Dark academia is on-trend right now, especially during the colder months. It’s really easy to incorporate elements of dark academia style into any wardrobe!
Today I’m sharing my favorite dark academia makeup looks. There are pretty specific makeup elements that really make an outfit look like it belongs in a library.
So, what are the dark academia makeup trends?
The cat eye is super trendy in dark academia right now (as in many other styles). Generally, dark academia makeup is pretty muted, so keep your skin makeup pale and muted and make the eyes pop.
Dark lips are also trendy in dark academia, and a touch of red on the cheeks never hurts. Check out these inspiration photos and you’ll see what I mean!
If you’re not into the bold look, the other option for a dark academia look is totally natural. You can quite literally go as natural as you want and fit right in. I included lots of these options as well!
