Gothic Look

Look Gothic with Dramatic Paleness

The gothic look involve subtle to dramatic paleness as the foundation. For this, you’ll need a cream-based white foundation and loose powder in porcelain or lighter than your skin.

A full coverage cream foundation goes on smooth and easy thanks to its liquid texture. This enables you to apply thin and even layers. If your skin is darker and white is too much of a contrast, you can also mix it with foundation of your skin tone. White full coverage cream foundation allows you to create that professional look. This foundation is called “geisha white” because it can be layered with loose powder multiple times until the skin is completely white.

Loose powder comes in a container with sieve top that controls the amount of powder you want to add on your kabuki brush. Twirl your brush around the powder on top of the sieve for an even coating before applying it on your face from the forehead down to your cheeks, nose and chin. Blend well around hair and jaw lines.
