Makeup goes to the Dark Side

Everyone has to admit that their winter look is verging on the slightly paler side than the summer months, but this is perfect for the current makeup trend right now: Romantic Goth! Oh yes, think deep dark colour from reds, to black, to plums, these three colours should be seen on both your lips and eyes, with one golden rule - one at a time!

Gianfranco Ferre

Nina Ricci

Either opt for a big bold lip like the models at Nina Ricci or deep dark Gothic eyes such as the makeup seen at the Gianfranco Ferre runway. With this trend, you have to ensure that you keep the rest of your makeup minimal to make your Romantic Gothic colour POP! To soften the look, add a pink blush to contour your cheeks and pale pink shade to your eyes or lips, depending on which facial feature you wish to enhance with this bold trend. Take Inspiration from these images from the Catwalk:
