Gothic inspired make up

Here are some Gothic Horror/Gothic subculture style inspired eye make up looks I have been creating in my spare time. I have used purple and black to produce a dark outer lined over exaggerated Gothic subculture inspired look, but at the same time deliberately choosing purple and black products as they are often colours associated with death, magic and the supernatural. To create this make up I have used my Kryolan eyeshadow palette, along with some Eyelure strip lashes, MAC eyebrow pencil in warm brunette and Maybeline gel eyeliner in black.

Something that I continually need to practice if I am to improve my make up designs is the application of strip lashes which I find extremely difficult not only on other people but even on myself. I also think I could improve my shading technique, however I believe this is hindered by my impatience. I need to learn to perfect one part of a design before getting bored and moving on the the next step.
