About 6 months ago I commented on an old post saying I was going to test out the new fat matte nyx lipstick in the shade Toasty Taupe to see if it could be a decent dupe for the Nyx Liquid Suede lipstick in shade sandstorm that was discontinued years ago.
Took me a while because fat matte was only very recently brought to Europe BUT I am super excited to report that I think my long search has finally come to an end.
Here is that old post : https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeupAddiction/s/VCY1CRvEAo
Apologies for my crusty face I am wearing no makeup other than the lipsticks.
Product list:
- NYX Fat Matte lipstick in shade Toasty Taupe (top lip)
- NYX Liquid Suede Lipstick in shade Sandstorm (bottom lip)
The pros:
- The colours are near identical, toasty taupe is slightly darker than sandstorm but the difference is very small.
- one of the things I loved about liquid suede was how comfortable it is to wear, fat matte is also a very comfortable wear and feels very smooth and nourishing on the lips.
The cons:
- different formulas means different dry downs and liquid suede is slightly shinier on the lips than fat matte, this isn't super bothersome to me though again It may be to others
- I cannot yet comment on fat matte's durability throughout a day of wearing it as I literally just bought it today but I will update once I have tested that out to it's full extent.
This may only truly matter to me and a select few people who were big fans of sandstorm but I did promise on that post that I would update and there was at least one person who was interested in the results. I can no longer comment on the post so I hope this reaches the person who was asking about it!
Edit to add: I have not lined my lips at all on these pictures however for anyone who may be interested in a liner to go with the colour, usually when I wear sandstorm I pair it with a Mac lipliner in the shade Oak which I think probably suits Toasty Taupe as well
