Gothic inspiration: The Black lipstick Trend

Lancome’s new artistic director for makeup, Aaron de May, has created

 a  limited set edition  that’s scheduled to launch in November.

The set, which is inspired by a pair of Louboutins includes 

a red lipstick (Pita Red) and a sparkling lip gloss in Black (Piha Black).

You can wear the products separately or slick the lipgloss on

 over the lipstick to achieve a multi-dimensional dark lip.

Also in mid-september, YSL Gloss Pur Black is described as  a sparkle-free

 lipgloss that’s “transparent, yet intense.”

This gloss was wore in Yves Saint Laurent: Fall 2008 Ready-to-Wear: a very classic and elegant look

 with white skin and black lips from the gothic look inspired by

 Louise Brooks haircut, Punk-Rock and Batcave make-up.

On a Goth website vampfangs.com, you can find the true matte punk shade

 with the affordable Manic Panic Raven Black Lipstick ($6.95).

One of myspace friend the lovely and elegant Euridice is a great source of inspiration.

I love her pale skin look with black retro eyes mixed with vampire burgundy inspiration.

Her look is definitively more modern them the goth black eyes.
