NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Smushy Matte Lip Balm — Swipe 2 Smooth (Cherry Cola Brown), Vegan Tinted Moisturizer, Soft Matte Comfort

NYX Smushy Matte Lip Balm in Swipe 2 Smooth (Cherry Cola Brown) is a lightweight, vegan tinted lip moisturizer that delivers a soft-focus matte wash and cushiony feel.

This smudge-resistant tinted balm blends the comfort of a lip moisturizer with a blurred matte pigment for everyday wearable color. The formula uses mochi rice powder and sugar ceramides to create a velvety texture that layers easily, so you can build intensity from a subtle stain to a deeper brown tint without feeling dry or sticky. Designed as part of a 12-shade collection, this shade—Cherry Cola Brown—sits between warm brown and muted cherry, ideal for neutral-to-warm makeup looks.

How will this balm feel on my lips?

The Smushy Matte Lip Balm gives a cushion-like, balm-first sensation while drying down to a soft, diffused matte finish. It’s formulated to prioritize comfort over a flat, powdery matte so lips stay smooth and comfortable all day.

• Lightweight, balm-like texture that glides on easily
• Mochi rice powder for a soft, blurred surface
• Sugar ceramides to help maintain a hydrated feel
• Non-tacky finish that layers without flaking

How pigmented is Swipe 2 Smooth (Cherry Cola Brown)?

The shade provides buildable coverage: a single swipe creates a soft wash, while multiple layers deepen the color to a richer brown-berry tone. The formulation favors a natural, wearable opacity rather than an opaque block of color.

• Sheer-to-medium payoff that you can intensify by reapplying
• Blends easily for a diffused, lived-in look
• Suitable for daily wear or evening looks when layered
• Works over or under other lip products for customized depth

Is this product clean and cruelty-free?

This lip balm is vegan and produced by a brand recognized for cruelty-free policies. It avoids animal-derived ingredients and doesn’t involve animal testing, aligning with PETA-certified standards.

• Vegan formula—no animal-derived components
• Cruelty-free: brand acknowledged by PETA
• Made for regular use with skin-friendly emollients
• Part of a diverse shade range to suit many skin tones

How should I apply and maintain the shade throughout the day?

Apply directly from the stick for a quick wash of color. Reapply as needed to increase pigment or refresh the finish; the balm is designed to layer cleanly without balling or clumping.

• Smush the tip slightly then swipe across lips for even coverage
• Layer 2–3 times for deeper intensity without dryness
• Touch up after meals to restore color and comfort
• Use over a liner for sharper edges or under gloss for shine

Who is this for: The NYX Smushy Matte Lip Balm in Swipe 2 Smooth suits anyone seeking a comfortable, tinted matte look without the dryness of traditional liquid mattes—ideal for everyday wearers, makeup beginners, and anyone who wants an easy-to-apply lip color in a warm brown-berry tone. If you favor soft-focus finishes, crave a vegan and cruelty-free option, or want a portable lip product that blends skincare benefits with color, this shade is a practical pick.
