NYX's mask-proof Shine Loud High Shine Lip Color lasts 16 hours

• We tested the NYX Shine Loud High Shine Lip Color, which promises a transfer-proof 16-hour wear.
• We tested the lip color while eating, drinking, showering, and wearing a mask.
• After 16 hours of wear, the lip color had little to no transfer and a color payoff that didn't fade.

Following is a transcript of the video.

Nico Reyes: You've probably seen the Nyx Shine Loud High Shine lip color all over TikTok. It's basically a lip gloss-lip color combo that promises 16-hour, no-transfer wear. This whole no-budge, no-bleed, no-fade thing sounds a little too good to be true, especially for 16 hours, so we're gonna be putting it to the test. Actually, multiple tests, because I'm going to be eating, drinking, kissing my hand, and showering on top of wearing this lip color for the next 16 hours. These could be great for all of the mask wearing we're doing, so let me put this on, and we can start the timer. So, this is a two-step application process.

First you put on the lip color, and you have to wait 90 seconds for it to dry. Then you can go in and apply the lip gloss, which is actually really, really smooth and really nice feeling on the lips. The lip color does feel kind of sticky before the dry-down starts to happen. It's like you can't rub your lips together, because I'm pretty sure it'll, like, lift the color and move stuff around. I think the actual pigmentation is really, really good. Like, this is intense. It's so bright and vibrant. The gloss, this is good. This is good stuff. I would buy this if it was separate from the lip color. This is that good. It has zero smell, which is also something that I always appreciate.

Now I'm just gonna kiss the back of my hand to see if there's any transfer. This is how I make out. I don't see anything. The gloss at this point has fully rubbed off. The gloss is not what's transfer-proof, it's the actual lip color, but the lip color doesn't seem to be moving. I'm rubbing. And another thing is that it doesn't feel drying, which I feel like is always associated with these long-wearing lip products. It doesn't feel drying at all, especially because you can put the gloss on top without worrying about it messing up the color.

And just to see if these are actually mask-proof, we're gonna try it out with my mask. The inside of it is white. There is some makeup on it. Ignore that, but let's see if any transfer comes off on the mask. I should probably talk. La, la, la, la, la! [laughs] Um, I don't know what to say. But at this point there's probably something on the mask. I see another one of those little red dots that I think is just flaking off from the inside of my mouth. But I don't see any of the lipstick on here.

OK, I'm starving, so it's a good time to test how well this lipstick holds up while I'm eating and drinking. So, I tried to get foods that are, like, a little on the messy side. So we have some very saucy pasta, this is penne with vodka sauce, and we also have garlic bread, which is going to be very oily, it's greasy, so hopefully this stays put. I'm not seeing anything come off on the can. So, here's what my lips look like after eating for a while. I feel like there's no difference, except that now my lips have cheese on them. I guess what I was expecting was that the oil from the food was gonna start to break it down into, like, a slipperier texture, and it's not doing that. It still feels totally dry. It is 3:10 p.m. right now. I put this on at around 11 a.m. this morning. All of my lip gloss has pretty much disappeared. My lips are starting to feel slightly drier than when I first applied, but it's nothing too terrible. I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable.

These Nyx lip colors aren't technically marketed as waterproof, but I ran some swatches under water and they did not budge, which is making me think that they definitely are, so let's see how it holds up when I'm in the shower. Here's how my lips are looking after that shower. I feel like they look a lot drier than they feel. It's interesting, it doesn't feel very dry at all. It hasn't changed in dryness from the last time I commented on it, but it looks kind of, like, crackly. Still nothing. Nothing is transferring, nothing transferred with the water, so I think that this is holding up pretty good, actually.

I was supposed to wake up at 5 a.m. to do my 16-hour check-in, and it's now 7 a.m., so I have had this lipstick on my lips for the past 18 hours. I'm ready to take it off, but thoroughly impressed with how much lipstick is on my mouth at this point in time. You can see that it really came apart in the inside and did kind of flake off in some areas, like right here it looks like some came off. I know that I wore this two hours longer than I said I was going to, but I think that makes it all the more impressive, OK? 'Cause it's still there. This is not maybe 100% perfect, but this has probably been one of the most long-lasting lip products I think I've ever tried. Maybe I'm just, like, still half asleep and can't really see very well. Ignore my face. This looks.... I'm gonna go take a shower now and put on some clothes, maybe run a brush through my hair, and then I will tell you what I think about the Shine Loud lip colors. So, see you later.

Hi! It's future me popping in, because I wanted to show you guys how I managed to remove the lip color, just in case you were wondering. This is the Soko Glam Living Cleansing Balm. I just applied some all over my lips and let it sit for a bit, then used a micellar wipe. It did take a couple of tries, but eventually it all came off. OK, bye!

The Nyx Shine Loud lip color definitely withstood every single test that I put it through and even managed to last two hours longer than I originally intended on wearing it, so I have to say I'm really impressed. I'm really impressed by this lipstick, and I think that this is that long-lasting mask-proof lip product that everybody has been searching for.
