Omg YESS! First I lined my lips, then carefully filled in my lips. Ritual stayed in place, did not flake/crack/smear/fade nor get patchy. My lips felt just fine, soft and hydrated, all of my work shift in a pizzeria, and only at the end did the corners of my bottom lip get funky.
This is without a doubt the best black I've ever used, the formula is insane!
