Hot Goth Tutorial

I love my red eyeshadow. It's so intense and vibrant! And it's limited :( MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow in Mi'lady brought about a baked goodie with one red and one purple side. I love to pair it with black. I liked goth looks for quite some time. Back in high-school... nowadays I look more natural (for my standards). So wearing bright colored e/s is always fun. A friend requested a red/black goth look, so I did one lol...

The bottom pics show the look with artificial waterdrops on lashes. Basically it's just glue on a special applicator called Crystal Lash and was bought in Japan a long time ago...

What you need for the goth look (hot because of the red lol) without waterdrops (from left to right, top to bottom):
- MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Velvetone
- MAC Kohl Power in Feline (darkest Kohl ever! lol)

- MAC #266SE flat brush
- MAC #219 brush
- MAC #213 brush
- MAC #266 flat brush (yes, another one)
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Yves Rocher Waterproof Mascara in Black
- Shiseido Maquillage Concealer
- MAC Mixing Medium Waterbased
- MAC Mineralize Eyeshadow in Mi'Lady
- MAC Eyeshadow in Carbon
- A foam applicator
- Biotherm Play On Eyeshadow in #320
- Cheapo White Frosty Eyeshadow (thebrand is essence, for people living in Austria and Germany)
- MAC Eyeshadow in Beauty Marked
- Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

so that was a long list urgh... Now let's start again with a fresh naked eye haha

Put on foundation to make your complexion look even. I use MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC30 and blend with fingers.

Then dab concealer under your eyes to erase undereye shadows.

Blend into foundation with a finger. Your eye's skin should look less tired now, but artificially even colored lol.

Next is the HG primer: Urban Decay Primer Potion. Dab a tiny amount on upper lid and blend with a finger. Do the same on your lower lid.

You shouldn't be able to see the primer, otherwise it's too much.

Also put a bit Primer on your lower lid.

Now take the MAC Kohl Power. Draw your waterline and be careful not to poke your eye out. Can you see how dark it is? I LOVE it! THIS is black. MAC, make Feline perm, thank you...

If you got too much time compare this liner with Chanel Marine on this pic

Now squeeze your eye shut to distribute the color to your upper waterline. I cannot stand lining my upper waterline directly, it itches sooo much.

Line again and squeeze one more time.

So this should be it:

Here comes the pink e/s... hey stop! Why pink? Because the red in Mi'Lady has a slight orange undertone. With pink underneath it will be a bright true red. That's it.

Apply the e/s on your upper lid. Don't forget it's the base, the red will cover it all up so don't color too much pinkish ;D

I covered the following area:

That wasn't enough for me :P so I put on some more haha

Now put a drop of Mixing Medium on some plastic, I used the lid of my GA eyeshadow LOL. Was lying around...

Dip into the MM with a foam applicator. Make sure it's not too wet or the MS e/s will apply unevenly! Too little MM and it won't be intense...

Here I'm tapping away excess moisture haha.

Now swirl around in the red side of Mi'Lady.

Apply it all over the pink e/s, but not too far into your outer eye corner.

I spared an area to add something else...

Eye opened...

Now take a different foam applicator and dip into Mixing Medium again.

Swirl around in Beauty Marked. The MM makes more of the red shimmer visible.

Apply on the outer corner, but be careful, if it's too wet you will have a hard time blending this dark e/s, even when it dries.

Kinda tap some black into the red e/s so you don't have a harsh line (unless you want one lol).

I also apply some above the red margin, until the mid of the eye:

It looks bad unblended:

So blend with a clean finger by wiping on both sides, like a windshield swiper.

Looks better now, but we're not finished yet...

Take your 213 brush and dip into the white frosty e/s.

Apply below your brow.

Blend into the colored e/s:

Finished it looks like this:

Now dip your #266 into MM

Swirl in Carbon e/s and flatten both sides to line your eyes:

Hold the flat side parallel to your lid like this and line, starting with the inner corner working your way out:

The thickness of the line depends on your eyelid.

Open your eye and look :P

Line your eyebrows with an appropriate color.

Grab your second #266 brush and blend the eyebrow color into your brows. Move in the direction the brow is natually growing.

Now your brow will look a bit more defined.

Get your eyelash curler!

Put the curler as near to the lash roots as possible. Be cautious not to pinch your eyelid. The pain will cause your eye to water and ruin the makeup unless you know how to suck it up with a tissue.

Pinch from root to tip. Do it several times if needed to achieve your desired curl.
Then apply mascara in a wiggling motion from root to tip to evenly coat each lash.

Now you can actually see my lashes:

Blend the Feline Kohl you applied earlier on you lower lid. It will certainly look messy after all these steps.

Afterwards you have an even grey color on the lower lid.

Take a bit of the red e/s again, put on a tiny bit of MM if you want.

Apply over the mid of your eye, but not quite to the outer corner:

Dip the #219 into Beauty Marked without MM.

Line your outer corner:

Lookie lookie

Dip the same brush into Carbon e/s

Now blend between the Kohl and the red e/s

Reline with feline if necessary

My waterline always looses color during the process...

So here is a potentially finished look... but since it was a lot of work anyway we'll add something more haha

Dip a very fine brush (wet) into Carbon

Put a small dot into the inner corner (outer is also great, be creative!). I wouldn't recommend the inner dot for people with narrow eyes though.

Here we have the look with a small dot:

A better angle lol:

Oh I almost forgot... blend the red e/s into your skin (if necessary)

Apply Mascara to lower lashes

Almost finished...

If you want the waterdrops you gotta have this (or the blue version lol).

Apply according to the directions on the packaging and voila waterdrops!

Now that's it... pretty lengthy XD
