we love the "ethereal goth" look sarah lucero created for alice + olivia's fall 2012 collection.  not only did the look combine some of our favorite new products, but it was also bold and beautiful at the same time.  here are some tips to recreate this runway look in your own bathroom.

-keep the skin light and velvety, allowing the color products to stand out.  stila's HD beauty balm is the ideal starter product, creating a flawless canvas for makeup.  apply it all over the face and use a concealer where you need more coverage.

-dare to be bold on your lips with stila's daring long wear lip color.  for more intensity on your lips, mix the product with black smudge pot.

-the darkest eyes can be achieved with our new smudge crayon in black.  line your eyes first.  then soften where needed with ebony eye shadow.  finish with 2 coats of mascara.
