There is a place where gothic meets its pretty antithesis, and make-up magic happens. Discover your dark(ish) side.
Model Steffi Soede embodies the subverted goth in the October issue beauty shoot. Soft, perfectly pretty and painterly whilst edging on the dark side. A deep reverse smoke, displaced liner, spider-lashes, a blood-red velvet lip and effervescent ghostly skin.
See the products we used to create the modern gothic beauty looks in the October issue, and watch Steffi bring them to life here. You're on board? This autumn/winter is about throwing some shade on your usual beauty proceedings.
