Try to dab Cyber on lightly with your finger- that usually works for me over smearing a har to work with color straight from tube. Some other colors to suggest for dark women Rebel Craving Viva Glam 1-4-5 Creme in Your Coffee Taupe Pink Noveau Dunbonnet

I personally could not make Cyber work for me and ended up swapping it away. In hindsight, I would have tried to apply it extremely lightly with a gloss on top. Glosses that come to mind to try (all MAC): Blackfire Glimmerglass (L/E), Lustrewhite Lustreglass, Boys Go Crazy Dazzleglass (L/E?).

I'm NW50 and I wear all kinds of MAC lipsticks, I have at least 50 including Myth and Snob and I make them work for me. If a color is "too light" for me, I use a lip liner. It's equivalent to using a transition color when blending eyeshadow. With the right lip liner, I make every shade of lipstick that I like work for me.

Awww damn! LOL. Have you tried putting a bit of concealer lighter than your skintone on your lips? I hope you can get it to work for you because it's such a gorgeous color.
