Beauty addicts worldwide are calling this look "Coffin Couture". Even Jemma Kidd has a makeup class called Coffin Couture Masterclass. Goth has gone from scary to super-sexy this fall, ranging from all types of blacks to plums to deep reds. The look has nothing to do with endangering your body with piercings and tattoos, though. Instead, it's all about dark colored lips, eyes and nails with a contrasting pale cheek. Here are a few products for you to check out. How does this ghost-gone-glam trend strike you?
Nars Single Eye Shadow in Night Fever ($21) is a black powder eyeshadow flecked with red pearls. The combination actually makes it a very deep, dark and powerful purple.

Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Plump Perfect Lipstick in Perfect Currant ($21.50) is a deep black cherry creamy color lipstick made to plump up your pout to the Bauhaus-listening extreme!
Jessica Nails Vinyl Vixen Metallic Shimmer Deep Burgundy Custom Colour Nail Polish ($6.50) is a deep wine color that borders on a maroon/red if you apply two coats. Doesn't it look just like blood?

I like dark eyes and nails! Especially for fall, when the warmer darker colours are coming out!
1is sophia bush supposed to be on this list?? her makeup doesn't look dark or morbid at all...
2I've always sported the goth-esque look, and people have a tendency to get the wrong idea when it comes to black eyeliner and nail polish and the like, and assume it's so "emo", but it's anything but that nowadays. It's good to see this look on even the most sophisticated of women. It all depends on how much you use. Mandy Moore looks really awesome.
3my nails are ALWAYS painted black.. like LC!!
4I'm loving this look. I've already been into dark nail polish, but I'm excited to try darker cheeks & eyes.
5I dig the look, it's tough and sexy
6definitely a look for fall!
7i agree with ask me to stay...
i could do the nails but that's about it...
8I like the dark blue and plum polishes, the first look above is nice too. The rest I don't care for.
9I only get away with dark makeup on the weekends. My work has a problem with it.
10That chick in the middle is scary!
11I love it! I've worn black polish on my toes but got some goofy looks. Don't care though - it looks good! The girl in the middle looks a little too much "Adams Family like".
12I love Sophia Bush's nails and I don't think it looks morbid. Now Mandy Moore on the other hand looks like the walking dead! And the girl in the middle looks like a skeleton with eyeliner. Geez I'm judgemental!
13I love this look. Glad to see Hollywood girls are latching onto it...this look really went well in the black and white pictures. Hopefully, pale will be in next.
I'm sick of being told to get a tan.
14I don't care for the goth or almost dead look. Yuck.
15i LOVE IT!! it's rare that i ever do anything like that but i think i love it only because my inner child is a little goth girl running wild. hahaha
16Love Sophia's look, love the non-orange fake tans like most of Hollywood, they all look great!
17Love this look! Being a pale-face myself, I'm happy to see the non-tan trend emerge.
18I can handle dark eyes and nails, but that's it.
19I was all about the dark lipstick and dark eye makeup in my late teens.
20Don't think I'll try it again anytime soon, though. I'm incredibly pale, so it makes me look like a vampire. You wouldn't believe how many times people have started humming the Addams family theme when they see me.
I can't do dark lips. I already have pretty big lips & they really don't need any more attention. I'll just stick with the dark nails and eyes.
21I am not loving the dark lips, but I'm digging the nails. The eyes could go either way depending on how thick you lay the dark liner on.
22I think that this look is good in moderation--pick one thing to highlight--nails, lips, or eyes.
23I love black nails and liner but I really don't like dark lips on light skin.
24i like the nails dark but my make up ...no no i like lookin' natural...
25I think it's neat-looking, although I'm too old to rock it now. *pout*
26Sophia looks beautiful. I tend to love Mandy's style but this is doing nothing for me. It just doesn't suit her features.
27HA I wish pale skin would come in vogue as well! I am so not getting skin cancer to be fashionable. I LOVE these looks though including the dark lipstick. I've already added several shades of dark lipstick and eyeshadow to my already huge collection. I already have a plethora of black/plum/wine nail polishes so I am VERY excited that it is still in style... although I would still rock it out anyways!!
28I'm not one for super dark red lipstick, but I do love smoky eyes.
29Mandy's make-up seems a bit off on her. The girl in the center is downright scary.
30i love the contrast of dark colors and nudes!
31I don't see how Sophia's look is morbid.
32I have that Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lipstick and absolutely love it! It actually stays on all day and comes in so many fun beautiful colors! I highly suggest it!
33I love dark nail polish and eyeshadow, but dark lipstick doesn't really look good on me, my mouth is pretty small and it almost disappears behind it!
34love dark colors!
