NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Amsterdam (SMLC 01) — The Classic Pink-Nude Original in 8ml
The NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Amsterdam (SMLC 01) holds a special place in the collection as shade number one — the original, the classic, the starting point of one of makeup's most beloved city-named lip cream ranges. Amsterdam is a classic pink-nude: warm enough to feel flushed and natural, pink enough to add visible colour, and universally flattering in a way that makes it one of the most-purchased shades in NYX Professional Makeup's entire lineup.
Created by NYX Professional Makeup (a brand within the L'Oréal Group), the Soft Matte Lip Cream formula revolutionised affordable lip colour with its whipped mousse texture that sets to a genuine, non-sticky matte finish while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear. Amsterdam encapsulates everything right about this formula — great pigmentation, effortless blendability, and a colour that simply works.

Shade Profile: Amsterdam
Amsterdam (SMLC 01) is a classic warm pink-nude. It is warmer and pinker than a true beige-nude but far softer and more wearable than a bold red or berry. On fair skin it creates a pretty, enhancing flush. On medium skin it reads as a gorgeous warm rose-nude. On deeper skin tones it becomes a playful contrast nude. Unlike Stockholm's cooler peach-pink or London's dusty rose, Amsterdam sits comfortably in a warm, universally appealing pink-nude zone that is truly the go-to everyday shade.

FAQs
What colour is Amsterdam exactly — is it more pink or more nude?
Amsterdam (SMLC 01) is balanced between pink and nude, leaning slightly warmer and pinker than a true beige-nude. It reads as a classic warm pink-nude that is neither too pink nor too beige, making it an everyday all-rounder.
Why is Amsterdam SMLC 01 — does that make it the original shade?
Yes. Amsterdam is shade number one in the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream range, making it the first shade released and arguably the most iconic. It established the benchmark for what a Soft Matte Lip Cream shade could be.
How does Amsterdam compare to Stockholm in the same range?
Stockholm (SMLC 02) is cooler and slightly more peachy-pink, with a Scandinavian minimalist feel. Amsterdam (SMLC 01) is warmer and more classically pink-nude, making it the warmer, more universally wearable of the two.
Is Amsterdam suitable for all skin tones?
Yes. The warm pink-nude tone of Amsterdam is widely flattering. On fair skin it reads as a soft rose-pink flush; on medium skin it appears as a gorgeous warm nude-pink; on deeper skin tones it creates a striking contrast nude.
Can I wear Amsterdam for a natural no-makeup look?
Absolutely. A single light coat of Amsterdam is one of the best ways to enhance the natural lip colour for a fresh, barely-there look that still shows up beautifully in photos.
