Very dark lipliner. I use this with cyber, dark side, hang up, diva, ... all my dark and vampy lipsticks. Can be a bit goth but I love that look sometimes, with a neutral eye for autumn and winter.

I used this lip liner with MAC cyber lipstick. This lipliner is soft, easy to sharpen and glides on perfectly. You can use it on its own and add some gloss or with a dark plum lipstick for a beautiful sexy vamped up look. I'm an NC50, and it looks great on my skin tone.

Love this lip liner! It doesn't tug, goes on smooth, doesn't dry out my lips and I've found that I can use it under and OVER lipsticks! I blend some on top into the corners of my lips and rub together to add some dimension to my lips. It's also very on trend with the whole gothic look without looking like Marilyn Manson yippee!

Nightmoth is a beautiful darkened muted purple. It has got to be one of MAC's if not, darkest lip liners. I am a big fan of dark lips (I often use OCC's Lip Tar in Tarred -- which is straight up black). I pair Nightmoth with Tarred to make sure there is no feathering around my lip line. I also use Nightmoth to darken other lip colors, such as darkening the outer corners of my lip when using a red lipstick or a purple toned lipstick. It contours and gives my lips more depth when I am on stage. To simply put it -- I find this lip liner to suit most colors for me (except light colors of course). Nightmoth can also be used as a tool to give other lip colors dimension.


The color payoff is pigmented, the texture is just right -- not too creamy where it'll slide off your lips, but not too dry where it tugs your lips. I highly suggest that if you enjoy wearing dark colors such as myself to pick up Nightmoth.

I ordered this online and ended up going to the mall and buying Up The Amp and Girl About Town. I tried my other liners with them but I couldn't get them to look right. Today I got my Nightmoth in the mail. Perfect. It tones down the color making them very pretty and wearable for my nc50 skin. This is now a staple color for me.
UPDATE: Since getting Currant, I realized just how dark Nightmoth is. I prefer Currant over Nightmoth.

This is the only lipliner I use by MAC. Currant and Chestnut were my faves but I found myself using Nightmoth more often. I use it on it's own or with other MAC lipsticks. Highly recommended.

I got this because I like the name (how bad is that? I know) But I got lucky, this one is a winner. This is a beautiful deep color. Looks purple on the pencil but picks up some red when it goes on. I was surprised a pale person like me could make this look alright, and granted, it looks quite dramatic, but in a very. good way. I line my lip and fill a lot of it in with the pencil, then smudge a bit to even it out, looks like a smashed a patch of berries on my lips (awesome). You could also just use a bit of it for a nice healthy berry stain. I highly recommend it.

This is my HG lip pencil for deep berry or dark red lipstick. It also looks very good when BLENDED with any pinkish lip glass on my skintone. The texture goes on very smooth and I love that it still looks berry and not black once applied. I have purchased two of these so far in the last several months.

This lipliner is awesome! I love it it's rich and full of pigment, It's a dark merlot shade, that will work it deep to light cool hues. I pair this with my Interface High Shine Laquer lip polish in flirt, or my Victoria's secret Beauty Rush lip glosses.

I thought Nightmoth would be too dark on me (NW25), but I love it. It's a very deep burgandy & it looks great under a wide variety of lipsticks & lipglosses to give them depth. The pencil goes on very smoothly & lasts really well on my lips without drying them out.

I own both Nightmoth, Vino and Current. Nightmoth and Vino are similar. Nightmoth has a deeper berry feel to it. I've worn it with several different colors, my most recent experiment is with Push-up plum. I would purchase this liner again, I think I will get my money's worth. (DDD/C7)

Love this color! it's like chestnut and currant had a baby! it's a deep burgundy w/brown. it's fantastic. I've been wearing it with cultured and the two look great together. i think this is an LE so i may need to stock up on these. it's my favorite item in the madame b. collection

I love this shade! It is as others have stated a tad darker than Currant which is my other favorite. It is creamy which makes application effortless and has excellent staying power. A beautifully rich, dark berry color. UPDATE: Although I love this, I stopped buying it as I've found a cheaper alternative at Sally's Beauty Supply. Try Palladio's retractable liners in Eggplant or Black Berry for a fraction of the price.

This is a very pretty color. However, it is a little dark for my taste. Thus, I line my lips with this color and then fill them in with Oh Baby and mix the two together. Currently, I have marked that I will repurchase; but I am really on the fence about this one.

Very similar to Currant, but darker. Reminds me of the color of eggplant. I thought it would be a tad too dark but I love it. I wore it today with Oyster Girl and really liked the effect. I think I will be using this liner more than Currant. I'm a C8.

This color really is a combo of Chestnut and Currant. At a glance, it seemed that it would have been just perfect against my NC55 complexion. For some reason though, something about it made it look a little harsh on my lips and in certain lighting it looks like it's almost black and turns whatever lipstick or gloss I wear with it into a gothic color. Maybe years ago when I was into the deep dark lipline, I would have loved this. But I have moved away from that, so this just wasn't for me. Thanks to a review I read from another MUAer, I have since been using Nars' Times Square lip pencil. It is a deep plum color that has a bit more of a neutral undertone to it, so it has a softer look on my lips than Nightmoth.

So similar to Currant that I don't know if I can justify keep it. There is a slight difference between the two...currant is more red wine colored whereas nightmoth is more berry purple hued...but swiped side by side they are very, very close in shade. I'm still on the fence with this one. ETA: Nightmoth has quickly become my HG lip pencil. It's so versitile that I can incorporate it with purple/pink lipstick and glosses and even more reddened sahdes like V-Red lipglass without changing the color. I <3 it!
