Demi Lovato has given us a lot of hits over the years — from listening to Heart Attack as teens to wallowing in the sadness of Stone Cold years later, all of us grew up, and she did too. Camp Rock turned into something that most of us re-watched because it reminded us of how simple our lives were when the Jonas Brothers hadn’t gone on a hiatus, and Sonny With A Chance offered us some respite from the heaviness of some days. Lovato has evolved as an artist throughout, and their evolution hasn’t just reflected in their music but in their approach to beauty.
While bare-faced Sonny wouldn’t have imagined entrusting her face to drama-packed strokes of eyeliner and marron-coloured lips, Demi has made experimentation in beauty a staple these days. Gothic beauty is her go-to makeup aesthetic, and it’s show-stopping. Here are some ways the style has woven itself into her looks.
Demi Lovato’s Goth Phase Says, “Sonny With A Chance, Who?”
Burgundy
Lovato punctuates their dark-lipped aesthetic with a shag-like haircut that billows around the head enormously. Poker-straight bangs dwindle right above the eyebrows — grazing them ever so slightly. A heavy smokey eye lends an edginess to the lids that’s further epitomised by a kohl-heavy under-eye. Falsies reign supreme and washes of roseate drown the cheeks in all of their show-stopping glory.
Bridezilla
Demi understood the assignment — they and their husband took inspiration from the Corpse Bride (2005), and all we can say is that their blood-splattered clothes are enough to nauseate most of us. But it doesn’t stop there. A halo of darkness encircles Lovato’s zombie-like eyes, and a gash scars the sides of their cheek painfully. The singer-songwriter’s hair looks as glorious as ever against their veil.
Wings
The shag is accompanied by a darkly-lined lip containing a shade of brown. The colour is seen on the eyes as well — accompanied by feline flicks that migrate to the inner corners of the eyes boldly. Contour-heavy cheekbones conclude the aesthetic and a tattoo peaks at us from the side of the neck.
Whimsical
Demi’s lids turn into canvases for experimentation. A slash of eyeliner goes over the upper lid through to the lower lid — further adding to the heaviness of the look.
Wet Glamm
The shag is now enjoying a wet-glamm moment and it is sultry AF.
Throwback
Maybe it isn’t a phase after all.
Like she says — what’s wrong with being confident? Demi’s clearly enjoying, and if makeup isn’t a source of experimentation, what is?
