She is best-known for playing an all-American cheerleader in the musical-comedy Glee.

But Dianna Agron looked more like a sultry Goth as she modelled a range of dark and grungy makeup looks.

The star looked especially alluring in a deep burgundy lipstick as she starred in a fashion shoot for US beauty website Byrdie.

The 27-year-old actress made a statement of her lips with the bold colour, while she kept her eyes almost nude and sported dramatic dark eyebrows.

She confessed to the website that she would not make such a bold makeup statement everyday.

She said: ‘I would only wear dark lipstick like this on a very special occasion. And be prepared to not be kissed all night!’
