Old rose and deep crimson take on a dark dimension.
TROUBLE’S LAMENT
Red and pink look so striking against each other, yet rarely do we pair them together. Use a warm, duo-chrome red shadow as a base to amplify the vividness of the chunky rose glitter. If you’re wearing glitter on your face, make sure to use the cosmetic grade kind to keep your eyes safe from irritation.
OFF CLOUDS
The waterfall lash look has been around since the heyday of the Harajuko girls. It’s given a high fashion makeover by focusing on the lower lashes. To get the look, several coats of lash thickening mascara to give maximum definition. For a more wearable version, make sure to comb through your lashes so you get the volume minus the clump.
SLEEPS WITH BUTTERFLIES
Give the popular stained lip look a goth update by using a dark, almost black shade to give depth to your mouth. As a bonus, it can also make your lip look fuller. To capture the effect successfully, blend and shape the stain into the rest of the lip color.
