This year, the makeup trends that should be very popular will certainly be Castlecore or Cherry-coded. But, some unbeatable ones, like smoky eyes or eyeliner, will not be left out.
The Castlecore
This retro trend is inspired by medieval codes to give a gothic look that is back in fashion this year. This make-up will particularly highlight your eyes and mouth, which will stand out even more thanks to the contrasts between the pale complexion and the pronounced eye and lip makeup.
How to achieve it?

- Work on your eyes using charcoal shades: black, taupe or dark brown.
- Apply an intense red or garnet lipstick to highlight your lips. You can also apply your makeup in a gradient way to give more volume to your lips, ideal as a thin lip makeup
- Finally, you can finish your look by putting black polish on your nails for an ultra-glamorous gothic effect.
