What is a vamp makeup look?

A dark, high-shine palette built around deep reds, plums and near-blacks, associated with 1920s and 1990s fashion photography. The gloss is essential — matte dark lips read as goth rather than vamp.

Does it change my facial features?

It is a makeup and color treatment rather than a reshaping one, so features should stay yours. Check lips and jawline in the result — heavy dark color can visually narrow a mouth more than you intended.
