Once I saw a couple at the ballet. They came in the fashion of Mozart, white on white embroidered satin and powdered hair. It was more they dressed in the fashion of a long gone era for real. No cheap white pancake make-up and smeared lipstick. They also carried themselves as if they were from another era - no slouching and shuffling in a ruffled bustle.</p> <p>Anyways, I think the key to the "goth eye" are the deep eyeshadow colours - smokey eye, basically. I would keep the dark eyeliner to the outer eye and do a darker shadow.</p> <p>Also, a random thought, I wouldn't do smokey eye and wear a tank top. I think it would seem more like you came out of the house half-dress... 'cuz like the house was on fire. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goth-attempt#post-446591 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 20:01:33 +0000 Vicki 446591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's Goth for Halloween, that's one thing and then you'd probably rim even your lips in a very dark brown or black pencil, however, Elly has given you some great advice, because as a blonde with blue eyes (but, much, much older than you), I know that rimming the eyes, especially the lower water line, can close the eye and make it appear smaller! Lining the eye close to the lash line gives a natural look and the use of plums or browns work well. Peachy and coppery shadow colors add some interest to blue and green eyes, too. So, play up some colors, because you have beautiful eyes, Con Con. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goth-attempt#post-446468 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 16:44:19 +0000 krishnidoux 446468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Goth! Please don't go Goth on us. You are so beautiful. Your eyes done up in this way take on a mysterious air. Their pretty color pops. You are very talented in make-up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goth-attempt#post-446457 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 16:25:27 +0000 Elly 446457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also curious why you are into the goth look and wondering if you really understand the goth look/culture or if you are just using "goth" to refer to all kinds of badass-type looks (I won't fault you, when I was a teen most of the kids I went to school with referred to the black eyeliner and lipstick look as goth, even when it really wasn't--- I guess that is small town USA and a whole generation of kids that don't know their Marty McFly from their Yoko Ono and I am practically old compared to you--- seriously, my baby brother is going to be 20 this year). </p> <p>Honestly, I think there are so many more flattering looks. The black liner on the water-line all the way around rimmed eyes isn't the most flattering look on most people (especially light-eyed blondes). Some ladies do work it, but generally most women cringe when they see the look on teens because it gums up their natural beauty and it tends to look dated on other women. </p> <p>Your eyes would look so much larger with softer eye makeup. Purple and pinks look beautiful with green eyes and make them pop without overwhelming them. If I were you I would get myself a makeover at a makeup counter or specialty shop in the mall---- ask for a natural look and have the artist teach you how to create the look step by step. You don't have to buy all your products there-- just an eyeshadow or lipgloss. Then you can go to the drugstore and pick out similar products for less. This was how my mother got me started doing makeup when I was about your age. That plus 5 years of doing theatrical makeup really made a difference for me in emphasizing my best features in a natural-looking way---</p> <p>If you are going to do a solid rim of liner, maybe you could try it with a plum or maroon-ish brown---- it is a softer look. I have a purple liquid liner I like to use, but I always blend it with a little purple shadow to soften it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goth-attempt#post-446419 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:23:03 +0000 teri 446419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>definetly not goth.

But it is pretty! Just a simple lined eye that makes your blue eyes pop. I don't think you need more. Just out of curiosity, why do you want to look "goth"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goth-attempt#post-446297 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:48:15 +0000 Con Con 446297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Should I go darker? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/goth-attempt#post-446290 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:35:08 +0000 Deborah 446290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very subtle and would suggest not really goth.
