Matching the new fashion for leather, lace and lots and lots of dark black tones, comes the beauty trend for grungey makeup and hair.

It may not be a look for the working day, but at night it can be vampy and ultimately cool.

It’s easy to get into the mind set of a grungey-girl. It’s all about looking like you just rolled out of someone else’s bed, so slept-in make-up is a great route to getting that authentic edge, but not particularly great for your skin.Instead, work with lots of black makeup in plenty of textures — gloss, cream, pencil and powder will create a great dimension when used together.

Smear the textures across lids and close to the lash line. Don’t obsess over a neat application, the messier the better. you want that wild and carefree style.
