Occult Dark Lipsticks

This Midnight Liquid Lipstick by Anastasia Comes in a Near Black Shade

The all-new Anastasia liquid lipstick in the shade Midnight is an unconventional black hue that offers a vampy, occult look. The lipstick comes in a matte finish that is ideal for fans of darker shades looking to experiment with bold colors.

Black lipstick is often a shade you see used in Halloween and detailed costume makeup looks rather than a staple color in a person's collection, however this Anastasia shade is looking to change all that with a bold formula, sleek packaging and high pigmentation payoff. The color is a rich black hue that is extremely opaque and offers up to six hours of wear time. The lip color may be bold, but it is a unique choice for those interested in richer shades that are ideal for winter and fall.
