictly need a liner, using one can help define your lip shape and ensure the edges stay crisp throughout the day.

Like most high-shine glosses, it will naturally fade after eating or drinking. You can expect to reapply every few hours to maintain that high-gloss finish and hydrated feel.
