Vamp 2.0
Nothing says ‘black cat energy’ (TikTok’s trending interpretation of an enigmatic personality type) more than the sharp, witching-hour lips seen on Karen Elson at Burberry. Deep shades with blue or red undertones, such as a rich plum or midnight blue, keep it from looking flat. Team with a dewy, fresh complexion for a cool, grown-up goth vibe.

If the central heating, an unbalanced diet or hormonal changes are causing your face to feel tight and dehydrated, fats (aka lipids) will help to re-plump and restore the skin barrier.
Replenish it both inside and out by consuming omega-rich fish and nuts and incorporating lipid-rich formulas (think ceramides and fatty acids) into your routine.
