I think if you use the cheap ones, your lips will really turn into black. Not only that the lipstick makes your lips black, but also some other factors.The 1st factor is the food that you eat and the drinks that you drink. This will also add in turning your lips black just like the coffee. Actually I really do not know if it has cure now. 2nd is too much sun, so whenever you go out, always make sure that you wear lip balm with spf, it can help you in little ways. Last I think is smoking. Smoking can really make your lips dark or black that is why, always refrain for smoking. For quiting smoking, you can save your life, the life of others and your lips from getting dark. Also do not forget to moisturize your lips.

If you use cheap ones, it will make your lips black. I use a certain lip gloss that contains licorice. It will turn your lips pink.

Wow I sure hope not. Our skin cells constantly shed off. So I would think for it to dye your lips, especially such a dark color as black, you would have to use a very dark color like every day from the time you are 12 until old age. I am glad I only wear gloss. Gloss stays on top of the lips and doesn't absorb much into them.
