Is there any current creature more sultry than the vampire? From the dazzlingly romantic vamps in Twilight to their more primal cousins in HBO's hit show Trueblood, vampire popularity has risen to a fever pitch, and everybody wants a piece.
Vampire novels flood the bestseller list, vampire flicks bring flocks to the box offices, and most noticeable of all, vampire fashions are hitting both streets and runway.
Think lace and leather, gothic romance with a modern edge. Pearly skin, soft bruised cosmetic shades and an infusion of mystery.
Cosmetics guru Napoleon Perdis discusses how to achieve the look of the glamorous undead in a recent American Salon blog, telling aspiring vampettes to embrace the un-tanned skin you're in, experiment with rosy blush and edgier shades, and to avoid anything too literal - the vampire of today is sexy and elegant, which means you shouldn't look like you're channeling Elvira.
Don't forget to shop UrbanMinx for the latest Napoleon Perdis products, prime for perfecting your vamped-out look with porcelain foundations and edgy brights.
