GOTHIC GLAM

PLAY UP YOUR CREATURE OF THE NIGHT LOOK
 
Dark, vampy eyes and porcelain skin is the perfect look for wintery nights out on the town.

HOW TO ACHIEVE THIS LOOK

For Your Face
 
Keeping in line with the ‘nocturnal’ trend, your skin should look untouched by the sun; a pale and matte finish will allow for better contrast with your eyes and lips. Dream Matte Mousse Foundation will give you that air-brushed perfection, smoothing away imperfections.

Cheeks should be lightly dusted with Mineral Power Blush in Fresh Plum, in an angle towards the temples to create an illusion of a more defined cheek bone.

 
For Your Lips
Line your lips with Moisture Extreme Lip Liner one shade darker than your lipstick. Choose a deep berry or blood red shade of lipstick, Moisture Extreme in Royal Red or Bitten Plum will give you a very seductive pout. Before you apply the lipstick, colour in your lips with the liner for extra longevity.
 
For Your Eyes
Gothic eyes are smudged and dark, with intensely lined lids. Line both top and bottom rims with Line Express Eyeliner in Ebony Black. Slightly smudge outwards towards the temples to create a wing-like effect. The bolder the desired look, the thicker your lines should be.

For extra intensity and to set the liner, apply a charcoal or dark gray shadow from EyeStudio Venice Carnival over the liner. Blend through the crease, diffusing and softening the line. Apply under the eye as well. Shadow can be applied with a dampened sponge tip for an intense result.

Lashes have two coats of mascara on both top and bottom lashes – XXL Curl Power Mascara will curl your lashes like never before.

Frame your eyes by defining your brows, use Define-a-Brow Pencil to fill in the colour of your brow, and comb upwards and out towards your temples for shape, and to sharpen your look.
 
 
For Your Nails
Dark nails will complete your look with Express Finish 60 Second Nail Color in Onyx Rush.
