Spill the tea because romance is officially the OG trend, and your beauty routine is about to get extra spicy. Between the Love Hypothesis hype, Wuthering Heights coming back, and that Practical Magic 2 vibe, we’re all about the “dark-romance” aesthetic—think flushed cheeks, smudged liner, and hair that looks like you just ran through a storm. But here’s the real tea: this isn’t about shock value. It’s about feeling alive, like you’re mid-steamy scene in a book you can’t put down.
The magic? It’s all about mood. Makeup artists are ditching the “too-perfect” look for something softer, like you just kissed someone and forgot to wipe your lips. Joseph Carrillo, who’s been slaying this trend, says it’s about “cheeks flushed but not contoured, lips that look kissed.” Think Margot Robbie’s Wuthering Heights flush—soft, weathered, and totally wearable. Pro tip: Use Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush for that “I just got out of bed” glow. And if you’re into it, go full berry or oxblood—just keep it imperfect.
Hair? It’s all about that lived-in, windblown chaos. No need for straight, polished locks. Sarah Hindsgaul says it’s about texture: “Think of Cathy from Wuthering Heights or Kate from Bridgerton—hair that looks like it’s been fighting for love.” For straight hair, try mousse and a diffuser for soft waves. For curls, rake in curl cream and let it air-dry before diffusing. Bonus: A little frizz is fine, it’s part of the “I just got out of a fight” vibe.
The biggest difference between goth and dark romance? Skin tone. Goths are all about cool, pale tones, while dark romance leans into warmth and glow. It’s like the difference between a vampire and a girl who just had a hot date. And eyes? Skip the harsh liner. Carrillo says “fluttery, flirty” is the goal—soft liner, smudged edges, and lashes that look like they’re trying to be dramatic but failing.
