Description
Revlon Super Lustrous™ Lipstick in Black Cherry (477) is perhaps the most famous "vampy" lipstick in history. It is a legendary, high-drama shade that has maintained a massive following since the 1950s.
Color Profile
- Shade: A deep, dark black-purple or darkest burgundy. It is designed to look like the skin of a ripe black cherry—nearly black in the tube, but a rich, dark red-purple on the lips.
- Undertones: It has strong, cool, plum undertones. It is very much a "berry-wine" dark, rather than a "brown" dark.
- Finish: It features a Creme finish, which is crucial for this shade. The slight shine gives the dark pigment a "juicy" look, preventing it from looking like a flat, dry matte.
Key Characteristics
- The "Gothic Glam" Icon: This is the go-to shade for a dramatic, moody, or "dark academia" look. It provides an instant high-fashion edge.
- Versatility in Application: * Full Strength: Apply straight from the tube for a bold, opaque, dark burgundy statement.
- As a Stain: Many users "pat" the color on with their fingertips or blot it heavily to create a "just-drank-red-wine" stained effect that is very wearable for daytime.
- Formula: Enriched with Vitamin E and Avocado Oil. Because dark pigments can sometimes be prone to patchiness, the creamy formula helps it glide on more evenly than a matte version would.
