Undertone + depth analysis

NYX Brooklyn Thorn is a medium brown lip liner with neutral undertones with a slight cool cast. Its color profile is muted, so it tends to read as softer and more restrained on most lip bases. Brooklyn Thorn sits toward the medium end of the brown spectrum and reads slightly plum-brown.

What the neutral-cool base does

The undertone keeps Brooklyn Thorn from pulling warm while avoiding the strongest grey cast seen in more editorial cool shades.

How the depth wears

The deeper value creates clear lip structure on many skin depths, but it usually reads less severe than very cool greyed-purple liners.

Why it feels versatile

Brooklyn Thorn bridges everyday cool-brown and editorial cool looks, so it can pair with neutral, rosy, and muted berry lip colors.
