The first thing that you have to remember is that Goth subculture it is all about creativity and expression. Therefore are not many rules, and you can change and improve. Another thing to note is the Goth style you wish to emulate, depending on the style chosen, the colours or designs you chose may vary. Both men and women wear Gothic make-up, though when it comes to men make-up is more subtle than what women customarily sport.
It is important to cleanse, tone and moisturise the skin before applying any make-up.Very pale or dark skin is best left as it is, with just a light dusting of powder over the moisturiser. If you have tan or dark coloured skin apply a coat of cream foundation, then dust with powder for a matte finish. Goth rarely use blush and bronzer, but they can be apply minimally if you chose.
Eye make-up is the most important of all Goth make-up. Dark and smoky cat eyes are much favoured by Goth. Black liquid eye-liner and mascara is used to add to contour to the eyes. Eye shadows of different colours are used, black , grey, silvery grey, white , blue , green, emerald green, purple, indigo, deep reds, yellow, etc. A mixture of two different colours can be used.
You can also make your eyes more stand out and look more dramatic by adding design drawn first in eye pencil then in liquid eye-liner . You can use different colours in your design and be as creative as you like. Rhinestones and glitter can also be used, fake lashes can be used to accentuate your Goth look. Eyebrows should be darkened and the arch well defined.
When is comes to lipstick and lip liners colours, purple, indigo, black, deep plum, etc are used. A base coat of lip liner is applied to make a lipstick stay on longer. Piercing may also be used . Make sure your Goth make-up matches with your nail polish/ art and apparel.

1. Before apply foundation , I already prepared skin with cleanse, tone and moisturise, after I applied a matte primer onto whole face. I chose a light foundation because Goth make has a pale looking skin, and powdered with translucent Illamasqua powder.
2. Then a base I used a brown eye shadow, applied onto eyelid and under eye, to make more intensive look , I applied a black out of corner eyes, under eyes, to define a look I used a black pencil, around eye and in water line.
3. Curled an eyelashes and used a black mascara. Using a black pen I defined a lip liner , then filled with red lipstick., I just added a lit of bit red colour because I wannabe kept them very dark. I clean the mess around eyes and lips by using a foundation colour.That's my final Goth look.
Evaluation
I look so scary, definitely it is not my look, I never will wear this type of make-up. It is not easy also apply and make a Goth make-up. I like a deep version black smoky eyes, but definitely without dark lips.
