This look was inspired by an editorial fashion spread I spotted in a magazine, where the model was wearing very edgy, gothic, dark makeup. Since some of the upcoming fall collections seem to be focusing on black makeup, for example MAC's Style Black collection, I felt this look would be fitting for those people who love dark, gothic looks. This look is obviously not an everyday, natural, wearable look - but it is fun to do, especially for those people brave enough to sport makeup like this out and about, be it a dark smokey club or even a gothic rock concert. There are many different ways to do gothic makeup - this one is more high fashion inspired.
In the video, the colors on the eyes are hard to see. It is not all black - the edges are dark purple and the lids are burgundy. It comes across more color accurate on these pictures. (I really need to get some better lighting for filming at night *sigh*)

Oh my god, my heart just bounced. I recently took a picture of you and another of the arabian peacock look and posted in my blog, but the post was about youtube gurus i really like. Despite not having the link closed to the photo, i have it on the text (the youtube account!). The text its in portuguese so i think you cannot understant but i think its all compliments, no hatte at all!Its this ok? Thanks and sorry if it isn't, just say and i remove it!

Thanks for doing this look!
I have also noticed that the look now is very dark and edgy/almost gothic make-up.
Now all I need is a pair of leather patent pants :P

Next time, please ask in advance. That is generally how it is done in blogging. I also saw the link you put to my page is invalid. Please adjust the link. I am flattered you chose me as one of your favorite gurus but would prefer if you asked in advance, or at least had a valid link in. Thanks.

Love. It. - So different to your Trends Fall 2009: Berry Lipstick but once again you've nailed this Gothic look. Love your green eyes and dark lips and the fact that you've incorporated purple and burgundy in the eye shadow. Nails are fab. Would be an awesome look if you were going to The Cure concert!

To Anon:
Yeah that was me, but now people think I'm a faker. lol
at: 6:44 am said...
Dude, I'd totally wear this out.
I'd probably wear this to the office too though, so I'm kind of a bad judge on these types of things.
I'm so excited that fall previews are all gothy, and MAC's black collecting thing is going to be awesome.
Black lipgloss ftw.
at: 3:45 pm said...

I like your tutorials so far (Just started browsing) and got extremely happy when I saw Goth inspired make up. It's really the only one I see though... :( Do you think you can make some more please?? Pretty please? :)
at: 12:11 am said...
Wunderschönes Make-up!
Kriegt man diese (oder ähnliche) Produkte auch in der Schweiz?

Hi Mizz,
Absolutely fab goth make-up video! I would wear this look in the street in a heartless beat! LOL! Vampire-inspired make-up seems to be all the rage now so no worries about strange stares --- who the frock cares anyway!?? Gives the masses from suburbia something to look at!
Anyway, when you first held up MAC 'Mystical Mist' I thought it was one I have had for some years called 'Contrast' by MAC which is a deep, dark purpley-blue with a bluish sheen still available and may be part of their permanent collection. Please keep the vids coming, they are very entertaining!

Have you tried Make Up For Ever lipstick in 49? It's a black cherry, but it has a satin finish.
at: 6:00 am said...
I love this. I would wear this everywhere, cos that's just the kind of person I am. Also, glitter/shimmer/sparkle could work - haven't you ever heard of Glitter Goths?
