Everything You Need to Know About The New NYX Machinist Collection
October 19, 2018
Just in time for fall and all that comes with it (think Halloween, leaves falling and apple cider donuts) — NYX Professional Makeup has dropped a limited edition collection called Machinist, a steampunk inspired collection with three major colorways that feels perfect for the fall season. Each product corresponds with one of three color palettes — Grind, Ignite and Steam — which contains a wide range of warm and cool shades in an array of finishes. In other words, there’s something for everyone. The full collection includes three 12-pan eyeshadow palettes, three lipsticks, three highlighting duos and three lip lacquers.

Machinist Shadow Palette in Grind
This expertly coordinated palette features deep yellows, greens and autumnal shimmers — making it the type of palette beauty junkies go wild for. We’re particularly obsessed with the deep mustard shade — second row, third from the right if you’re wondering — a trendy shade we’ve seen on the runway, ‘gram and virtually everywhere in between.
Machinist Shadow Palette in Steam
If Grind is fall in a palette, then Steam is all about those wintry hues. It features cool-toned purple, blue and silver metallics and a shimmery rose gold shade for good measure. Using this palette you can create an all-in-one eye look, or pair it with another in the collection for an ultra-customized look.
Machinist Shadow Palette in Ignite
Ignite is the most romantic of the three — featuring deep pink shimmers, warm toned browns, and a magenta shimmer shade you’ll want to wear all over. It’s perfect for a Thanksgiving makeup look or a sultry smoky eye for fall.
Keeping in line with its sister product — the palette — Machinist is honey bronze shade that looks good on just about everyone. The formula is creamy and milled with ultra fine pearls for a slightly reflective lip that’s still subtle enough for everyday wear.
We’re particularly partial to this lippie, a copper toned lipstick that feels neutral but special. We recommend pairing this lip with the corresponding palette for a cohesive look you can rock through winter and beyond.
Bronze lipstick is one of the easiest ways to try a metallic lip look — it’s subtle yet fancy and natural enough for even the most glitter shy. We love this shade on deep skin tones or those with brown toned lips. It’s full coverage, creamy, and offers that your-lips-but-better effect.
Machinist Highlighting Duo in Grind
This gold and copper duo is perfect for beauty lovers with deeper skin tones and can be used on the high points of your face or all over for an otherworldly glow. You can also apply either color to the inner corner of the eye to bring a little extra light to your eye look. In other words, wherever you apply, glow will follow.
Machinist Highlighting Duo in Steam
If you like an alien babe looking highlight or appreciate a good purple hue, Steam is the duo you need in your life. Comprised of pigment-rich violet and purple shades, this is the experimental beauty buy you can create endless bold, fun looks with, and at $12 each, won’t break the bank.
Machinist Highlighting Duo in Ignite
This opal and bronze pairing is inspired by its accompanying palette and comprises of two wearable shades that we can’t stop reaching for. These velvety shades have lots of shimmer and staying power so they’re a great option for a sickening highlight. Apply with a damp brush and turn your face into a reflective surface or use a light hand for a subtle yet radiant glow.
Machinist Lip Lacquer in Grind
If you’re a longtime fan of the Slip Tease Lip Oil formula, then this lippie will be a welcome addition to your collection. Grind is a wine colored hue that looks great on just about everyone and provides full coverage color to the lips.
Machinist Lip Lacquer in Steam
This plush lippie is full color, smooth and oh so pretty — it’s no wonder that everyone’s already obsessed. The deep blue shade is surprisingly neutral and can be paired with a neutral eye look or a bolder beat.
Machinist Lip Lacquer in Ignite
A “nude” lippie with staying power and lots of coverage? Sign us up. This pink-toned lippie is a great neutral to add to your collection and pairs perfectly with its sister products. We’re reaching for this for any and every makeup look and we think you’ll do the same.
