Gothic Rock Band Member Inspired Make Up

Your Make Up Wipes will hate you for this!

Been a while since my Goth days.. Gotta admit, recreating this look did make me feel nostalgic. So I had to do a bit of research into this to remind me.. This look is loosely based on Devin Sola from the band Motionless in White. I tend to be more a fan of the slapdash and handsome side of goth rather than pretty and neat...

Description

Been a while since my Goth days.. Gotta admit, recreating this look did make me feel nostalgic. So I had to do a bit of research into this to remind me.. This look is loosely based on Devin Sola from the band Motionless in White. I tend to be more a fan of the slapdash and handsome side of goth rather than pretty and neat...

Instructions

  1. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 221227 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b215920.bmp

    Use a white face paint (I’m using BLANC DE CLOWN BY SNAZAROO) to pale yourself up. The idea is to make yourself look pale rather than pure white, so don’t go overboard

  2. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 221308 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b215946.bmp

    Then intensify the white in your highlight parts of the face – your forehead, cheekbones, nose and chin

  3. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 221349 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b220014.bmp

    Use a buffing brush (I’m using the one by REAL TECHNIQUES) to buff it in – the aim is to make it look natural and not painted on…. Well, as natural as possible! :)

  4. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 221428 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b220053.bmp

    Eyebrows – use a black to contrast your very pale skin. I used the black cream liner by RIMMEL LONDON and filled in my brows

  5. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 221714 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b220148.bmp

    A technique I recommend for a gothic eye look is to use a red lip pencil.. Because it helps to give a grunge –esque feel to it. I used GASH LIP PENCIL BY URBAN DECAY. Apply this all over the lid and on the bottom lash line

  6. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 221729 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b220221.bmp

    Use an eyeshadow brush to blend the red done and make it look really messy

  7. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 221812 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b220413.bmp

    Use a mixture of different colours to create depth to the eyes – I used both QUITE NATURAL PAINT POT BY MAC and SCENE EYESHADOW BY MAC

  8. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 221846 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b220508.bmp

    For contour – because it’s quite an OTT contour I think there’s nothing wrong with adding a touch of colour. I decided to go with a blue to contrast with the warm red in my eyes. I used BLUE VELVET SHADOWCREME BY ESTEE LAUDER

  9. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 221912 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b220606.bmp

    Apply a black eyeliner to your water line – I used SUPERSHOCK BY AVON

  10. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 222005 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b220705.bmp

    Add your black eyeshadow to your lid area – push it on to increase intensity and then blend outwards

  11. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 222039 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b220721.bmp

    Add the black liner (that you used for your eyebrows) to your lash line

  12. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 222118 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b220735.bmp

    Apply lots of mascara

  13. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 222324 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b220839.bmp

    Apply a dark lipstick – I’m using KITTENISH BY MAC

  14. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 222348 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b220924.bmp

    OPTIONAL – paint your neck with the black face paint…. This is optional ofcourse! :). Sometimes I see gothic band members do this to bring out their faces more

  15. Small 114200 2f2016 05 08 222511 fullscreen%2bcapture%2b08052016%2b221045.bmp

    Improvise with some marks on your face

    Back comb your hair – et finito!
