About
What it is.
Butter Gloss is a lip gloss entry in NYX Professional Makeup's lip care line, formulated to condition lips while laying down a glossy, high-shine finish. The formula sits in a non-sticky category, so it layers over lipstick or wears alone without the tacky feel some glosses leave behind. It comes in a wide shade range spanning deep and light tones, with a portion of the lineup built as shimmering, metallic finishes for a multi-pearl effect over other lip products.
As a category, this is a grab-and-go product: no blending or precision technique required, just direct application for lips that look plumped and conditioned. It fits anyone building a low-effort daily routine around a dependable, repeat-use gloss rather than a specialty or occasion-only product.
The verdict
The Butter Gloss earns strong buyer approval—4.6 out of 5 from over 50,000 ratings—for its lightweight formula and glossy finish at $6 to $6.79, though reviewers split on stickiness and how well it holds without catching hair.
