I did a search and I did not get any results so please don't get angry if there is already a forum on this. But, where can I get black lipstick?

There are plenty of results on a search for 'black lipstick', but as far as I can see there are none on where to buy it. This is probably because it is quite readily available.
If you have a local goth/greebo/alt. store, they will almost always carry it.
If you have a market, make up stores there normally carry it.
If you can shop on the internet there are thousands of stores where you can buy it, many links are here on goth.net.
Alternatively check out high street stores like Boots and Superdrug or their equivalents.
Even if they do not carry black they will carry a shade of something nearly-black.

Disclaimer
Be warned, black lipstick suits very few people, I have yet to see any non-model looking person pull it off. If your lips are at all thin it will make them look twenty times thinner. I reccommend a dark red/wine/plum colour if you want something dark, or even a chocolate if you are of suitable colouring.

Since it's impossible to find black-coloured lipstick in my area, I've tried various replacements. The one that works best is liquid eyeliner. Paint your lips with it, wait for it to dry, apply liberal amounts of lipgloss and you're done. It looks great and it stays on. Just make sure to hydrate the hell out of yourlips after you remove it, liquid eyeliner's not exactly made for lip use, you know...

I've looked there before and unfortunately they never seem to have black or any colour close to it, unless i'm looking in the wrong place. Strangely enough, my local joke shop had black lipstick, along with shades of dark blue and er... green.

There are loads of websites you can get black lipstick from. You could try gothic.uk.com if you're in the UK. Remember google is your friend.

hehe, I tried Stille`s suggestion a few times, except for the gloss part. I`m male so I generally don`t buy lip gloss, but after awhile it starts to spiderweb off my lips.... Actually I rarely wear lipstick, but when I do, a dark coffee color works just as well, much better than what a lot of kids do around here, which is wear cheap halloween makeup, which of course looks horrible.....

Where are you from? It would be easier for people to give you advice on shops etc., if they knew.

Well, that's why the lipgloss is in for... give it a bit of shine, keep your lips in shape and the eyeliner in place. The hemp lipgloss by the body shop works well for me, but any product made for dry lips should work, especially if it contains wax or some other lip-protecting thing.

The only time I have ever seen black lipstick really sold in drugstores or Walmart is around Halloween. Wet n'Wild makes it at that time, and their products are pretty decent in quality as well as being cheap.

Stay far, far away from the stuff made for Halloween costumes. It looks hideous and can be very drying. All it is is grease paint for your lips. I've never tried the stuff sold at Snot Topic--Morbid Make-up I believe it is--but from what I have heard, it--not surprisingly--sucks, because it just looks like a gloss no matter how many layers you put on.

I rarely wear the stuff because I can't even get regular lipstick to stay on me (Outlast, my ass...) even though it doesn't look too bad. If I do find a good one, I'll let you know.

Yes Morbid's lipsticks truly suck ass, but I wouldn't say it's because it looks like a gloss no matter how many layers you'd put on. My beef with Morbid is that it'll only look decent for the first 5 minutes you have it on...
Anyway, I'm fortunate enough to have a local drugstore that stocks Wet 'n' Wild black lipstick all the time, but there is always the black eyeliner route if you can't get some online or at a store near you.

Not a day goes by when I don't thank the gods that Hot Topic hasn't come to the UK.

Rimmel Lasting Finish....your new best friend. I have the Bordeaux shade. It's a very very very dark red. Line your lips in a black pencil *afterwards*, and use your regular liner beneath for gods' sake, and blend in for a damn-near black shade that is moisture-licious.

Rich Moisture in Astral is very dark.

Full Volume in Boost, Foxy Lady, Full On, and Saucy. All very very dark.

Use these with the above technique. Add Lipcote afterwards for extra moisture and staying power, though you'll have to top up through the night anyways.

The above lipsticks are available in every high street cosmetics store I've been to. And they're just Rimmel.


Urban Decay do Lip Gunk in AC/DC and Bruise, black with added glitter. They're available in department stores.

Narcissa-Mae's ideas are about the best choices you have and in my opinion I would decide to use a very dark shade opposed to actual black lipstick as it has been said that it really doesn't look good often. I too have yet to see anyone looking half presentable in black lipstick.

However if you absolutely must have black a good quality liquid eyeliner and vaseline (if you have that where you are, it's a type of lip gloss/balm and is very effective) work well for 2 hours or so as this is what I did for halloween years back.

Good Luck (:

A black eye-crayon works really well as black lipstick. Be sure to buy a soft, creamy crayon - you can usually tell because they're bigger in diameter than, say, a brow or eyeliner pencil. Just draw a line around the outline of your lips, then fill in with more crayon. A bit of face powder dusted on after will "set" the crayon, and make it last longer.

I actually prefer this to black lipstick, because the color is more intense and it lasts longer. And they're really easy to find; any drugstore will have a good selection of them.

Hope this helps.

I would be very wary of using pencil straight onto your lips, it might very well dry them out, and that is if you can get an even coating. I tried the above technique for Halloween before, and could hardly get a decent coat on my lips without looking like a child had just scribbled all over me.

Are you referring to the eye-shadow crayons, LegendGirl? If so, I suppose it would be preferrable to eyeliner, but would still be very cautious. Maybe use a lip moisturiser before or afterwards? What sort of face powder though? Wouldn't a facial-tone powder tone it down a lot, or is that the point? It might stop the black from having so much of a thinning-effect, which is always a bonus.

Edited to say thank you very muchly for the compliment Shelley . *feels all warm and fuzzy now*.

Very welcome, do enjoy the fuzzy-ness! :b

Not sure if it is said, but what works easily for me is to use a black kohl pencil to paint your lips, then put some dark red lipstick on top. It evens it out, and it looks better. It isn't completely back, but it looks it. Dark red and even dark brown lipstick is fairly easy to get in any make-up store.
