A Flexible Feline(r)
Create the cat eyes of your dreams with Prestige Cosmetics Back to Black Liquid Eyeliner, $5.95. The flexible fiber tip applicator lets you vary your line from demure kitten eye to full-on Winehouse flick. In true feline form, this Prestige liner is also perfect for nocturnals -- its 12-hour, stay-put formula will last you well through the night.

A Pin Noir
There isn't a magic potion that instantly banishes saggy skin, but this rich night cream certainly comes close. Korres Black Pine Night Cream, $68, is infused with extract from curiously resilient Black Pine trees that have spent millions of years battling environmental stressors with the same skin-regenerating polyphenols and tannins we see in our serums. Add black tea (for brightness) and black oat extract (for moisture) into the mix and you have a night cream that firms, lifts and contours while you sleep -- an anti-aging dream come true.

An Art Deco Addition
Tom Ford Black Orchid, $75, is a seductive scent perfect for those looking to join a dark side that's less evil (Voldemort's Death Eaters) and more glamorous (think: Clara Bow). In addition to a custom-grown and super rare black orchid, this perfume contains sultry black bergamot, black currant and lives in a gorgeous pitch-black glass bottle with an art-deco feel that is just as luxurious as the scent.

A Black Sheep
Urban Decay's Perversion Mascara, $22, mascara can be summed up in three words: "Bigger. Blacker. Badder." If you're feeling intimidated by the wand's tagline, you should be. The super creamy formula and intense black color creates a daring lash look that isn't for the faint-hearted. No-makeup makeup enthusiasts need not apply.

Pitch-Black Polishes
Just look to Lorde or New York Fashion Week's runways: Goth nails have never been so fashion forward. You're free to take the former's avant-garde "dipped" take on the mani, but we'd opt for a clean, pitch-black mani that will go with your entire fall wardrobe. M.A.C. A Novel Romance Nail Lacquer in Midnight Sky, $12, for the romantics, Chanel Le Vernis Nail Color in Black Satin, $27, for the sophisticates and Butter London Nail Lacquer in Union Jack Black, $15 for the punk rockers.
