Dark matte lip forms the base of goth style. You do not need black lipstick for this look. Burgundy, purple, brown, and black shades give gothic flare if used correctly. Pair dark matte lips with clear skin and minimal eye makeup.

Adding gothic flair to daily makeup is simple. Extend your usual winged eyeliner an inch to make a statement!
Achieve this look by using a straighter cat eye liner and extending the line through your eyebrow. Then, use liquid liner in the inner corners of each eye with a thin, sharp point.Kat Von D's Tattoo LinerThis liner is the best choice for a precise line look.

Good goth fans know warm tones are the enemy. Skip the bronzer instead and use icy-hued highlighters. If you like creamy formulas, tryL'Oreal Paris Cosmetics Infallible Galaxy Stick in Astro Blue this. If you prefer a powder highlighter, the purple tone inBecca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Prismatic Amethyst is what you need.

Create makeup that looks dark and moody, not too extreme. Keep the focus on either your eyes or your lips, not both at once. Use bold black eyeshadow or liner? Keep your lips nude. Try a dark matte lip? Limit eye makeup to mascara. Easy!notboth at the same time. If you use bold black eyeshadow or liner, keep your lips nude. If you test a dark matte lip, use only mascara for eyes. Simple!

Goth makeup uses white, black, purple, and red. This stark mix draws attention to any redness on your face. Color-correct your skin first. Apply a light coat ofNYX Cosmetics Color-Correcting Liquid Primer in GreenThis reduces redness and cancels blemishes before you put on foundation.
