Description
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in London (SMLC 04) — Dusty Rose Pink Elegance in 8ml
The NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in London (SMLC 04) is a beautifully wearable dusty rose-pink from NYX Professional Makeup's iconic city-inspired shade collection. London captures the refined, understated elegance of the British capital — a muted, sophisticated rose that reads as grown-up and polished without being overpowering. It is distinct from Stockholm's cooler peachy-nude and warmer than a pure dusty mauve, sitting in a perfectly balanced dusty rose-pink that works effortlessly across skin tones.
The NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream formula (from NYX Professional Makeup, part of the L'Oréal Group) is known globally for its whipped, mousse-like texture that feels comfortable even after hours of wear. London's pigmentation gives a clear, defined dusty rose on the first application, buildable to a more intense rose for evening.

Shade Profile: London
London (SMLC 04) is a dusty rose-pink — muted, refined, and wearable. The "dusty" quality comes from a slight grey-beige undertone that tempers the pink, giving it sophistication over sweetness. It is warmer and pinker than Montreal's berry-mauve and cooler and less peachy than Monte Carlo. On fair skin it reads as a soft, romantic rose; on medium skin it becomes a beautiful everyday neutral-pink; on deeper skin tones it creates a subtle, flattering rose-nude effect.

FAQs
What colour is London exactly — is it more pink or more beige?
London (SMLC 04) is more pink than beige but has a muted, dusty quality from subtle grey-beige undertones. It reads as a sophisticated dusty rose rather than a vibrant candy pink or a plain beige, making it ideal for everyday polished looks.
How does London compare to Amsterdam and Stockholm?
Amsterdam (SMLC 01) is warmer and more classically pink-nude; Stockholm (SMLC 02) is cooler and more peachy-nude. London (SMLC 04) sits in a slightly more defined rose territory with a dusty refinement that makes it feel more grown-up than either of those two shades.
Is London suitable for very fair skin?
Yes. On very fair skin, London creates a beautiful soft romantic rose that adds a subtle depth without overwhelming the complexion. It is one of the most flattering shades for fair skin types in the range.
Does the dusty finish make it look dated or washed out?
Not at all. The dusty quality of London gives it a modern, editorial feel — it is one of the defining characteristics of contemporary matte lip trends. Paired with warm makeup tones it looks effortlessly chic.
Can I wear London for a professional setting?
Absolutely. London's muted, sophisticated dusty rose is one of the more workplace-appropriate shades in the Soft Matte Lip Cream collection, providing colour without being distracting or too bold.
