Lookbook #8 – Gothic Aristocrat

I’m a fan of colour, and I love seeing colour used in atypical scenarios. So when I discovered this deliciously black lipstick, I knew I had to do a Lookbook entry with it! (And perhaps a photoshoot?) Black lipstick is so often associated with goth or grunge culture, so I tried to throw a different spin on it. And honestly I can see black lipstick being worn in normal social situations, I think it all comes down to how one would dress everything else up to compliment it.

I wish the orange would have shown up more, despite putting stacks of it on, in some photos you can see just barely see it 🙁 At least now I know what pigment colour I need to purchase on my next makeup order! I think I really should have used some false lashes for this look too~
