Black Magic: The BEST Dark Makeup

Halloween can bring out the goth girl in anyone.
Right now, we’re lovin’ the drama of ultra-dark shades.
From midnight nails to jet lashes, these inky hues are perf for nights when you wanna go for full-on glamour.

Don’t be tricked: This liner looks pure black, but goes on a li’l purple (not to mention shimmery). Rim your lids and then smudge it with a Q-tip for our fave noir eye of the moment.

Don’t wanna go all-out black on your eyes? Shades of gray are flattering on everyone and way hot this fall. Add black mascara and bat those lashes, babe!

Black tips are tops. Splash ebony polish on short nails and finish with a matte or shiny top coat, depending on  how ya feel. A layer of silver glitter looks awesome, too.



Confession: We just can’t get into the Sharpie-black lip trend. Instead, we’re smitten with Clinique’s Black Honey gloss. It works with all skin tones (seriously!) and just dabbles on the dark side.

Gilt your lashes with a bit of glitter. Pass on regular mascara for a minute, and try a starry one instead. Sparkly mascara looks amazing with pewter shadow and natural lips.
