The Goth culture is all about appearance.Makeup is just one of the features that make up a Gothic look.Gothic makeup can be pretty.
Step 1: A foundation that is two shades lighter than your skin tone is a good choice.
The skin of most goths is almost white and pale.You need a good foundation to act as a base for your makeup.It looks like you are wearing a white mask if you choose a foundation that is two shades lighter than your skin tone.If you have a darker complexion, look for a foundation that is two shades lighter than your natural skin tone and also buy white makeup press powder to apply over it.This will give you an ethereal, grayish skin tone without looking like you are wearing a white mask.SPF is often contained in makeup primer.Primer helps to make your makeup last longer.The primer that you wear will help to give you a more pale look, as the sunscreen will prevent your skin from tanning.
Step 2: Pick up eyeshadow that is dark.
The goth look may be dark, but you can still have fun with your eye makeup.Dark shades of eyeshadow include black, purple, blue, and red.If you want to create a more dramatic appearance, you can use deep colored eyeshadow to go over your eyeliner.Goths play their eye shadow and lip color at the same time.Think about how your eye shadow selections will complement the lipsticks you buy to create a total goth look.
Step 3: If you're new to eyeliner, try a black pencil.
If you're new to using eyeliner, you might want to try an eyeliner pencil first.You can adjust any mistakes with a Q-tip dipped in water or the edge of your finger.If you want to avoid eyeliner getting all over your face, look for eyeliner pencils that are labeled long lasting and non smudged.Rather than a goth look, this would be a racoon look.You can smudge with a Q-tip if you use a smoky or smudgy KAJAL eyeliner.
Step 4: If you are good at applying eyeliner, go for black liquid eyeliner.
If you want to try something new or if you have used liquid eyeliner before, look for black eyeliner.Liquid eyeliner creates a more defined line around your eyes and will stay on throughout the day.If you tend to sweat or have water in your eyes, consider getting waterproof eyeliner.This will make sure the eyeliner stays on your eye lid and doesn't get on other areas of your face.
Step 5: Get mascara that is black.
Black mascara is a must for the goth look as it will make you look more sexy.If you want to give your eyes an extra shot of dark color, go for black mascara.If you're into playing with color as part of your goth look, you may want to look for mascaras that are blue or red.These tones can be applied to your bare lashes or put on top of black mascara for a unique goth look.
Step 6: Lipstick can be found in dark shades.
The goth look is incomplete without dark lips.While pure and simple black lipstick can look great, you can also play around with darker shades like maroon, dark red, or dark purple.You can change the shades of lipstick you wear depending on your mood.You can use the lipstick colors to compliment your current goth look.
Step 7: Before you apply the foundation, Exfoliate.
If you want to get the slick goth look, you need to wash your skin with a cleanser and a toner.The foundation will look better on clean skin.If you want to give your skin a hydrated look, you should apply a facial moisturizer.Dry patches will not form on your skin as you wear goth makeup.
Step 8: Put sunscreen and primer on your face.
To protect your skin from damage, always apply sunscreen to your face.You should look for a sunscreen that has an SPF of at least 30.It is possible to find a primer that contains SPF so both products are in one package.You will have a pale goth like look if you use sunscreen.Use clean fingers to apply primer to your face.If you have SPF, you can put primer on your neck.
Step 9: To apply the foundation, use a makeup sponge.
Once you have a smooth surface to work on, apply a makeup sponge to your face.There are makeup sponges in the makeup aisle of a department store.It can be difficult to apply the foundation evenly with your fingers.Make sure you apply one thin layer of foundation over your skin, so that it covers areas that tend to get red, such as around your nose, between your eyebrows, and on your chin.Too much foundation on your face can lead to caking, so only apply one layer of foundation.It can make it look like you are wearing a white mask, as opposed to lightening your skin tone.
Step 10: Put the foundation in with powder.
Light face powder can be used to keep the foundation in place.The face powder can be applied using a powder pad.If you don't apply the powder to your entire face, your foundation will get streaky throughout the day.
Step 11: The eyeliner needs to be applied.
If you use an eyeliner pencil, you can line your eyes with the liner on the top and bottom of the lashes.To create a goth look, try to have a dark line around your lashes.Liquid eyeliner can be used to create more intricate eyeliner styles.For a winged eyeliner look, you may want to create smallwings that extend from your upper eyelid.If you want to do this, start with the eyeliner on the inside of your eyelid and as you move outward, gently extend it one inch past the corner of the eye.This will make you look like a vampire.If you don't like drawing the wing with liquid eyeliner, you can use the eyeliner pencil first to draw it and then use it to cover it.
Step 12: To apply eyeshadow, use a makeup brush.
If you want to give your eyes more punch, you can choose a darker shade of eyeshadow and apply it with a makeup brush.You can use eyeshadow to make your goth look more unique to you.You can apply a purple eye shadow to your lower lid and then use black eyeshadow on your upper lid.This will make your eyes look dark.
Step 13: Put on mascara.
Black mascara can be applied to your eyelashes.Curl your lashes before putting on mascara to help frame your eyes.Let it dry after putting on one coat of mascara.If you want your eyelashes to appear darker, apply another coat.If you have a lot of eyelashes, you may want to apply false eyelashes to give them more definition.If you want to put makeup on your eyebrows, use a darker brow pencil.
Step 14: Finish with lipstick.
You can finish your look with a dark lipstick.If you want to apply the lipstick directly from the tube, you can use a small makeup brush.You can use a Q-tip to remove makeup.To make the lipstick look perfect, run the Q-tip under your lips.
Step 15: Set makeup with a face mist.
To keep goth makeup looking fresh and clean, use face mist to keep it in place.In the beauty aisle you can find face mist.If you live in a hot climate, the mist is great for keeping your skin hydrated.
