Plum and Berry Smokey Goth Makeup look with Coastal Scents Go London Palette

This is a look I did for Never Too Much Sparkle's showcase theme: GOTH. Of course the themes are always open to interpretation. While I don't really label myself as goth, I have a lot of goth friends and I do venture out to the goth clubs as I love to dance (my fav type of music is industrial). Makeup can be a huge role in goth looks, but it never has been for me personally. I've been known to arrive at the clubs wearing bright yellow eyeshadow and bright purple lipstick. :-) Why? Because I really don't care for that 10 years dead look (black lipstick, smokey eyes and face powder way too pale). It just doesn't work for me. I express my love for colour through my makeup and that doesn't change when going to a goth club. 
However, I like to show my "goth" side with clothing and accessories. This is a headpiece I made a few years ago and have worn it out to the clubs a few times.

  6. I love how you rock just about every single shade of lipstick.
    I think wearing brights to a Goth Club is perfectly fine :) I do it all the time and no one ever shoots me weird looks.
