Description
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Montreal (SMLC 61) — Bold Berry-Mauve Statement Lip in 8ml
The NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Montreal (SMLC 61) is a confident, deeply pigmented medium berry-mauve shade from NYX Professional Makeup's celebrated city-inspired lip cream collection. Montreal — named after the vibrant, artistic Canadian city — delivers a cool-toned berry with subtle mauve depth, making it equally at home at a day event or an evening occasion. It is bolder and cooler than a pink-nude, yet more wearable than a pure dark berry, sitting in a sweet spot that works across a wide range of skin tones.
The Soft Matte Lip Cream formula from NYX (a brand under the L'Oréal Group) has earned global praise for its whipped, mousse-like texture that feels weightless while delivering a true matte finish. Montreal's intense pigmentation means colour is present from the very first application, and the formula's long-wearing properties keep that colour looking fresh for hours.

Shade Profile: Montreal
Montreal (SMLC 61) is a medium berry-mauve — it has the richness of a berry and the softness of a mauve, resulting in a shade that is wearable yet undeniably bold. The cool undertones give it a slightly plummy edge that flatters cool and neutral undertones on all skin depths. On fair-to-medium skin it creates a striking contrast; on deeper skin tones it reads as a sophisticated medium berry that complements the complexion naturally.

How to Apply
- Exfoliate lips and apply a light balm; allow it to fully absorb before colour application.
- Define the outer edge of lips with a berry or plum liner for sharp definition and extended wear.
- Apply Montreal from the centre of the upper lip following the cupid's bow, then fill in the remaining areas.
- For a deeper, more dramatic berry, apply a second layer after the first has set for 30 seconds.
- Blot between layers with a tissue for maximum longevity and to reduce any transfer.
Style Notes
Montreal pairs beautifully with a neutral, sculpted makeup base — let the bold berry lip be the centrepiece. For evening glamour, pair with a smoky eye. For daytime chic, keep eyes minimal with mascara only. Find complementary lip care products including conditioning balms and primers to prep lips for optimal colour wear.

Tip: For a gradient lip look, concentrate the first coat at the centre and blend outwards lightly.
FAQs
What colour is Montreal exactly — is it more berry or more mauve?
Montreal (SMLC 61) leans slightly more berry than mauve, but the mauve undertones soften its intensity. It is neither purely warm-berry nor purely cool-mauve — it sits in an attractive middle ground with a plummy coolness.
Is Montreal suitable for everyday wear or is it only for special occasions?
Montreal is bold enough to elevate any look but not so extreme that it is unwearable day-to-day. Paired with minimal eye makeup, it works perfectly for daytime and evening alike.
Which NYX city shade is closest to Montreal if I want something slightly more muted?
London (SMLC 04) is the closest if you want a slightly dustier, more muted rose-pink. Zurich (SMLC 14) is deeper and bolder. Montreal sits in between as a medium-intensity berry-mauve.
Does Montreal work on deeper skin tones?
Yes. On medium to deep skin tones, Montreal reads as a beautifully rich berry that complements the complexion without looking washed out or overly dark.
Is this the same as the standard Soft Matte Lip Cream or a newer version?
Montreal (SMLC 61) is part of the extended NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream range — it uses the same beloved formula as the original collection, just in an additional shade number beyond the classic line-up.
