Not a black lipstick fan here. I just use clear lipgloss.

I don't wear 'lipstick' that often either... I agree with the lipgloss, but I like it wit glitter. The last color lipstick that I actually wore was a slightly pinkish- purple.

I have never tried black lipstick,but I usually use lipgloss or a mix of pink/red lipstick. I'm a mix of hispanic with white, so I don't know if black lipstick with the color of my skin will look good :?

On women, I usually prefer really dark red lipstick. Japanese women do it the best 
For guys though, I think it only looks good when someone has a lot of powder or face whitener on to give that harsh contrast, or gothic-undead-Rozz Williams look. I`ve only ever worn it when I`ve totally painted the rest of my face white, and it looks best with spiky hair, leather jacket, and dark shades....

I love black lipstick, but sometimes I do wear red or purple. It depends on my mood and what I'm wearing. I also like to choose a foundation a few shades lighter than my natural skin color (which is hard when ur as pales as a ghost to begin with!) to give that eerie undead look.

Silly makeup
Hello,
I am a professional makeup artist and longtime goth!
I think black lipstick is just silly, as is the whiteface pancake makeup. Silly, silly. To look dead/vampirish, use a GRAY lipstick and apply GRAY blush (you may have to use eyeshadow if you don't have access to pro cosmetics) along your cheekbones - NOT in the hollow of them! You want to emphasize the skeletal features of your face. Use a small brush, and dust shimmer above (not on top of) the gray blush you just put down. Oh, you're so emanciated! You MUST be one of the undead.

That's really cool, B. What's really annoying is that there are two girls at my school tha wear that black halloween greasepaint on their lips and eyes EVERYDAY... they litterally look like clowns- I mean, they draw giant tear drops and stuff on their face! Ok... I guess it really doesn't bother me that much... but they think they're so "hard core" and such. bleh.

I guess Alien Sex Fiend do their makeup wrong then, because they use black lipstick and pancake makeup.....
So is this legendary band a bunch of posers then, because they don`t spend millions on cosmetics???

I walk the line!!!!!
Well, I guess it just goes to show fashion is about individuality, really..... when I go to clubs/shows, I`m really not concerned with how much more money the person next to me spent on their outfit or makeup, when people in black come together I find it`s all about a celebration of lifestyle and good music.

Frankly, on the couple of occasions I've worn black lipstick, 'looking dead' had zero whatsoever to do with it. I like a high-contrast of color values. It doesn't get much higher contrast than my fair skin and black lipstick.
For the record, I DO NOT do whiteface. Ever. It is damned difficult to get it 'right' (and, even done right, it generally looks lame), and I don't see the point frankly. I gave up on the whole Paler Than Thou thing about twelve years ago. There are so many elements to the myriad looks embody the 'goth' look - silhouette, palette, textile, texture (any and all as applied via hair, makeup OR clothes) - that white makeup is the least of the story. I think that's one of those things that actually comes close to a 'rule' - that whiteface really doesn't do ANYONE favors.

Deffinitely not! Wearing make up like that doesn't make some one a posuer... it's just tat so many posuers tend to try to emulate that look... and fail.

I guess it`s different for women than for men.... Makeup works only if you have little or no facial hair, and I`m the kind of guy who has a five o`clock shadow at noon, so I don`t do it that often....
I dunno, whiteface/black lipstick works on some people.... you can either look elegant, like Rozz Williams or Anna-Varney; or ghoulish, like Alien Sex Fiend or Peter Murphy. I don`t see why it`s such a big deal.....

I also only wear dark red. I've seen black look very nice, but I'm not incredibly talented with make-up, so I steer clear of black lipstick.

I am not a lover of the "black" lipstick look, although I have a tip:
Line your lips CAREFULLY with black, navy or any dark shaded lipliner. Fill in with a clear gloss or something moisturizing. That way if it rubs off theres no worries about reapplying every 5 minuites*. And its a big plus, because alot of those "goth" brand lipsticks cake and dry and chap.
I don't do the above 24/7....flavored chapstick for me.
*Soul*

I like black lipstick, and like almost everybody else has said, it looks well if you do it right. I can wear it and have it look good, but usually when it wears off I can't redo the look for some reason. Very frustrating.
I can never find any lipstick that is dry though. I know it sounds wierd, but for me, that's the only way black lipstick would work well so I could redo it if I wanted to. I used to have this really nice dark brown lipstick and it was very dry, I had to put lip gloss on afterwards for it to look good. But unlike some lipsticks it never bled, that's the problem I have with black. Everyone I get bleeds for some reason.

It good
I love the look of black lipstick, I think it's the hottest thing in the whole entire world! I just typed a whole paragraph but the thing deleted it and I am lazy so I won't re-write it. But I have a question....Who can give advice on wearing it so that it doesn't smudge/get on my teeth?

I say no to black lipstick. If it's done right (which it seldomly is) I suppose it's alright for an occasion.
