The huge runway trend for fall had a heavy gothic influence and what is happening in clothing has made it to the face. Major beauty companies like Yves St Laurent with its limited edition Beaute' Pur Lip Gloss and MAC have introduced goth inspired black make up that is flying off the beauty counter. MACs' Style Black collection has a couple of different lipsticks and glosses to choose from. You can decide how dark you dare in the application from a sheer color wash that gives a hint of night to a full ebony pout with hints of a deep dark plum.
If you want to try a little black on the face it takes a little bit of fearlessness so you don't end up looking like an extra from a Marilyn Manson video shoot. Keep everything else simple and pull one aspect out you want to feature. A black lipstick or gloss can look really chic on an otherwise understated face and I love Sally Hanson's nail polish "Pat on the Black" on a short squared off nail. If you are hearing the siren call of beauty and want to jump on the gothic black trend like a makeup loving fashionista, just make sure you have some color on your face somewhere- A swirl of blush and a warmed up cheek will take away Tim Burton's corpse bride effect and not have anyone checking your wrist for a pulse.
