“There is no exquisite beauty… without some strangeness in the proportion.” Edgar Allan Poe


 My Autumn/ Winter 14 make-up ideas...







 There's always a fear with make up and fashion that you will fall into a stereotype. But when autumn winter comes its finally acceptable to let your gothic flare loose. 
As a teenager I was a goth/ emo/ chav/ skater/ plastic... the list is endless, I was part of them all. In fact, so were most people of my generation. The fashion was changing so rapidly. As 2013 arrived it was clear that fashion had seen a diffusion of all fashion groupings across time. Where one trend would dominate the street, now you'd see 10. 
With the help of celebrities such as Florence Welch and Prada's continuous gothic A/W collections, the once stereotyped gothic image is slowly being played with and encouraged.
As I consider the AW colours for my make up palette this season, I can't wait to explore the dark and mysterious tones, whilst popping purples and oranges. 

 "I dyed my hair red when I was ten and when I was 11 – in my goth period – I dyed it black and I was really into witchcraft. I made mini shrines in my bedroom with candles and tried to cast spells to make the boy in the next class fall in love with me. I don’t think he did"
Florence Welch
