I can't believe I never thought of it. Several years ago Mary Kay had a black lip color that was meant to darken colors. Nowadays with it so popular on the runway to wear black lippies, I think it would be fun to try to use straight black pencil with a clear balm. I think I might try it. Woo hoo! It's moved beyond Goth to being edgy in a modern way, if it is the right shade of black. I think it is Chanel that has a number of black lippies with nuances of shading. I need to get to a counter and swatch them to see how they show against my skin. But I bet it would be fairly easy to dupe with products I already have. Oh, I think black would be wonderful.

I hadn't really thought about using a blue-tinted pencil, but the final result on your lips is impressive! (that final shade suits very much) I have experimented with black though: a teeny tiny bit smudged into clear lip balm (the waxy kind) darkens lips nicely without altering their natural hue ;-) Actually it makes perfect sense in that the blue pigment “cools” shades that are too warm and it makes them show more muted too!
