Undertone + depth analysis

NYX Soft Spoken is a medium brown lip liner with neutral undertones with a warm lean. Its color profile is moderately saturated, so it tends to read as balanced rather than flat on most lip bases. Soft Spoken sits toward the medium end of the brown spectrum and reads slightly red-brown.

What the chestnut base does

The warm muted brown undertone gives Soft Spoken a fuller chestnut effect rather than a cool espresso or rosy-brown finish.

How the depth wears

The deeper value creates visible shape and structure, especially when medium browns look too soft.

Why undertone matters

Because Soft Spoken is warmer than shades like Cold Brew, it can look rich and flattering on some undertones but too warm on others.
