Goth Makeup and Hairstyles

Goth makeup and hairstyles

A number of Goth women love to have a white or light foundation to create interesting looks, and the one in the photo above is really nice looking.

Those dark eyes, red lips and dark straight hair, along with the Goth top really are set off by that white foundation, which very attractive, and the dark eye shadow finishes off the fun and beautiful look of this Goth woman.

Creepy Gothic Woman Cemetary Photo

This is definitely a creepy looking Gothic woman, with the dark eyes looking out like she's the undead, and the graveyard as a background. It looks like she's sitting on top of a grave, either being in it and having arisen, or ready to go in. Either way, it's a pretty spooky and scary look. I like it.

Gothic Halloween Skeleton Costume

Gothic Fashion

This Gothic Halloween skeleton costume is really great, and I like everything about it. Skeleton Halloween costumes are always a fun and necessary part of any Halloween party and celebration, and this would be a truly great one to wear.

Love the pale hands and face which make the skelton costume stand out so good.

Before you tell me, yes I know it's art, but the type of Halloween skeleton costume is easy to get, and it's copying the look that I'm getting at, which would be really cool.

Goth Corset Black Fishnet Stockings

Goth Fashion - Corset

Finding this gorgeous Goth corset and fishnet stocking look, I had to include it in the ongoing series of Goth fashion photos.

This is a sexy and hot look, and the little Goth accessory around the neck really adds a subtle beauty to the overall beautifully dressed woman.

Goth Fashion - Corset

We've been looking at some Gothic fashion in the last several posts and talking about how the Goth lifestyle is highly individualistic and self-interpreting. That's definitely the case here, in what could only be considered a completely modern take on the corset, which of course is borrowed from the Victorian times.

But as many Goth women embrace a more Victorian look overall, this woman really keeps it modern looking. Still, looks great.

Goth Woman Waiting for Train

Goth Fashion

I love how Gothic fashion draws from the vintage and Victorian look and then adds some of its own modern interpretation to the feel. With this Gothic scene of a Goth woman waiting at a train station, it has everything going for it, and is very compelling and fun to look at.

To me it's like looking at someone that lived for 150 years and incorporated all those fashion styles into one outfit. Very nice.

Goth Makeup | Strange Goth Makeup

Goth Makeup

The only thing I can say about this is strrrrrange. The entire look while bold, just doesn't do anything for me. The dark eyes may be interesting, but that hair sticking up in the back turns me off. And the whole look doesn't seem to go together, including the lip and other piercings.

Now if this was a real Goth, I would change my tune, but since it's a model, which obviously is just being attempted to look Goth, I'm not as nice as I would normally be.

You know real Goth when you see it, and this isn't it, although anything can give you ideas.

Bizarre Makeup | Strange Male Makeup

Bizarre Male Makeup

While we know Goths like to express themselves individually, and Goth is how you personally interpret it for you, but in the case of this guy, he's definitely not very good at doing it.

Makeup on guys doesn't do it for me, and when you get someone that has absolutely no sense of quality or inspiration, it's even worse.

This is just a bad makeup job, whatever reason you give for doing it. The blues are gross, and the look just not compelling at all. It think it's just sloppy, and put on in that way because the person doing it had no idea how to put it all together.

Goth Girls | Wearing Almost Everything

Goth Girls

If you are Goth or follow Goth lifestyles, you know the underlying foundation is there really are no rules, and Goth is what you want it to be through who you uniquely are.

That is definitely part of the makeup of the Goth girl who has all sorts of busy things she's wearing, and somehow, it works good for her.

She has some of the roots of Goth look with the punk hairstyle, the typical black clothing, but then adds a white tutu and little white bows.

Strange but fun fashion for Goth. She has really embraced expressing herself as a Goth, and has done it extravagantly and intricately.

This goth outfit is very nice, to say the least. It all fits together and definitely is made attractive by the goth woman wearing it.

Now I think if all Gothic fashion went this route there would be quite a few new adherents to the lifestyle.

Even a lot of non-Goths would like this.

"Gothic Charm School" by Jillian Venters

Bizarre Subcultures

Since its beginning in the latter part of the 1970s post-punk movement in the UK, Goth has generated a lot of confusion and uncertainty; not only from outsiders but from the diversity of Gothic lifestyles within the subculture.

To take a look at some of that and ways to combat it, author and Goth Jillian Venters has written a book named, "Gothic Charm School: An Essential Guide for Goths and Those Who Love Them," in hopes of dispelling some of the myths, while also giving tips for her fellow Goths on living in a non-Goth world.

Part of Venters focus is on the need for Goths to just be themselves, and not try to form a caricature of what the origins of Goth in the punk rock culture was, which dwelt a lot on anger, depression and being anti-social.

Pretty interesting. I'm interesting in how Goths respond to the book.

Goth | Goth Blog Showing Dressed and Sweating on a Hot Day

Goth

Talk about a targeted niche. A new website dedicated to posting on Goths wearing their heavy clothing and makeup in hot weather and then having visitors vote on the sweatiest Goth has been launched recently, and has a bunch of pictures with Goths wearing their usual clothing in the hot summer months.

While I've never thought of Goths in the hot summer months, it is interesting to see them in their extremely heavy clothing, committed to their wardrobe to the end.

Looking at a lot of them, they do seem to have things under control in general, as many don't seem to be sweating much, while others look like they feel the heat.

Interesting concept, but watching the reaction of Goths to the summer heat and how much they sweat isn't something I'm going to pursue any time soon.

But for those interested, now you can check it out whenever you want.

Vampires | Cool Two-Eyed Girl Vampire Poster

Vampire Poster

This poster is a good lesson to all the guys. Just because you see a cute girl from behind wearing pigtails, doesn't mean she's safe.

It gets worse though. Not only does she have a good pair of vampire fangs, but when she bites you you have to look at those two different colored eyes. Talk about adding insult to injury.

That'll teach ya not to come with protection. Hehe.

Oh well, I really do like the pretty girl. I nominate her for the girl vampire next door! Anyone agree?

At least my home girl vampire in the photo below is right up front with it.

Goth | Goth Fashion Popular This Season

Goth

Looking at the fashion shows and collections this spring, goth fashion trends have been a very popular theme, along with the darkened shadow around the eyes.

Vogue Italia just released a collection from the likes of Nina Ricci, Yhoji and Yves Saint Laurent with a strong goth fashion statement shot by Craig McDean.

Some of these photos were strangely bizarre and eerie, as a number of models looked like they were mannequins.

Some of the more popular models took part in the shoot like Magdalena, Jourdan, Eniko and Evelina.

Goth Trends | Great Goth Postcard of Young Woman

Goth Trends

I really can't put a finger on the exact reason I really like this gothic postcard, but maybe it's the vulnerability, but seeming lack of fear of the young woman portrayed in the art.

There is that sense of danger by the surroundings she's in, even though she is blindfolded, doesn't show it bothers her.

Evidently it's the composure under the unknown duress she either has faced, or is going to face, along with the beauty of the subject as well, that makes it so compelling.

Goth Trends | Goth Festival Has Big Turnout

Goth


For years the town of Whitby in the UK has been the destination of those who like to celebrate the Goth lifestyle.

Looking at the style of dress worn by the visitors though, they look more like weekend dabblers than serious practicioners.

I always find it interesting looking at goth fashion, that there's always a bunch of people dressing like nuns and priests or vicars.

Just like a true westerner, it was more about enjoying the bands and buying up trinkets serving the market. It's more like having fun on Halloween than anything else with this group.

Compare their costumes to the one below.
