Make Up Games for Goth Girls


Goth girls want to look beautiful, and they can, but they need to choose their makeup wisely. Rather than smearing on the dark eye shadow and lipstick, goth girls should opt for a more attractive look in the classic gothic style. The original gothic style was a period of darkness with polished women of old with fair skin, dark eyes and often dark red lips. The gothics closely resembled vampires in that sense. Indeed, many vampire novels came out about this time.

Lace, flowing locks of hair and sweeping updos were normal for the gothic ladies, so there are definite lessons to be learned from that style. Girls today who have to have a goth style should start with fair skin. Foundation can be used to smooth out a light complexion, but be sure to make your foundation to your skin tone. If your foundation is too light, it will make you sallow and yellow rather than suitably pale. Once your foundation is on, use a bit of eye shadow and perhaps a stroke of eyeliner. A sweep of mascara finishes off the eyes, while a berry red lip gloss is just what you need to make your lips look beautiful.
