Valentino's Pre-Fall Beauty Is The Goth Holiday Makeup Inspiration We Need

Bring on the red liner!

Yesterday afternoon, Valentino showcased its breathtaking Pre-Fall 2019 collection in Tokyo. While we drooled over the stunning display of fluttery red gowns and coats, pop art-like graphics, and Victorian-esque silhouettes, the eye looks are what really, well, caught our eye.

Legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath created what you could call the ultimate anti-holiday holiday makeup looks: a grungy variety of piercing red cat eyes.

While some models donned a swipe of vibrant red on lower lids, accenting a traditional black cat eye, others wore full vermillion wings and smokier, smudged looks. According to Vogue, these looks were actually created with PMG's own Permagel Ultra Lip Pencil in Major Red—and you know we love an unconventionally used lip liner.

To keep things weird, McGrath also made a custom matte cornflower blue lip color on a handful of models, creating an icy and dead—yet artful—effect.

Screw the glitz and glitter. This holiday season, we're opting for these goth (semi-demonic, if you must) looks.

And, we'll be pairing them with an all-red ensemble, of course.
