Fancy being the dark angel tonight at the party? Or how about being the seductress temptress? You may have taken all the pains to conjure the right ensemble and the style of shoes, accessories et al., but what about the makeup? To accentuate the gothic personality, you need to have the right gothic makeup done.

How, you ask. Read this post, we say!

Total Risque:

Gothic makeup is chic, trendy, and risqué to say so, a project you have to doll up in with utmost care. There are many for whom gothic makeup would be the norm, but for some it could be a secret les affaire or a fetish to say so! But in this day and age, everyone wants a little fun too, which is why gothic makeup can be seen at parties, theme events and more.

Crucial Aspects Of Gothic Makeup:

Welcome to the dark loving makeup styles, so gothic yet sexy. Here are the aspects you need to perfect to look the part.

  1. The goth staple would be the white face, basis that the makeup routine follows. The face needs to look slightly zombie-like, dead almost, or maybe risen from the dead. Hence, there shouldn’t be hints of tan or vibrancy on the face. Rather the face should be sans the blush
  2. You have to be committed and learn the tricks of the trade to master the art of gothic makeup whitening face effects. If you have skin that is tan to brown or dark, chances are you would have to work a little more on the gothic whitening effects.·
  3. The hard work so far would be the extra effort one would need to put into the whitening of the face to make it look ‘dead like’. The withered look is created by using the right blend of the foundation, kabuki art and translucent white powder.
  4. Choose a foundation that goes just a shade lighter than your skin tone, and not two shades light. A little rouge, very less in quantity, it should be applied on the cheekbones for a dramatic dreamy look.

Vampy Eyes:

You have got to be very creative with the eyes, and that is what brings around the gothic effect. Be very generous with the reputed eyeliner you would be using, and the darkest shades of eye shadow too. The look has to be mystical, dark and sensuous, to say the least. Experimenting with looks is what we shall advise you with, and practice would make you look perfectly goth in no time.

Bloody Lips:

Deepest shade of reds for the lips is important to use. Begin with marooning the lip lines in deep colour tones and with a lip liner in maroon. Add to this the touch of a lipstick brush to splatter the shade around. It would be best to use lip stains since they stay longer than the lipstick. To bring about a pouty blood red lip look, it would be best to use a little red glitter in the centre of the lips, before applying lipstick.

Gothic Role Play Look:

Here are the tips on how to look romantic, sassy and hot using gothic makeup.

  1. Colour the eyes with light shades, black eyeliners, and for the night, use a shiny liquid eyeliner.
  2. Shadows for the eyes should be deep pinks, reds, shimmering whites and peaches, lavender, purple or violet and plums too.
  3. The skin needs to be creamy and dewy, and for that using heavy foundation isn’t advised. Use a concealer to cover all flaws and then apply translucent loose powder.
  4. Red deep dark lips are a must for the self-respecting goth.
