I bought this mechanical twist-up liner on a whim. I'm always looking for light nude liners. This is a caramel nude, darker than I wanted, but it is really great. It is the right color to give my lips the look of dimension that fuller-lipped people often have. I wear it just on the bow of my lips and center of the bottom lip, so far with sheer pink gloss topped with sheer red gloss. This is a nude type look for me. I even like this l/l better than MAC Stripdown.
