Who it suits
Colour theory suggests NYX Dark Nebula works with cool, neutral and warm undertones.
Its medium-deep depth sits most naturally on medium, tan and deep skin.
A gloss finish is shiny and often sheer, so Dark Nebula can read lighter and more translucent on the lips than its hex; payoff depends on the formula.
