The first and the foremost thing which you have to consider for all sorts of makeup especially for Gothic makeup is your skin type and features. You should know that what features of your face are you supposed to enhance and change.

For Gothic makeup you have to start off with whitening your face for which you can use pale or ivory foundation. This will give you a pale and vampire effect. However if your skin color is dark then you have to make sure that you do not excessively color your face white.

After application of foundation the next step in Gothic makeup is to move towards your cheeks. Here it is to be noticed that the proper Gothic look does not have cheek color or blush on however if you wish to give yourself a dead and sunken look then you can put on some dark powder on your cheeks. However, if you are dressing as a soft Goth then a light and sensual blush on would be perfect.

Eyes are those parts of the face which can enhance your look to a great extent. Hence a perfect Gothic makeup requires heavy and tactfully done eyes with great care and attention. The key element of Gothic makeup is a thick eye liner as it gives you a mysterious and sullen look. You can make artistic shapes with the eye liner yet ensure that it is thick. In case you feel your hands shake while application only then go for the best quality pencil eye liner otherwise liquid ones is the most appropriate ones.
