"Not many people have done a great chocolate brown pencil. MAC have done a good one called Chestnut, which is a staple in many dark skinned black girls' makeup bags."
~Mixed
"MAC Chestnut lip liner, which is a dark brown, and then old baby lip gloss, which is a clear lip gloss with gold sparkle, very iridescent, very shiny. That combo was so overdone that I remember because I was on some makeup message boards back in the mid to late 2000s where people were like, 'Yo, we got to put a moratorium on the old baby lip gloss and the MAC Chestnut lip liner. We need to like cease and desist.'"
