Tutorial of the Week

Gothic Lolita Makeup Video. We’ve often seen many videos for sweet makeup but not a lot of gothic ones so here is one of my favorites from Michelle Phan. Unfortunately, it’s titled “Seductive Vampire” but if you skip the fangs and the contacts, this is actually a very pretty gothic look.
