Beauty Blog » For The Goth Girl In You, Wait... The Emo Girl In You.

I love shiny black things: shiny black heels, shiny black bangs, shiny black nail polish, shiny black tights. Hmm…Could it be the goth girl in me? Now that black is the new black, and biker chic, is well, so chic, I say hurrah for black lip gloss! I know I may not be of popular opinion and really, one couldn’t rock this look everyday but hot damn, it is just so… HOT. Could you wear it to a Kings of Leon concert? Yes! Yes! with a cropped denim jacket and fierce heels. This look debuted on Fall runways and lo and behold, when Yves Saint Laurent came out with their Pur Lip Gloss this fall, the gloss sold out immediately.

But here is what I propose: wear it as eye gloss and keep the rest of your face soft and muted. This would make it daring and pretty and be a bit more wearable if you are going for the rocker eye. That being said, eye gloss can be a hassle to wear and can slip slide about. Constant touch-ups are needed, which is kind of funny, because then you find yourself saying things like: I have to go to the little girl’s room to gloss my eyes. But hey, why not? I find the look personally smoking. Make-up artists have smeared vaseline on model eyelids forever to give it that dewy look, so why not do it with some color? Here is another tip: Rosebud Lip Salve over some neutral peach shadow. Blend. Be forewarned: It is messy, feels weird, but god, it looks like you just came breathlessly out of a meadow, looking glowy.
Also, in other news: This month, Lancome is coming out with a limited edition of Color Fever Gloss in glossy, raven black. I am such a beast for limited editions. I cannot wait till it hits stores. The gloss is for your lips as well as your peepers. Keep an eye out, girls.

Ok, and final note: I am SO loving Christian Dior’s Black Sequins Vernis ($19).

It is full of silver sparkles and is perfect for the holidays. Pair it with some innocent (or not so innocent *wink*) make-up and you will look edgy and pretty at the same time. Try it. Let me know what you think.
