Gothic Eye Makeup
Beside the Halloween, the gothic eye makeup is used in everyday life, too.
The gothic style is being worn since 90's. Since then, it became very popular and a lot of young people followed this style. The dominant color of gothic is black. Wearing gothic does not mean that you will always wear black and spiked jewelry, though. Gothic followers are trying to look different from the other people, using their unique style. Gothic helps you to express your beliefs trough fashion sense. If you are decided to adopt this style, follow the next steps.
Beside black, gothic style is also represented by dark shades of blue, purple and deep red. Not only dark colors represent the gothic style. You can apply white powder, lighter than your skin nuance, to obtain a pale look. If you have a dark skin nuance, apply a foundation that is two shades lighter than your tone. When applying it, make sure you blend it into your hair and jaw lines. For a long-standing makeup, cover your lips and eyelids with powder, so that it will a base for lipstick and eye makeup. If you want a slim face, sculpt it with a darker color. Do not forget to blend! After that, apply a dark color to your cheek bones.
To give your eyes a gothic look, apply some black bold compliments, using liquid eye liner. Though, if you are not too handy, I recommend you to use a glossy pencil liner. Both of them have advantages and disadvantages. Eye pencils are used especially for their rapidity and easiness when applying. An important drawback is the fact that they are not very resistant and can smudge, so you will have to apply it again. The liquid eye liners are recommended for those who have experience in applying makeup. Its disadvantage is that if it gets wet, will smear and look bad. Whichever of these methods you will use, make sure the eyeliner is thick, bold and heavy.
You can use some color too. Applying deep purple or silver will make your eyes look nice.
In the end, you can apply a set of fake eyelashes.
The lipstick is also very important. A black one is hard to find, so you should wear a deep red. If you still want a darker color, mix some black with a clear gloss. On this line, you will get a perfect black lip color.
Even if mostly, gothic girls are wearing red and black combination, you should wear colors you feel comfortable in to represent your style. Moreover, the places where thick or thin lines should be applied are up to you.
