It is a dark lipstick, and I love the vamp look, sure. Perhaps if it were more matte i'd be more accommodating, but the creme formula is a miss for me. It goes on everything, and i'd recommend it only if you don't expect to eat while it's on, because two bites in and this stuff wipes right off like an oily poop. It also gets on your teeth so watch out for that too. Can't say I love it, there's better cremes.
