Unique medium-dark brown liner, which transforms average reds into more interesting, vampish shades. Texture, adherence, blendability and pigment longevity all score highly.

This is a pretty dark brown for those days you wanna just add gloss and a brown liner, or gold lips with the brown liner. Mary J Blige uses this, and so I had to try it. and I like it!
