What the gurus are saying

Brownie pink is the whole story here: this liner keeps landing in gurus' everyday rotation, with a soft, deeper-than-nude shade that reads like an extension of your own lip color. It wears long enough that reviewers call it worth a little more than a drugstore liner. Try tracing just outside your natural lip edge for definition that still looks effortless.

"This is Wherever Walnut Light from Makeup Forever. It is such a beautiful kind of like lavender pink. I'm wearing it in like the center of the lips today. I typically do like to ground the edges of my lips when I'm using this. But it's such a lovely color. Apparently, you can use this on like your cheeks, too, but I haven't actually tried that yet. I wanted to make sure to mention it, though, because it's one of the newer things that I've tried that has continued to be in rotation."

"I'm going to use Wherever Walnut from Make Up For Ever. I think she might have used any caffeine this one's just a little more pink which I think you know with the blush color is just going to work better so I'm keeping the Cupid's bow shape but letting the pencil go a lot further over than what I normally do. [...] And then when you go in with lip liner it just kind of creates a more of a shadow so your lips look more full."

"The combo I use the absolute most on my lips is the Make Up For Ever Wherever Walnut Lip Liner. I misplace them -- I've got like three or four because they're so good. [...] This is kind of like my go-to brownie pink. Brownie pink tone is what I've been loving. I just go kind of right on the outer edge of my natural lip shade. Already pretty. I like it."
✓Yay
"I'm going in with my Make Up For Ever Lip Liner Pencil in shade Wherever Walnut. This is probably my most used pencil, it's what I use in 95 percent of my YouTube videos. [...] This is a very long wearing lip pencil which is one of the reasons I really like it and totally think it's worth like the slightly more investment than a drugstore lip liner."
✓Yay
"I would probably start off with Wherever Walnut from Makeup Forever because it's my go-to fall lip liner. It's a little deeper than my typical spring and summer everyday nude lip liners."

I'm sorry but you HAVE to try this makeup
"I don't know if I say this often, but this is literally my go-to everyday kind of lip liner. If you're someone who struggles, this will not stay on, I'm someone who, when I'm wearing makeup, I just know not to touch my face, I just don't touch my [...] lips, so I don't have to work hard at it. [...] Just a little definition, a little something. Kind of looks like an extension of the blurred-out color on the rest of my face."
