Gothic makeup in fashion

Gothic influenced makeup has been seen a number of times on the catwalk, for example Gothic Glamour of 12/13. 

Marc Jacobs


Here at Marc Jacobs we see pale skin, with no bronze or blush, thick dark brows and a black smokey eye that is very heavy on the lower lid. The waterline has been kept free of colour to give the look a fresher feel.

Gucci


Gucci opted for the blood red lip with a glossy finish. To keep the focus entirely on the lip the brows have been bleached an mascara was only applied to the top lashes. It looks like a pale liner was used on the waterline to brighten the eyes. A light dusting of bronzer was added around the perimeter of the face to warm up the complexion and contour slightly.


Prada


Prada went bold for this season by using black all over the lip and up to the brow, the brows were then coloured orange and purple was used on the lower lash line. The liner used gave the eyes a very graphic shape. The lips were left nude. I love this look and it would be fairly easy to recreate.
