FAQs

Who is NYX Professional Makeup?

Named after the Greek goddess of the night, NYX Professional Makeup was founded in Los Angeles in 1999 by Korean-born entrepreneur Toni Ko, who set out to create high-quality beauty products at genuinely affordable prices. NYX Professional Makeup is more than a makeup brand - it's a powerhouse brand, a community filled with bold energy and fuelled by Gen Z culture, and a global voice that represents artistry in all its forms: unfiltered, unapologetic, and fully inclusive by design.

What are the most popular products by NYX Professional Makeup?

NYX has an impressive roster of cult-classic products that consistently earn rave reviews. The Butter Gloss Lip Gloss is one of the most iconic, a non-sticky, high-shine gloss with a comfortable, cushiony feel that is available in over 40 shades and pairs beautifully with the Lip Lingerie Lip Liner Stain for a precise, long-lasting lip look. The Epic Ink Liquid Eyeliner has earned a devoted following for its ultra-fine precision tip and waterproof, smudge-proof formula that holds a sharp line all day. The Brow Glue Instant Brow Styler is equally beloved, a viral product that keeps brows laminated and in place without any fuss. Rounding things out, the Face Glue Gripping Makeup Primer is a standout base product that locks makeup in place all day, making it the perfect starting point for any long-lasting NYX look.

How do I build a full makeup routine with NYX Professional Makeup?

Building a full face with NYX is straightforward, with every product designed to work seamlessly together. Start with the Plump Right Back Plumping Serum & Primer to hydrate and prep the skin, then apply the Buttermelt Glaze Soft Glow Skin Tint+ SPF30 for a lightweight, luminous base with built-in sun protection. Follow with the Bare With Me Concealer Serum to brighten under the eyes and cover any areas that need a little extra attention. Sculpt and warm up the complexion with the Buttermelt Bronzer, then add a flush of colour with the Buttermelt Blush for a healthy, glowing finish. Sweep the Buttermelt Highlighter across the high points of the face for a luminous, lit-from-within effect. For the brows, the Blade & Shade Nano Brow Pencil delivers hair-stroke precision for a natural, defined finish. On the eyes, prime with the Ultimate Shadow & Liner Eye Primer before reaching for the Ultimate 16 Colour Eyeshadow Palette for a versatile everyday look. Finish the lips with the Fat Matte Smooth Colour Lipstick for a bold, pigmented matte finish, and lock everything in place with the Matte Finish Makeup Setting Spray for a long-lasting result from morning to night.
