Gothic White Makeup for a Flawless and Pale Complexion

Gothic White Makeup with MAC products

You can achieve the flawless and pale complexion with one of two MAC products, available at the specialty professional makeup artist locations only in some cities. The general retail locations may not carry all of the professional makeup artist products and colors. These two product descriptions are: MAC Micronized airbrush formula 50 ML/1.7 US FL OZ. This is professional grade liquid in a small clear plastic bottle with a black cap MAC White Full Coverage Foundation 28g/1.0 US OZ. This is a professional grade white cream in a black round compact with a clear top. (The MAC staff calls it "geisha white".)

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.
