  Step 1

  Use a white face paint (I’m using BLANC DE CLOWN BY SNAZAROO) to pale yourself up. The idea is to make yourself look pale rather than pure white, so don’t go overboard

• 

  Step 2

  Then intensify the white in your highlight parts of the face – your forehead, cheekbones, nose and chin

• 

  Step 3

  Use a buffing brush (I’m using the one by REAL TECHNIQUES) to buff it in – the aim is to make it look natural and not painted on…. Well, as natural as possible! :)

• 

  Step 4

  Eyebrows – use a black to contrast your very pale skin. I used the black cream liner by RIMMEL LONDON and filled in my brows

• 

  Step 5

  A technique I recommend for a gothic eye look is to use a red lip pencil.. Because it helps to give a grunge –esque feel to it. I used GASH LIP PENCIL BY URBAN DECAY. Apply this all over the lid and on the bottom lash line

• 

  Step 6

  Use an eyeshadow brush to blend the red done and make it look really messy

• 

  Step 7

  Use a mixture of different colours to create depth to the eyes – I used both QUITE NATURAL PAINT POT BY MAC and SCENE EYESHADOW BY MAC

• 

  Step 8

  For contour – because it’s quite an OTT contour I think there’s nothing wrong with adding a touch of colour. I decided to go with a blue to contrast with the warm red in my eyes. I used BLUE VELVET SHADOWCREME BY ESTEE LAUDER

• 

  Step 9

  Apply a black eyeliner to your water line – I used SUPERSHOCK BY AVON

• 

  Step 10

  Add your black eyeshadow to your lid area – push it on to increase intensity and then blend outwards

• 

  Step 11

  Add the black liner (that you used for your eyebrows) to your lash line

• 

  Step 12

  Apply lots of mascara

• 

  Step 13

  Apply a dark lipstick – I’m using KITTENISH BY MAC

• 

  Step 14

  OPTIONAL – paint your neck with the black face paint…. This is optional ofcourse! :). Sometimes I see gothic band members do this to bring out their faces more

• 

  Step 15

  Improvise with some marks on your face

• 

  Step 16

  Back comb your hair – et finito!

I didn't even have to read the description to know the look was based on Devin Sola. He's my favorite member of Motionless in White.
