What the gurus are saying

The rectangular shape earns real praise for versatility, letting people line traditionally with the narrow side or fill in lips quickly with the wider edge. The plumping sensation is mild rather than intense, and the formula sits sticky initially, so gurus suggest letting it dry completely before layering rather than tapping your lips while it sets.

"I love this lip liner because this is a plumping lip liner from the drugstore. This is NYX Duck Plump Plumping Lip Liner in Pink Junction. And this is my favorite lip liner of the year. I love the shape of this lip liner. It's a rectangle, so it's wider in one way than it is the other. So it gives you the choice of doing a traditional lip liner or if you turn it the other way, you can fill in your lips really, really easily."

"So if you're someone who hates the tingle, hates to have the burning lip sensation, then you won't like this because it will eventually get there. I actually like the tingle, I really dig it, so this is a winner for me. I love this tingly plumping lip liner. The shape on this is really nice, was really easy to apply and to fill in the whole lip, which is what you want to do when you have something plumping like this."

"Another fave from the drugstore video was also from NYX it is this Duck Plump lip liner this is a plumping lip liner and if you don't like the plumping tingle then you probably won't like this but I do love a good plumping tingle."

"It doesn't feel spicy to me. I'm a little bit of a wimp. I can feel a slight tingle. But my lip primer also does have a slight tingle to it. [...] It's a little bit sticky. But the trick with these is to not tap your lips and just let them sit, let them completely dry and then go in with another coat."

"I loved the color of this nude, it's such a gorgeous color. It's definitely got an extreme plumping feel to it, so keep that in mind. I'm somebody who doesn't mind that, but you know some people are bothered by it or genuinely have sensitivity to it, so keep that in mind. But the color is 10 out of 10."

THE BEST DRUGSTORE MAKEUP 2024!! 😍

"I fell in love with the Nyx Duck Plump lip gloss and I'm wearing that in the center of the lips today. This is a very very plumping lip gloss like this is not for the faint of heart. I feel it's still like burning my lips but in a pleasant way. If you like the feel of a plumping gloss, I highly recommend it. If you're somebody who wants super glossy comfortable lips, I highly recommend this formula. It's so good. If you don't want a plumping effect, obviously don't try the Nyx one."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
