The color looks nice on a black girl, but the lipstick has no durability and will come off very easily and smear very readily.It was exactly what I looking for. A perfect red that wasn't dry but wasn't chapstick or oily.But this one missed the mark. I love to see that there is black owned company and a company that is intent on designing colors for black and women of color. This color was advertised to be a "Deep" and by it's own description states a "matte lipstick has a deep berry red color with a blackberry undertone." I didn't find that to be true. It was a bright red, cool toned, and not complimentary to my skin complexion. Might work for someone else but not me. It also did not withstand the "waterproof test". I will be returning this one but was grateful to find colors that were incredibly flattering from this line. I will post on those (i.e. Baby Brown gloss and Dark Night semi-matte).This is a a great product for black women. Shades are subtle and flattering to my skin toneI have been looking for lipstick that was true to its advertising and Mented Cosmetics, is definitely the one. When I applied the lipstick, to my surprise it was the same color as in the tube. It felt so moist on my lips and my husband agree, after kissing him. My lips do not crack or feel dry and it last a long time. It is easy to apply and doesn’t bleed. This company definitely put a lot of thought and effort into this product and it shows how Mented Cosmetics cares for their customers.Great color and perfect textureI needed this to have organize my closetThe lipstick looks great on brown complexions. I plan to try the shades.
