I say Yay. I wear lipsticks that are teal, dark blue, purple, mint green, light blue, silver for everyday. Black is definitely a Yay for me.

Anyway, I say yay! I've seen such amazing looks with black lipstick lately (especially since it seems to be making a huge comeback lately & I love the way it looks. Especially on girls like model, Felice Fawn. She pulls it off amazingly & it looks beautiful!

Absolutely- Yay. It's a great look for night time. Generally if/when people judge you for a daring makeup/fashion choice it's because they don't have the balls to try it. I cannot tell you how many times, for my lipstick in particular, people have commented on how bright or bold of a color it is. They almost always say something like "I could never pull that off" or "I don't know how you can wear that." My answer is always, "Oh, thank you!" Several times I've seen the same people who said something wearing something similar to what they commented on after the fact. Inspire people, be a trend setter. If people don't like it, they don't have to wear it!

Black stick was my staple in high school and I still love it. I say if you want to wear it go for it. Don't worry about what others will think of you. If it makes you happy and more confident then why not?!

Yes yes yes! I adore black lipstick! There are so many great ones to choose from too! You just have to remember to check it throughout the day, since it can get messy! Also, a reverse lip-liner is your friend for preventing that dark color from migrating all over your face. Definitely get one of those if you're going to be rocking your black all day long! (Favorite black lips: Portland Black Lipstick Company, OCC Lip Tar, Illamasqua, Armour Beauty)

Go for it. I've been wanting to do a dark purple/black lip for school too, with a soft, nude face, but have chickened out. Do it for me! :D

go for it. i'm all about lipstick colors...red, bold oranges, purples (plum to barney purple lol)
Trying anything 'out there' in public is always kinda scary at first. Yeah, people will freak out but WHO CARES! I think you should go for it :)

Nay on black, yay on colors so dark they are practically black. Leave black lipstick to idiot goth kids who don't know better.
Lou gave you a great option with Cyber. It can be built to near black, so you will get a similar effect, but it's purple so it's better.

Yay! If you want to wear it then who cares what anyone else thinks? Rock the shit out of that black lipstick ;D

If you wear the black, I feel you must carefully plan your outfit...you wanna plan the entire look so it won't come off as something you weren't actually going for...like the grunge look.

Just go for it and screw what others think. Personally I can't sport the look but I certainly appreciate it when others do it.

Depends on what you're wearing it with or for?

Personally I wouldn't do it but that's just because I don't think it looks good on me :) If you want to do it, why not? It's your face, paint it whatever color you want!!!
