Fall-Winter 2009 Goth Makeup Trend

September 26th, 2009 // Seasonal Makeup Trends

MAC Style Black

For Fall/Winter 2009, it’s gothic elements that define this season’s wardrobe and makeup looks. Leather, lace, spikes, and buckles, along with sooty, blackened makeup looks give you a dark edge. The keyword here is sultry rather than scary -  a little lace here, some black gloss there – and you’re doing “goth” well. Add some sparkle to glam up the night.

Black Lips

When going for a full-on black lip, pick a creamy lipstick or gloss versus a matte lipstick to soften the look.

  • MAC Creamsheen Lipstick in Black Knightcreamy true black – $14
  • Illamasqua Lipstick in Pristinematte black – $20

Alternatively, layer black lip gloss over another lip color of your choice for a blackened lip that’s not too intense.

I’ve just ordered the Illamasqua black lipstick above (Pristine) and I will definitely post a FOTD once I receive the shipment.

Basic Blacks
