#1. The Queen of Damned


Let's begin the list with one of my favorite aesthetics, which spread its roots deep into the fashion core. I'm talking about the Gothcore and the eternal need for darkness and ethereal beauty. This particular black-and-white look resembles the fine mixture between Cruella de Vil and the Spider Queen named Lolth. I simply couldn't pass by this dark duality. What are your thoughts on it?

#2. Mischievous Pixie 


Feeling mischievous? Maybe a fairycore-inspired makeup look will be a perfect match for your playful mood? The light green and light blue eyeshadow colors remind the peaceful beauty of the forest and petite pearls and glitter give the look a reflective appearance. As a final touch add a makeup gloss over the eyes. This look is not very wearable but is definitely enchanting.

#3. Elvish Beauty


If Arwen from the Lord of the Rings skipped on her no-makeup makeup look for once, then she would probably wear something similar to the next look. Inspired by the intricate intertwining of tree branches and feathers, this elvish makeup look won't be easy to execute. However, with a little bit of makeup practice, you'll be able to nail it!

#4. Dream Girl


To tell the truth, I had never heard of dreamcore aesthetic before I started working on this post. This surrealistic theme combines all things dreamy: from the sweetest and the most innocent to dark and nightmarish. This particular girl, apparently, dreamed of unicorns and rainbows last night. I like how she added a few large, faux freckles on her nose and cheeks to make this makeup look even more trendy.

#5. Sister Siren


Of course, today's list of the most beautiful fantasy-inspired looks won't be complete without dewy mermaid makeup. Flawless skin, glossy eyes and lips, and, of course, teal-colored eyes. This fantastic look is ideal for the summer and for those of us with blue and brown eyes. Well, if you are going for the mermaidcore aesthetic look, you should definitely invest in some high-quality waterproof makeup.

#6. Just Call Me Angel


Angelcore is yet another aesthetic I have never heard about before. Obviously, it is inspired by all things angel-related like feathers, wings, clouds, and tears. Therefore, if you feel like rocking an otherworldly look and reflecting your inner peacefulness, then a pair of white wings will help you with this. Add some blue color to your eyelids to make this look brighter.

#7. Beauty in Ugly


Mushrooms, toads, and duckweed are the most common attributes of the next aesthetics – the goblincore. If you are a fan of the following things then you will surely like the weird beauty of this green and gray look. If you don't feel like losing your eyebrows for the sake of goblicore look, then you don't have to. You can simply bleach them up!

#8. Sentimental Circus


Well, the next makeup look only looks bright and happy. In reality, the clowncore aesthetics is all about the duality of a personality. Clowns can be funny at first sight, but, at the same time, they can be creepy and evil. This doesn't mean you can't create your own interpretation of the clowncore-inspired makeup look and wear it when you feel like it.

#9. Immortal Kiss


The everlasting beauty of vampire aesthetic deserves a separate chapter in the big book of art. It is elegant, and sophisticated, and combines so many old-timely elements and features. If one day you'll feel like approaching vampirecore you should start with the makeup. Black, red, and dark violet colors are usually used to resemble this aesthetic, but maybe you'll go further and incorporate other shades?

#10. Something Wicca This Way Comes


And, lastly, let's take a look at this weird, witchcore makeup look. It reminds me a bit of the warpaint worn by bandits in the Elder Scrolls universe. Wearing something like this on your face will definitely set even the shyest person into the most daring Catwoman mode. And, if anything goes wrong during the day, you can always use one of your strongest enchantments against the enemies.

Summing Up...


Fantasy makeup isn't just about the face. Let your entire look be a spellbinding transformation. Craft intricate crowns of flowers, weave shimmering threads into your hair and wear some dark aesthetic jewelry on your neck. Every detail adds to the story you're telling through your unique artistry.
