Goth Make Up Tips:

1. Whiteface should create the illusion that you really are that pale, and not that you have a bunch of makeup from ajoke shope caked all over your face. Use a good base: DreamTone Foundation. If you have dark skin, don't try to do whiteface unless you're going for a very stylized harlequin look or are willing to put makeup on all exposed skin areas. Try using a base just one or two shades lighter than your own colour, and then put white powder over it. This will give you an ethereal, almost grayish cast.

After spending money on our decent base, take the trouble to apply it evenly. Don't overlook something so basic and vital to the entire aesthetic. Equally bad and unfortunately as common is the tendency to overpowder and to end one's pallor at the jawbone.

2. On the subject of eyeliner, liquid is better (Manic Panic 'Dreamliner' liquid eyeliner), but if your hands shake, by all means use our pencil instead. Do something original with your eye makeup.

3. Find a shade of lipstick not everyone else is wearing. We have a variaty of really deep shades (example Tramp, Black Rose). Apply it with a lip brush for a more precise and severe effect.

4. Strive for originality in your costume. For those doing vintage looks, realize that both the eighteenth century and the Victorian era have been done to death. The Twenties, Thirties, and Forties are largely untapped by Goths and have great potential. One could dress as an emaciated, opium-addicted flapper from the Aleister Crowley set or pose as the Black Dahlia, a would-be actress from the Forties whose gimmick was that she dyed her hair black and would wear only black clothing; her ghastly mutilation and murder remain unsolved to this day. Also remember that black is not the only color. Deep blues, grays, and greens, as well as blood-red, purple, and ivory, can be equally striking - see our page on Rose Mcgowan.
