1. Hair

If you’re wearing a darker outfit then there’s no need to dye your hair black. Time to break the usual goth fashion choices. Gone are the days when your strands had to be jet black. You can now play up with colors like pastels and ombre.

2. Make-up

Fashion houses rock the runways with their models strutting dark berry or cherry stained lips. They also go for ombre by mixing two different shades of red lipstick, one dark and one bright. For a wearable or everyday make-up, you can go for deep to bright red. The trick is to focus on your lips and keep the rest of your face natural.

Face: Skip the heavy white foundation and just stick to your natural skin tone. If you’re already pale then you’re considered lucky.

Eyebrows: You can say goodbye to unibrows or no brows at all. Enhancing your brows depends on you. You can draw them lighter or darker.

Eyes: Goth makeup means smokey eyes. You can use different shades of brown or bronze, blues in darker hues. Use eyeliners in shades or black, brown or blue. Use a good noir mascara. Wearing white or comic contact lenses are optional. If you feel like wearing them do it!

Cheeks: Modern Goth inspired make-up on runways have heavily contoured cheeks.

Lips: Black is still ok, but if you can try mulberry or ox-blood lipstick shades. Most cosmetic companies have launched a make-up line for fall and made them permanent.
