Black Magic Lipstick: Black magic lipstick is a type of cosmetic product that is known for its dark and mysterious appearance. It is a popular choice for those who want to achieve a bold and edgy look. The rich black color of this lipstick is often associated with power, intensity, and sophistication.

This lipstick can create a statement look and instantly transform any makeup look.
As the culmination of three Midwestern dates that weekend (Cleveland and Chicago were the Thursday/Friday shows) the run was hot on the heels of the Stripes breakout performances at South-By Southwest earlier that month. The momentum was building. The shows were only increasing in intensity.
And the White Stripes at the Magic Stick coupled with the Gold Dollar as close as they would ever have to a home field on March 31st, 2001 is absolutely sublime. The White Stripes were always game to adjust and call audibles and pull things on the fly but once a move was so clearly perfected , well, there s a hard time breaking out of that comfort.
This lipstick can create a statement look and instantly transform any makeup look. The application of black magic lipstick requires precision and attention to detail. It is essential to prepare the lips before applying this type of lipstick to ensure a smooth and even finish.
The White Stripes Live at The Magic Stick, 2001
Hometown shows are, oftentimes, a mess. The guest list is a clusterfuck, some weirdo from high school you haven’t seen in a decade monopolizes your time, dinner springs upon you like an unwieldy beast that you’ve never had to tackle previously (despite making it work every day in your “regular” life in town). The benefit though is that the performances are so much more likely to be sublime. And the White Stripes at the Magic Stick (coupled with the Gold Dollar as close as they would ever have to a “home field”) on March 31st, 2001 is absolutely sublime.

While at this point twenty years later, the setlist is fairly in line with other Stripes’ gigs from that moment, the awkwardness of “Boll Weevil” dropping in the middle of the set will never cease to feel like a glitch in the fabric of time. So clearly is that song supposed to be a set closer. In that same mindset, “Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground” NOT kicking off a show, but tucked in the later third of the set, just smacks of a work-in-progress. The White Stripes were always game to adjust and call audibles and pull things on the fly…but once a move was so clearly perfected, well, there’s a hard time breaking out of that comfort.
A particular treat in this performance is the first and only appearance of the red-and-white Danelectro double-neck guitar. The stock clear pickguards were hand-painted red by Jack himself. With the auxiliary neck strung up in the baritone register, the axe is deployed for the “Astro/Jack the Ripper” medley followed by “The Big Three Killed My Baby”…and then never again. To hear Jack’s thoughts on it at the time, he didn’t feel like he should be doing anything that would explicitly court MORE comparisons to Led Zeppelin.
(For those keeping tabs, that guitar would show up on stage six years later ably utilized by the local Detroit garage band Tin Knocker)
I seem to recall selling copies of the Stripes Sub Pop single at the merch table on this night. Or if we didn’t…we certainly discussed the possibility of doing so. Maybe we only sold a few? For everything I remember in the past 20 years, there’s a thousand I’ve forgotten so the fact there’s a solid VHS video of the gig on YouTube is a nice accompaniment here. Enjoy.

Reviews for "The Dark Feminine Aura: Black Magic Lipstick as a Symbol of Female Empowerment"
1. Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars: I was really disappointed with the Black Magic Lipstick. The color looked amazing in the tube, but when I applied it to my lips, it looked completely different. It was patchy and had a weird texture that made it difficult to apply evenly. The staying power was also very poor, and I had to reapply it multiple times throughout the day. Overall, I would not recommend this lipstick.
2. John - 2 out of 5 stars: I was excited to try the Black Magic Lipstick because of all the hype surrounding it, but it just didn't live up to my expectations. The color was okay, but it faded within a few hours of wearing it. The formula also felt very drying on my lips and emphasized any dry patches I had. For the price, I expected a lot better quality. I won't be repurchasing.
3. Emily - 2 out of 5 stars: The Black Magic Lipstick was a letdown for me. The color looked stunning in the tube, but it applied sheer and required multiple layers to build up the intensity. Even then, it didn't last long and smudged easily. The formula felt heavy on my lips and settled into the lines, making them look even more prominent. I was really hoping for a bold and long-lasting lipstick, but unfortunately, this one fell short.
4. Mike - 1 out of 5 stars: I regret purchasing the Black Magic Lipstick. The color payoff was extremely poor, and it looked nothing like the promotional images. It also had a strange chemical scent that was very overpowering. The texture was thick and sticky, making it uncomfortable to wear. Overall, I found this lipstick to be a waste of money and would not recommend it to others.
