The "Black is the New Black" look focuses on using various shades and textures of black to create a visually stunning makeup design. Start by creating a flawless matte base using a high-coverage foundation, ensuring your skin is even and smooth. You can even add subtle contouring with dark greys or blacks to create shadows and add depth to your face.
Next, focus on the eyes. Smokey eyes are a must for this look, but instead of the traditional grey-to-black gradient, use a pitch-black eyeshadow with shimmer for added dimension. Blend the eyeshadow outwards to create a winged, cat-eye effect. To make the eyes stand out even more, consider using black eyeliner to create a bold line on both the upper and lower lash lines.
For the lips, you can go bold with a dark black lipstick or keep it slightly softer with a deep plum or burgundy color. Either way, the key is to stay within the dark color palette while maintaining the chic, glamorous vibe. You can also add a bit of gloss to the lips for a more dramatic finish.
To complete the look, focus on accessories and wardrobe that enhance the overall darkness of the makeup. A sleek black outfit or a long black cloak can help create the mysterious, gothic appearance you're going for. Whether you’re aiming for a vampire queen, a mysterious enchantress, or a chic villain, this look can easily adapt to fit your desired character.
