What Colour Is NYX Velvet Matte Lipstick Volcano?
Volcano is a rich red lipstick shade designed to create a noticeable, statement lip colour. Its velvety matte finish gives the colour a softer appearance than a glossy red lipstick while still allowing the shade to stand out.
The finished colour can vary slightly depending on your natural lip pigmentation, lighting and the amount applied.
What Is a Velvet Matte Lipstick?
A velvet matte lipstick is designed to create a smooth, soft-focus appearance without a high-shine finish.
Unlike a traditional glossy lipstick, NYX Velvet Matte Lipstick Volcano provides a more muted, non-reflective look. Its creamy bullet formula also differs from liquid matte lipsticks, which are typically applied wet and allowed to dry down.
How to Apply NYX Velvet Matte Lipstick Volcano
- Prepare your lips: Start with clean lips and gently remove any dry, flaky skin.
- Define the edges: Use a complementary red lip liner if you want a more precise outline.
- Apply the lipstick: Glide Volcano across your lips, starting at the centre and working towards the corners.
- Build the colour: Apply another light layer where needed for an even finish.
- Perfect the shape: Use a lip brush for extra precision around the cupid's bow.
- Touch up: Reapply as necessary, particularly after eating or drinking.
How to Wear NYX Volcano Red Lipstick
A bold red lipstick can be styled with a variety of makeup looks.
- Classic red lips: Pair Volcano with black eyeliner and neutral eyeshadow.
- Evening makeup: Combine with defined lashes and a softly contoured complexion.
- Minimal makeup: Keep the rest of your makeup simple and let the lipstick provide the main colour.
- Defined lip look: Use a matching red lip liner to create a sharper outline.
NYX Velvet Matte Lipstick vs Liquid Matte Lipstick
Both types of lipstick create a matte appearance, but they differ in application and texture.
- Velvet Matte Lipstick: A traditional creamy lipstick bullet that glides directly onto the lips and leaves a soft matte finish.
- Liquid Matte Lipstick: Usually applied with a wand and designed to set after application.
Volcano is a useful option if you prefer the convenience and familiar feel of a traditional lipstick rather than a liquid formula.
Why Choose NYX Velvet Matte Lipstick Volcano?
Volcano combines a statement red shade with the smooth application of the original NYX Velvet Matte Lipstick formula. It is suitable for anyone who wants noticeable lip colour without a glossy finish.
It may also appeal to customers trying to replace an older favourite from the NYX Professional Makeup collection.
