It's All in the Eyes at The Gothic Shop

Regardless of anyone's personal fashion style, the part of us that expresses the most would have to be the eyes. Whether yours are blue, brown or green, perhaps somewhere in between, our eyes are not only beautiful but they express everything about us. So what better part of ourselves to dress up? There are a hundred and one different ways in which this can be done well. False eyelashes and liner are a staple part of most cosmetic bags at home, but there's only so much mascara that you can brush on! 

What about the more extravagant ways in which we can really make our peepers stand out? Why not have a go at some of these super cute ideas?

Although past times have seen the mask hiding the face, the Loto Venetian mask delicately highlights it, in particular the eye area. It's not as overpowering as it's vintage Venetian counterparts, instead the precision cut out  mask is made from a light metal that can be fixed around the face. In fact you will hardly know that you are wearing it. No need to wait until Halloween to dress in an elegant Gothic Baroque themed outfit, this is a piece that will get your eyes noticed no matter what time of the year you will wear it.
