Pastel Goth: The Unexpected Halloween Trend You Need to Try

Who says Halloween has to be all darkness and drama? This season's most unexpected and stunning trend is Pastel Goth — where soft, dreamy pastels collide with dark, gothic elements to create something truly otherworldly. At LYSBeauty, we are absolutely obsessed with this look. 💜👻✨

What Is Pastel Goth?

Pastel Goth is the beautiful collision of two worlds — the soft, whimsical dreaminess of pastels and the dark, edgy attitude of gothic makeup. Think lavender eyeshadow with black liner, baby pink lips with dark eye looks, mint green with deep plum accents. It's sweet and sinister all at once.

Your Pastel Weapon of Choice

The Cause of Death Pastel Collection by Makeup A Murder is everything the Pastel Goth trend needs. Soft, beautifully pigmented pastel liquid eyeshadows that deliver dreamy color with the intensity and staying power of a bold Halloween look. 💜✨

How to Create the Perfect Pastel Goth Look

Eyes: Apply a soft lavender or mint pastel to the lid, then smoke out the crease with a deep black or plum for contrast. Finish with graphic black liner and white liner on the waterline for an ethereal effect.

Lips: Keep the lip soft and pale — a nude or pale pink works beautifully against dramatic pastel goth eyes.

Skin: Go for a porcelain, almost ethereal base with a subtle highlight on the high points of the face.

Pastel Goth Costume Ideas

This trend works beautifully for pastel witches, ethereal ghosts, dark fairies, gothic Lolita dolls, and haunted ballerinas. The contrast of soft and dark makes for incredibly photogenic, unforgettable Halloween looks.
