Undertone + depth analysis

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

What the greyed tone does

The greyed base mutes visible warmth, which is why Moonwalk can look cooler than many brown liners.

How the depth wears

Because it is deep and desaturated, Moonwalk can create a stronger outline than softer mauve or rosy shades.

Why it feels editorial

The purple-brown cast gives the shade a less traditional look, especially when used with muted glosses or cool lip colors.
