MANIC PANIC Lethal Semi Matte Lipstick - Creamtones Raven Black Lipstick - Long-Lasting, Moisturizing Formula - Talc & Cruelty-Free Lip Makeup (0.35oz)

Once again, am very pleased with the Manic Panic line of lipsticks! Tish & Snooky's MANIC PANIC N.Y.C. Creamtone lipstick, in the shade 'Black Rose', went on easily, is isn't patchy, and is a rich, heavily pigmented red/burgundyish shade that settles on the lips as a creamy semi-matte, not to mention, it's very flattering against my deep/brown complexion (which is must, when I buy lipsticks). It's creamy and moisturizing, and stays on for most of the day. Of course, I also love the edgy packaging it comes in.I, personally, only have to reapply once whenever I wear this particular lipstick...And that's usually at the end of the workday, before I leave. Even lasts through bouts of coffee and cocktail drinking; I only have to do a couple of dabs on my lips to freshen it up, after drinking. Am a happy customer.

This is not so much a BLOOD red. I was thinking it was a DARK red but it is not. It did NOT turn pink on me. Some of the reds end up turning purple on me but this one did not. I am medium to dark Latina woman. Around the skin tone of Eva Mendez. This is a good shade of red for me. The lipstick itself is of good quality. It last me through the morning and into the afternoon. Did have to reapply around 3 or so. But not a deal breaker for me. Because of the "Gothic Vintage" wording I thought it was going to be pretty vampy but I am happy to say that it is good for daywear.

Manic Panic no longer gets bonus points for the amazing, vibrant colors of their products; it's expected all the time now, otherwise this might be a 5-star review for me. Needless to say, the red is beautiful and didn't cost them points.As someone with naturally dry lips and skin, this product isn't as moisturizing as other lipsticks I've tried, but it also didn't dry them out or give that heavy, cakey, my-lips-are-glued-together feeling that some of the thicker brands give you. For the price, it is definitely good quality. What I like most about this one is that unlike some reds that will bleed outside your lipline if you don't use lip liner, I had no issues with this bleeding onto my skin from my lips. It stayed put, it lasted through most of a meal and only needed a dab to refresh it. I would buy this again.

I would say that my only serious complaint is that the lipstick tube had the packaging sticker slapped right on it. It comes in a very pretty little tube and I was VERY unhappy to have sticky glue residue on my tube. I scrubbed and scrubbed to get rid of this.Other than the minor packaging issue, I think I have found my perfect red! I read a review on here that said the shade was good for women of color, so I took a chance and ordered it (I am a dark shade of creamed coffee and I have lots of red-brown tones in my skin). It brings out the fullness of my lips and it doesn't dry my lips out! Worth the price. The only other thing is that after a few hours and drink cups, the shade will fade to a hot pink, but it is a very lovely shade regardless and it grows on me more and more.

Yes, that lip print is accurate. When applied heavily, like two+ coats, you will see it mainly as dark red, but one coat it's distinctly purple. The edges of your lips will reveal it even with two or three coats. And the texture of the lipstick is waxy and hard to apply. I have red hair and fair skin and this was not appealing on me. I don't know how some of these other ladies got the lighter shades that are shown in their photos.

my daughter loves it

I ordered two; raven was poured oddly and is not smooth to put on- it wants to stick to my lips as I put it on leaving an uneven line of lipstick you cant smooth your lips together. Marilyn is almost expired and has little bumps all through the stick which is a bummer because the color is to die for very disappointing for the price especially considering I can replace or return either… so I’m out $30 and the lipstick.

I purchased this as a gift for my daughter. For her 18th birthday I wanted to get her a classic set of breakfast at tiffanys style pearls and a classic red lipstick. To me when a young lady turns 18 these are two requirements of style that are absolutely necessary as they are classic, classy and will take you anywhere and everywhere....My daughter agreed with me - she loved the pearls and this was the perfect red lipstick for her. She said it goes on smoothly, wears well and was the absolute perfect red for her. My daughter has an extremely light caramel skintone if that helps at all (slightly lighter than Halle Berry). The red works perfect for her skintone and shows up as a true blood red.
