Not only trick or treating but you will be rocking a look that you must have desired for so long now. Don't worry, we'll tell you what you have to put on your skin!

Dark Gothic Look

Many people do go with this look just to feel what exactly is the demeanour of the whole "Gothic culture". Popular in the 1980s – this era gave a re-birth to some of the most prominent Gen-X punk bands; the by-product of which was the Gothic Era. The makeup that went with it was quite phenomenal with all the dark and bold tones.

Sisley So Curl N°2 Deep Black

From the realms of a French luxury cosmetic brand founded in 1972 – this deep black mascara will provide the intense volume that you need. As far as the gothic look goes – the blacker your eyes are; the more demonic you will look and that is what will make eyes turn on you. Your eyelids might be pointy or curved but try to add as much volume to them as possible.

Givenchy Le Rouge Night Noir Lipstick

Another luxury fashion house dealing with cosmetics might be the one for you – Givenchy. Most fashion heads will be aware of this brand but for the rest of you – Givenchy is also a French luxury conglomerate founded in 1952 in Paris. The second most important area after the eyes are the lips if we talk about the face. We have chosen this particular lipstick because it blends the shade of black with a pinch of glamour. If you want – you can also go with some light face colour but remember not to overdo it.

Estée Lauder Infinite Waterproof Eyeliner

This time France might get disappointed because we have an American fashion mogul on the list who is deep-rooted in the cosmetics industry since 1946. Talking about the need for eyeliner, it will strengthen the effect of the already applied mascara. We have chosen the mascara for its deep texture and due to the element of being waterproof. You can also give a half-face burnt or a wider mouth look by using your creativity and hand-drawing something on your face – but hey, just a suggestion.

The Fairy Tale Look

Not everyone is in for the dark gothic vibe but people also like to look like they are straight from heaven. The fairy tale look can be customised as per you and the final result might be astonishingly good. Here are some products that you can try to achieve that with!

Shiseido Aura Dew- Face, Eyes, Lips

What we have gathered from seeing Hollywood movies is that Angels emit a lot of light – as they can blind you. Founded in 1872, Shiseido is one of the oldest cosmetic conglomerates operating to date. The Aura Dew by this cosmetic mogul might be the only thing you need to get that glittery glow on your face, eyes, and lips. Apply this highlighter for extensive illumination and vibrant texture.

Guerlain KissKiss Limited Edition Lipstick

We were just talking about Shiseido being amongst the oldest brands but Guerlain leaves no space with it being discovered in 1828. Can you imagine a cosmetic brand reaching the age of 200 years? Well, it seems like Guerlain has no stopping. Along with being light and vibrant – this KissKiss limited edition lipstick portrays the true heavenly colours of an angel. Along with the lipstick, you can also apply a glittery lip balm.

Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette Green Lights

With the heritage attached to the royal highness – Charlotte Tilbury might be new to the luxury cosmetics industry but for sure has some weight to its name. It was founded in 2013 by British makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury. We have chosen this green palette because along with the white dew and pink lipstick – we are going with light green hair with olive green highlights. To go with it – you can combine the tones of golden, dusty green, and olive green for that splendidly blending eyeshadow.

Makeup might be a controversial area to dive into but as deep as you go – the more confident you might know that some people love it so much.
