This is the only long wearing black lipstick I was able to find on the market. It wears well and is long lasting. In fact a little too well! It was challenging to find a product to remove it, without drying out my lips. What worked?? Simple - just baby oil on a cotton ball, or tissue, and rub lightly it removes the lipstick. This is a true dark black color, with a slight greenish tint. Well worth the money, I paid more than double on other products that don't wear half as well as this lipstick. You wouldn't be disappointed!! Order it today!
