Where Brownie Drip sits in color space
Warm or cool?
“Warm or cool” is relative here. Brownie Drip is not golden caramel, but it also is not a gray-cool gloss. The main shift is rosy pink-brown rather than beige-brown.
How it wears
Butter Gloss has translucency, so natural lip pigmentation will affect how much beige, brown, or pink comes through. On deeper lips, Brownie Drip may read like a rosy brown gloss rather than a defining dark brown.

Dupes and similar shades
I would not treat any shade as an exact NYX Butter Gloss Brownie Drip dupe without direct swatches. Similar shades should be compared by depth, rosy versus beige-brown balance, warmth, opacity, and finish.
The closest comparisons will probably come from nearby rosy brown, pink-brown, and soft brown glosses rather than lip liners with a matte or pencil finish.
