I have always had a soft spot for edgy beauty. Dark lips, smudged liner, dark nails so when I started seeing whispers of vampire romantic creeping into 2026 trend forecasts, I was instantly all in. With movies like 2025’s popular Frankenstein, and upcoming movies Wuthering Heights and Dracula coming out next month, gothic beauty is stepping back into the spotlight, this time with a modern, glossy twist. Dark nails in jet black, oxblood, and deep burgundy set the tone, polished with high-gloss finishes rather than punk edge. Eyes follow suit with smudged, lived-in smoky makeup, swapping sharp lines for softly blurred charcoal, wine, and blackened brown tones. Lips turn glossy and dramatic, with black cherry, blood red, and deep berry shades. Tied together with romantic goth hair this trend is all about being haunting yet beautiful. I pulled some of my favourite vampire romantic themed CAS from the vault to get your Sim vamp ready.
