We are back with another #Onebrandmotd. If you’ve been following for awhile, you know what this is all about. If not, I am talking about a beauty challenge that Gaby, from Beauty by Gaby, and myself came up with called #Onebrandmotd. This week brand is Nyx Cosmetics. Last weeks high-end brand was Too faced cosmetics. Unfortunately, I was unable to get my blog post up because of some travel mishaps during my trip Generation Beauty. That trip is a whole other blog post, so be on the look out for that.
Brand Challenge
For those that do not know what the brand challenge is, let me explain! Each week Gaby and I will be doing a full face using one makeup brand. We try and cover our faces with as much of the branded makeup as we can. This calls for creativity when creating the looks. We have also decided to alternate between high end and drugstore to provide some more affordable options. I am happy to announce that we have some new collab additions. We have added two lovely ladies to the group. You will now be able to see four different one brand looks. Check out hashtag #onebrandmotd to see the final looks on social media.
Nyx Cosmetics
Nyx cosmetics was started by Tina Ko back in 1999. She wanted to a create a great product at an affordable price point. It became just that. The ever growing brand started out by just making lip pencils and eyeliners, with the Nyx jumbo eyeliner in Milk being a cult favorite.
My task was to create a simple look with a little bit of color. I was still able to keep my look very minimal and natural looking.

Total Control Drop Foundation– I’ve been wanting to test out this foundation. Luckily, I received some samples in a ULTA gift with purchase. I found applying the foundation with a beauty blender was best. I tested it out with a kabuki flat top, but it left streaks. It is a medium to full coverage, with build-able capabilities.
-
Ultimate Multi-Finish Shadow Palette– I received this palette for free at Generation Beauty San Francisco and let me tell you, it was a pleasant surprise. The colors are very pigmented and blend very well. I was able to create a nice neutral look and do my browns using the dark brown matte color in the palette. I love multi-use products! It’s all about being creative.
-
Away We Glow Liquid Highlighter– I received this from Generation beauty as well, but to be honest…I didn’t get much highlights from this product at all. It was applied to my cheekbones and to my cupids bow. I can see why they were giving it away for free and why it’s on clearance on the website for $4.90.

Mega Shine Lip Gloss– These glosses are an oldie but a goodie. I love the smell, the application, and the just right amount of color.
I hope you enjoyed this mini review and quick #onebrandmotd using Nyx Cosmetics. Check back this weekend for a night time look using NYX.
