Summer’s lease hath all too short a date. The west wind starts to bring the long-hoped coolness back to the northern hemisphere. Although fall is still several weeks away, it’s never too early to think about what to wear on the days when we can mix and match. Are you tired of digging out your hand-me-downs and resuming your last autumn ensemble? Before hurrying to shop, let’s see what inspiration we can draw from street style in Scott Schuman’s camera.

  • Fashion is a loop


Vintage can never go out of date. A foolproof styling in the 60s is to opt for monochrome and plain items; they will look after themselves! Instead of going with suit pants, choose a pair of jeans to lend instant casual appeal to your outfit. Stepping into these Piedàterre shoes is like stepping into a time machine returning to the '60s. Simple embellishments, like sunglasses and a Beanie cap, serve more than accentuating a retro outfit without feeling too overdone.

  • Fallen leaves and burnt orange, a match made in heaven


Knit cardigans are definitely a winter wardrobe essential in the transitional season. Pair the burnt orange cardigan with a plaid pleated skirt and go for the schoolgirl vibes. A pair of mid-calf boots with an animal print can avoid looking too preppy. Keep it monochrome with a corresponding hue and let the patterns add an extra bit of complexity and oomph to the overall aesthetic.

  • A smiley face is the most natural embellishment


Swap for a knit bodycon one-piece dress to ease the costumey sense when the temperature dips. Crab a sweater to keep you snug in the days with chilly mornings and warm afternoons and make it an accessory whenever your moods strike. Slip on a pair of sandals to feel the coolness of fall and show off your cute pedi.

  • Paris in the rain


Embrace a woolen blazer if you are not a big fan of burrowing into oversized fuzzy sweaters. And it can be a shelter in sudden rain (but an umbrella can do better). Finish your smart look with skinny dark jeans and a pair of mid-calf boots. You can never get enough of the jeans-boots combo.

  • Keep it monochrome with a corresponding hue


A trench coat is always an evergreen staple in warm fall. Opt for a khaki trench coat and straight-leg trousers in the same color family for a perfect fall ensemble. Let your accessories stand out as the main attraction in your outfit. A silk scarf or a chain strap will be a BFF.

  • Balance dark clothing look with beige jeans


A pair of white or beige mom jeans can solve all your problems of what to pair with dark overcoats. The light shades can balance the demure atmosphere and breathe new life into your look. Square-toe ankle boots with heirloom quality are a more wearable choice for year-round styling. Apart from summer dresses, they can go well with your mom jeans for a classic Parisian look.

  • It’s OK to stay in your comfort zone of black and white


Don't underestimate the power of a black-and-white outfit. Embrace the clashing of billowing materials with tight-fitting garments to avoid dullness. Finish the look with a color-blocking scarf to keep you warm while going bare-legged.

  • Let colors burst


Don’t skimp out on mixed colors. Pick the motley items in the plain design and keep the accessories fairly minimal. It can be an easy-to-master but breathtaking look just like black-and-white. Being not total master classes, these varicolored babies are stylish enough to make a statement in your closet.

  • Head-to-toe black look: je ne sais quoi


Total black outfits can showcase your unique sense of style with the right items. Pair padded puffers with long swing dresses to complete a fab layering fashion. Accentuate your simple outfit with metallic ornaments to add up to just the right amount of polish.

  • Never too late to invest in a reversible puffer


Wear your thermal layers and wrap them up in a reversible puffer against the frigid air. Leave it unbuttoned and show off the details inside. You’d better choose a longer bottom to save yourself from hypothermia.

Summarizing...


As the vibrant leaves fade into the cool embrace of winter, your fashion journey continues to evolve. These 10 captivating fall-to-winter ensembles have woven a tale of style, seamlessly transitioning from the warmth of fall to winter colors to the chic layers of winter's embrace. Whether it's the cozy knit scarves or the bold statement coats, these looks have whispered tales of sartorial finesse and unspoken elegance.

Dramatic, dark, and glamorous goth makeup is probably one of my favorite makeup styles to choose from. Despite being pretty unwearable (unless you are a full-time goth!), gothic makeup looks are always appealing and eye-catching. This style has the power to transform not only your eyes in a matter of seconds but a whole outfit and even your personality! Below you will find 10 breathtaking goth makeup looks, that you should try. From classic smokey eyes with colorful accents, to intricate tribal motifs – which one of these gorgeous looks will match your inner darkness?

#1. Black Smokey Eye with Purple Accent


Let's begin with the classiest of them all –  a dramatic black smokey eye with a bright purple accent in the inner corner of the eye. The blacker is your eyeshadow, and the darker will be your gothic makeup. Use an eyeshadow primer or creamy eye kohl instead of the primer to create a base for your eyeshadow. Apply the black eyeshadow and blend it on your crease, dragging the shadow a bit upwards. 

Use a pencil brush dipped in nude or gray eyeshadow to help you with the blending. The final touch – a purple highlighter on the inner corner, to give your goth eye look a twist.

#2. Crimson Eye Look with Dramatic Eyeliner


Something is tempting and irresistible about the red smoky eye look. It gives me the strongest vampire vibe, making it an excellent choice for a gothic soul. For this look, you`ll need two shades of red: a darker one for the lid, and a lighter for blending. If you don't have a lighter red, you can use nude eyeshadow or even powder. Blend the shadows, apply the boldest eyeliner you can, and add a pair of false lashes, and your crimson gothic eye look is done!

#3. Coffee Brown Smoky Eye with Black Lips


If a dramatic goth makeup look is something you are definitely willing to try, but you are not sure if you can pull it off, I suggest you start with something less challenging. Like this coffee brown smokey eye paired with a black matte lip. 

Brown shades look more natural on the skin, and you won't have any trouble blending them together with nude, orange, and gray shades. Apply coffee brown eyeshadow, blend it, and add some eyeliner. A dramatic and bold lip look will complete this stunning goth makeup.

#4. Gothic Green Eye Makeup with Glitter


It is time to be bold and adventurous, as the next makeup look is otherworldly! Certainly, it is not for beginners and demands some practice to be executed neatly. The two main complications here: are the wing-like shape of the green matte eyeshadow and the glitter on the lid. You'll need a special glitter primer to make your gothic sparkles last longer on the eyelid. Pair your goth eye look with black or maybe dark-green matte lips and you are done!

#5. Aesthetic Gothic Makeup with White Eyebrows


For the melancholics out there I found this dark aesthetic makeup look. Just like a previous gothic look, this may demand some serious makeup skills and extra supplies: thin chains, lash glue, white paint, concealer, and a pair of black circle lenses. 

Use a thin brush with matte red eyeshadow or blush to create a blushed contouring around your nose, lips, and under the eyes. A few thin chains that look like tears will decorate the look and black circle lenses will make your eye look bigger and sadder.

#6. Neon Pink Gothic Eye Look with Long Lashes


The next look is definitely a mixture of glam, goth, and Barbie. It is both cute and dangerous! If you have a neon pink hair color it will look twice as striking. Apply pink eyeshadow, and blinding highlighter to the brow bone and inner corners, and line your eyes with black eyeliner. 

The main feature of the look should be long, curled false lashes. For the lips – glossy black lipstick. I have a few useful makeup tips for you that will help you to pull the dark lipstick offHow do you like this neon pink goth look?

#7. Cool-toned Goth Makeup Look with Blue Lips


Cyber goth anyone? I love the way this makeup looks. It is pretty low-key, but, paired with icy-blue lenses, it reminds me of the Snow Queen somehow. You know, the one from the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. An icy, goth look is definitely provided by the dark-blue, slightly dusty lip look, which you can achieve by applying eyeshadow to your lips. Keep the shadows and mascara on the top eyelid to give this goth look extra crispiness.

gothic woman with a Daring Tribal Eyeliner and Soul-eater Lips makeup look

#8. Daring Tribal Eyeliner and Soul-eater Lips


I don't know how about you, but I always loved the Wiccan aesthetic. This gothic makeup look with intricate tribal eyeliner reminds me of warpaint or pagan motifs. This is a high-level makeup, for sure. To create the most accurate and neat lines like this, you'll need a lasting black eyeliner, it is better to opt for liquid eyeliner. A couple of thin synthetic brushes will help you to draw every single line beautifully. For the lips use a soul-eater lip technique, which is characterized by the smudged, freshly-kissed lip look.

goth woman with 80s gothic makeup look, crazy har and split makeup look

#9. Split Goth Makeup Look and Sharp Eyeliner


The early and mid-80s was the time when the Goth subculture emerged from the British underground. It is known as the classic Goth era and has a lot of distinguished characteristics loved and cherished by the old-fashioned goths. 

It wouldn't be fair to create this list of breathtaking goth makeup looks without including this split purple and green goth eye makeup. It was strongly inspired by the classic Goth decade and, together with the accessories and hair, created a wonderful character. Doesn't it?

goth girl with Toxic Waste Goth Makeup Look and green hair


#10. Toxic Waste Goth Makeup Look


And, finally, to wrap up this compilation, check out this acid-yellow and green gothic look with triple eyeliner and dramatic yellow contouring. I called it toxic waste, which is the name of sweet and sour candy. The key to this look is blending and highlighting. It creates a very special, radiant glow on the skin. A sharp eyeliner with weird yellow lenses will make you look like an odd creature from another plant. Would you dare to wear this gothic makeup look?

Let's wrap up...


Do you feel inspired after this makeup compilation? Because I surely am! The allure of Goth makeup lies in its shadows and secrets. The possibilities for creative makeup enthusiasts are endless. Dive deeper into the world of the macabre, and discover the endless depths of your own dark beauty. Good luck with the brush!
