5 Goth Makeup Must-Haves To Tap Into The Trend

5 Goth Makeup Must-Haves To Tap Into The Trend
Goth makeup has made a comeback in a big way recently thanks to Netflix’s Wednesday series. Jenna Ortega’s take on Wednesday Addams has had everyone going wild for goth style – not to mention her dance moves. While Wednesday has brought goth style to the forefront, it’s a trend that’s been building quietly.

Both Dior (pictured) and Versace showcased their take on goth makeup with their spring/summer 2023 shows; models were given kohl lined eyes with Dior even opting for pigtails. Given the appreciation for 90s makeup, it was only a matter of time before the pivot from grunge to goth beauty was made. It’s worth noting that goth makeup in 2022 has universal appeal. There’s a dash a black liner, but the wider palette of soft browns paired with lit-from-within skin makes it more wearable. Here are the must-have makeup products to channel your inner goth…

5 Of The Best Goth Makeup Products

01

By Terry

Crayon Blackstar, £19.20

The Long-Lasting Liner
Black liner is a prerequisite for all goth makeup looks – whether you’re channelling Dior's spring/summer 2023 or Jenna Ortega in Netflix’s Wednesday. By Terry’s crayon allows you to create jet-black graphic liners or more of a smudged look in the seconds between you applying and the formula setting. We recommend lining your lower and upper lashes – if your eyelids are naturally more hooded, try Milk Makeup’s Zanna Roberts-Rassi’s trick of taking your liner halfway across rather than into the inner corners.

Anastasia Beverly Hills

Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette, £36.80

The Eyeshadow Palette
Opt for dark browns or greys rather than straight black eyeshadow. It’s a softer, more modern take on goth makeup and emulates Jenna Ortega’s decision to wear a mixture of muted tones rather than the traditional black dress with a white collar. Anastasia Beverly Hills’ palette provides a full spectrum of brown and beige tones to experiment with. Our go-to shades include Cypress Umber, Rustic and Sienna. If you want to go down the grey route, look to Byredo Eyeshadow Palette, £60.00. Use the darker shades to gently define your upper and lower lash lines.

19/99

Tinted Matte Balm, £17.60

The Dark Nude Lip
Goth makeup may have traditionally featured a black lipstick, but a dark nude is much more wearable. 19/99’s Tinted Matte Balm provides the right depth of colour and keeps your lips hydrated in the current sub-zero temperatures.

Rare Beauty

Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara, £11.00

The Lash-Defining Mascara
Lashes should be defined and lengthened, but not over-the-top. Rare Beauty’s mascara is one of our favourites for the jet-black definition. One or two coats will have you channelling your inner goth without flaking or leaving your lashes feeling crispy.
