Undertone + depth analysis

NYX Cold Brew 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. Cold Brew sits toward the medium end of the brown spectrum and reads slightly plum-brown.

What the rosy brown does

The muted rosy base keeps Cold Brew from looking too orange while still staying clearly in the brown family.

How the depth wears

It gives visible definition on lighter to medium-depth lips, but feels softer than very deep espresso or plum-brown liners.

Why it works for everyday

The Suede Matte formula plus the softened undertone makes Cold Brew useful for blended lip looks rather than only sharp outlining.
