Great for the lip outline or to fill the whole lip in before lipstick.

I am surprised that reviewers are calling this lip liner too dark. I am fair with pink undertones, and the color is a pretty good match for my SKIN -- and that is my chief complaint. I suppose it's my own fault for having high expectations for a *flesh*-toned lip liner, but how many of us have lips that match our faces? If this lip liner had just a hint of rose in it, to come closer to the pigment in my lips, I'd call it a perfect match. As designed, however, it looks like I am penciling in foundation on my lips, which is great if I want to make them disappear. I don't dislike it, but I won't buy another one when this one runs out. I was hoping for something along the lines of my-lips-but-better, but this lip liner did not deliver. For a closer (albeit darker) match, I prefer MAC Spice or NARS Borneo, but my search for the perfect lip liner continues.

Kevyn Aucoin The Flesh Tone Medium is advertised not as a lip liner but as a product that is the color of your skin and keeps your lipstick in place. The only colors are medium and dark, and I should have known the medium would be too dark for me. It is WAY too dark for me and is really more like a brown lipliner, so it doesn't do what it says it's supposed to do. It is very creamy and if you like brown lipliner, the color is nice.

I actually disagree with some other reviews that the medium lip pencil is too dark for fair skin. I have fair skin and the medium lip pencil is perfect for creating the illusion of plumper lips... it's the best lip pencil I have ever used (and as a make-up junkie, I've used plenty) for creating the nude lip/dramatic eye look. Try it; you will be a loyal customer for life!

Fantastic texture, but WAYYYY too dark for my skin tone. I wish they made a range of shades. In a lighter shade, this could become a staple item.

It looks great, but does not match my fair skin color. I wish they had more shades to choose from, because the medium color really fits a medium-tanned skin color. Otherwise it goes on real smoothly, and with just clear lipgloss it looks great, but it does look like I have a shaded tan lip color.

Smooth, soft texture that goes on easily. The color matches my natural lip color as closely as any lip liner I've ever tried. I wear it under all shades of lipcolor, from dark burgundy to pale pinks - the results are very natural.

This is all you need...goes with everything, and has a nice creamy texture. Worth the price.
