It's Black Friday inspired Gothic look

I'm a huge fan of Black Friday. She is an ultimate Victorian Goth and a very successful YouTuber. She posts videos with make up tutorials, outfits, vlogs, really funny reactions to hate comments and much more. I absolutely love her style and creativity and that's why I tried to recreate one of her signature looks.

First I primed my lids with white eye-shadow base. Then I applied white matte eye-shadow all over them. Next I drew a crease line with grey eye-shadow way higher than where is my natural crease to achieve bigger looking eyes. I elongated this line towards my temple. Next I drew a line along my lash line with black matte eye-shadow. I connected this line with the crease line. I played a bit with defining the correct thickness and shape. Next I went over this line with a liquid liner to make it more precise, sharp and more black.
Then I drew another line under my bottom lash line. I drew it lower than it should be in order to achieve big doll like eyes. I connected this line with the top line in the inner corners. Then I blended under this line with a black eye-shadow to make it more diffused because I didn't want the line to be too sharp.
Next I applied my foundation and I set it with a powder.
Then I continued with blending the lines and adding more darkness. When I was done with eye shadows I applied plenty of mascara on my top and bottom lashes. Black Friday wears beautiful extremely big false lashes which I didn't have at the moment, so I had to do without them.
Next I defined my brows with a black eye-shadow. I made them different than Black Friday does simply because she shaves her natural brows off so she can draw any shape she likes but I like to have my natural brows so I have to adapt my brow shape to them.
As a last step I put on my liquid lipstick from LA Splash in shade Venom (which is pure black).

My current go to look: Black smokey eyes & black lips

This is a quite simple look and it takes me pretty short amount of time and products to create it. I also feel like I look like myself the most with this make up style.
How I achieved it?
First I started with a creamy grey eyeshadow as a base (using Maybelline's color tattoo eyeshadow in shade 55 Immortal Charcoal). I applied it all over my eyelids with my finger. I smudged the outer edges  where I wanted the color to be the lightest. Next I highlighted under my brows using a white matte eyeshadow (Inglot freedom system 373). Next I applied a light beige eyeshadow below the white one and a medium brown eyeshadow on top of it (Inglot freedom system matte 390 & 342). This created a transition between light and dark colors and also a perfect base for blending black eyeshadow. Next I applied black matte eyeshadow on my lids (top and bottom) and I blended it above my crease. I used Rimmel's 214 Jet Black. I usually blend a bit higher because I have hooded eyes and I want the dark eyeshadow to be visible with my eyes open as well. I blend under my bottom lashline also pretty far to achieve more "goth" look. It also makes my eyes to appear bigger.
Next I lined my inner corners, my top lashline and an outer bit of my bottom lashline with black eyepencil from Essence. I chose eyepencil over liquid (or gel) eyeliner because I was going for more smudged and less precise line. I set the pencil with the black matte eyeshadow to prevent moving, creasing and to make it last longer.
I primed my face using Revlon's photoready perfecting primer.
Then I applied my foundation -
Mary Kay luminous-wear foundation in shade 4 Ivory. Next I highlighted my under eye area, the top of my cheekbones, my jaws and chin with light yellow concealer from my Beauty88 concealer palette. I set it all with loose white powder from Grimase. Next I drew on my eyebrows using black gel eyeliner from Rimmel.
I applied 2 coats of mascara on my top and bottom lashes (Me Now Generation II Lash power Extension Visible Mascara).
For my lips I applied my favourite liquid lipstick Venom from LA Splash cosmetics.

Goth ice-purple eyes using Sleek I Candy palette

I've started with priming my lids with a white eye shadow primer from W7. Than I applied a white matte eye shadow on top of it. I mainly concentrated on my inner corners, under the eyebrows and on the center of my lids.
Then I applied a cool toned matte blue eye shadow into my crease and I blended it outwards and upwards. I applied a bit on my lower lids as well. Then I applied a warm purple matte eye shadow into my crease and I blended it with the blue eye shadow I applied earlier. I also applied it on my lower lids. I made sure I blended everything well so the transmission was perfectly smooth without any harsh edges. I also darkened the outer V's with a black matte eye shadow.
Next I lined my top lash line with a waterproof liquid liner and I applied my mascara on top and bottom lashes.
Next I applied MAC Pro Longwear concealer in NC 15 instead of a foundation all over my face. I set it with a loose white powder. Next I defined my brows with a black matte eye shadow. It wasn't dark enough for me so I applied a black liquid liner on top of it to make it extra black.

Black with cool green shimmer using Sleek Enchanted Forest palette

I've recently purchased the newest palette from Sleek called Enchanted Forest and I absolutely love it. It is amazing for creating all kinds of looks - especially dark, gothic, grungy or very edgy looks. Today I felt like wearing something between gothic and edgy so this is what I came up with.
I've started with priming my eyes. I applied black eyepencil as a base and I blended the edges with light brown matte eyeshadow. That created my border. Then I applied my main eyeshadow - silver-cool green all over my lids. I darkened the outer V's using matte black eyeshadow. I applied the ligher eyeshadow in the inner corners. I lined my bottom lashline with black eye pencil and I applied the "main eyeshadow" on top of it. As final step I lined my top lashline with liquid eyeliner.
I primed my face with Smashbox photo finish foundation primer and I applied MAC Pro longwear concealer in NC15 all over my face. I set everything using white loose powder. Then I contoured a bit under my cheeks.
Then I applied 2 layers of mascara on my top and bottom lashes. I always do this after I powder my face because I don't want any loose powder on my mascara.
I applied LA Splash liquid lipstick in shade Venom (which is pure black) on my lips. When it dried I applied a bit of the "main eyeshadow" in the middle.

Vintage romance smokey eyes & purple lips

 I  started with priming my lids. I used Inglot's AMC gel eyeliner in shade 73 matte which is amazing purple color. I applied it on my lids with my finger and blended it outwards. I applied it on my lower eyelids as well. Then I applied my transition color above my crease. I used the terracotta brown/red from Sleek's Vintage Romance palette (Propose in Prague). I applied Revlon Colorstay eye shadow in shade 05 Hazelnut on top of it. I made sure that both eye shadows were blended well.
Next I started applying the dark pink eyeshadow from Vintage romance palette (Marry in Monte Carlo) into my crease. Then I applied slightly darker shade from the same palette (Honeymoon in Hollywood) into my outer V and on my eyelids. I applied both these shades on my lower lids as well. Next I applied the black/purple glittery eyeshadow (Forever in Florence) on my lashline and I blended it upwards. Next I popped a bit of the silver-white eyeshadow into the inner corners of my eyes.
Then I applied liquid liner along my top lashline and I extended it in the inner and the outer corners.
After I cleaned all the fallouts I applied primer all over my face using Revlon photoready perfecting primer and I let it set for a while.
Then I applied my Mary Kay TimeWise luminous-wear liquid foundation in shade 4 Ivory all over my face. I erased my under eye circles using LA Girl Pro HD concealer in shade Natural. I set everything with white loose setting powder from Grimase. Next I contoured under my cheekbones and bit on my forehead using Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow in shade 05 Hazelnut. Then I applied my Max Factor Clump defy mascara on the top and bottom lashes.
Afterwards I defined my eyebrows using Maybelline Color Tatttoo creamy eyeshadow in shade black and I brushed them through with clear brow gel.
Then I moved on to my lips. I first applied the same purple gel eyeliner as I used for my eyes on my lips with lipbrush. Then I darkened the outlines and inner corners using the black/purple eyeshadow from Sleek Vintage romance palette (Forever in Florence). I applied the dark pink shadow (Honeymoon in Hollywood) in the center of my lips.

Vampy look: grey smokey eyes and red lips

I've started with priming my eyes with a black creamy eyeshadow. I used Maybelline Color Tattoo 24H cream in shade 60 Timeless Black. I applied it on my lash line and the moving part of my lid with a brush and I blended it outwards and upwards up to my eye socket. Applying black creamy base makes all the black eye shadows stay in place, it makes them more intensive and it avoids creasing and fall outs through the day (or night). Next I blended the edges with a matte light warm brown eye shadow. I used Revlon Colorstay in shade 05 Hazelnut. This was my transition color. Then I applied a matte black eye shadow all over my eyelids with a stiff flat brush. I used Rimmel Glam eyes eyeshadow in shade 214 Jet Black. I applied this same eyeshadow into my crease as well using big fluffy blending brush. I applied just a bit at the time and kept blending over the light brown I applied earlier to achieve nice diffuse effect.
Then I applied the same creamy eyeshadow on my lower lash line and the same black matte eyeshadow on top of it. I made sure everything is blended nicely. Then I applied the light brown eyeshadow below the black one to create a nice transition of colors. I wanted to achieve more 'vampy' look with big spooky-looking eyes.
When I was finished with eyeshadow I lined my waterline (top and bottom) using Essence Long Lasting eye pencil in shade 01 Black Fever. Then I applied a liquid liner on my top lash line and I extended it in my inner and outer corners. I used Catrice Liquid Liner Waterproof  in shade 010.
Then I moved to the rest of my face. I first primed my T-zone and cheeks (basically are where I have enlarged pores) with Smashbox Photo Finish foundation primer. Then I applied a very thin layer of MAC Pro Longwear concealer in shade NC15 all over my face and I blended it with  beauty blender sponge. I applied a bit more under my eyes to conceal any dark circles. I set everything with a loose white setting powder from Grimase. Then I contoured under my cheekbones a bit using Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow in shade 05 Hazelnut. I discovered this works amazing as a contour powder as well and the shade is perfect for my complexion. Next I defined my brows using a black brow pencil by Essence and some clear brow gel to set everything in place. I also applied some mascara.
Then I applied red liquid lipstick on my lips (from brand W7). I overlined them slightly. Then I outlined them using the  black eye pencil (Essence Long Lasting in shade 01 Black Fever). Then I blended the black line with the applicator from the liquid lipstick with a tiny bit of a product on it. When the liquid lipstick dried I applied the top gloss layer on top of it.

Black & Magenta using Sleek Acid Palette

I've started as always with priming my lids. I've used MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre in my crease and brow bone and L’Oréal Color Riche LeKajal in 501 Black on my top and bottom lid. 
Then I applied the white matte eyeshadow from Sleek's Acid palette under my brows. Afterwards I applied my transition shade -  Revlon Colorstay in shade 05 Hazelnut. I blended it together with the white shadow I applied earlier. I applied several layers of this Hazelnut shadow to achieve density I wanted. This step is very important with using dark or cool toned eye shadows such as black or grey because it avoids the dark (or cool toned eye shadows) appear blue-ish. Also with using very dark colors it creates barrier for dark shades so they don't go too high and avoids the "black-eye effect". Plus it makes blending dark colors much easier. You need to use matte brown color with warm undertone which is slightly darker than your skin color but also not too dark. Then I applied matte black eyeshadow to my crease and I blended it with the black base I applied earlier and I applied it in my outer V's as well. I used Rimmel Glam eyes in shade 214 Jet Black. I blended my lower lash line using the same black eyeshadow. Then I applied the fuchsia pink matte eyeshadow from Sleek Acid palette on my lids - top and bottom. I used flat stiff brush and patting motion. I kept on re-applying till I was satisfied with the intensity. Because of the black base the fuchsia color turned more purple so it became beautiful magenta color. To add a bit more shimmer I applied MAC pigment in  shade Nocturnal on my top lids. Then I lined my top lash line using Rimmel's gel eyeliner in shade Black. I lined my waterline with black eye pencil from Essence.


Then I moved on to the face. I started with priming my T-zone area with Smashbox Photo finish foundation primer. Afterwards I applied my Mary Kay TimeWise luminous-wear liquid foundation in shade 4 Ivory. I used L’Oréal True Match Touche Magique Concealer pen under my eyes. I also contoured under my cheekbones using my beauty88.nl concealer palette and the darkest shade. I set everything with Mary Kay loose translucent powder. 
Then I defined my eyebrows using Maybelline Color Tattoo 24H cream in shade 60 Timeless Black and angled brush. I brushed them through with clear brow gel. I finished off my eyes with the mascara - Max Factor Clump Defy first and Rimmel Scandal eyes second.
I first lined my lips using black eye pencil from essence and I filled them in afterwards (using the same pencil). Then I applied the same fuchsia eyeshadow I used for my eyes in the centre of my lips. 

Gothic Black-Plum (video)

I've started with the primer (MAC Paint Pot Soft Ochre) all over my eyelid. I concentrated especially on my brow bone area. Then I applied a white matte eyeshadow under my brows to highlight the area. Afterwards I applied matte beige eyeshadow all over my crease and I blended it. This created a smooth texture for blending darker colors (which I was going to do later). I applied a matte medium brown eyeshadow into my crease as well to create dimension and more intensity.
Afterwards I applied the plum-purple color into my crease. I spent a while blending and re-applying till I got the opacity I wanted.
Then I worked on eyelid base. I applied a black kajal eye pencil all over the moving part of my lid - just up to my crease, not higher. I made sure that this layer wasn't too thick and that it was perfectly even. The last thing you want is uneven base because it will cause creasing and it will make the eye shadows look horrible. Then I blended the edges (where my base connected the purple color in the crease) with a matte dark grey eyeshadow. This created a smooth transmission between all shadows. I used a small fluffy blending brush for this. With this step I lost some of the purple-plumy color so I re-applied it again.
Then I applied a super black eyeshadow on top of my lid. It sticked very well because of the black base I created earlier and it didn't crease nor move.
For my lower lid I did pretty much the same - I applied the base with the black kajal eye pencil, then I blended it with the same dark grey eyeshadow. Then I applied purple-plum color beneath and blended it with the beige eyeshadow.
After I cleaned all fall outs and fixed the areas where I blended too far (under my eyes) I put on my gel eyeliner into my waterline, inner corners and top lash line where I winged it slightly towards my brows. Next I blended the purple-plum eyeshadow under my eyes with the beige eyeshadow again to make the color fade out gradually.
Then I applied my foundation - I used foundation stick so application of that is slightly different than of liquid foundation. I drew few strokes in strategic points on my face and I blended them with my fingers. With this technique I didn't apply too much foundation. Then I powdered my entire face and contoured under my cheekbones, jaw and under my chin down to my neck.
Next I did my brows - first I brushed them through with  a spoolie, then I filled them in with a black brow pencil and set it with the dark grey eyeshadow. Then I brushed them through with a clear brow gel in order to give them more natural look and to keep the hair in place.
Next I applied 2 different mascaras to my top and bottom lashes.
The last step was the lipstick - I mixed the darkest liquid lipstick I own with gel eyeliner and I applied it on my lips with a small lip brush.

Vampy red/purple

Instagram post of this look

I started with priming my lids with MAC Paint pot in Soft Ochre. I applied very thin layer just with my fingers. Then I applied the main shadow - which is cool toned shimmery red from Sleek Sunset Palette - all over my lids. Then I blended the edges with matt beige shadow and I darkened the outer V's with matt black shadow from the same palette. Once I was satisfied with intensity I applied lilac pink lose pigment into inner corners to give the red colors more dimension. I repeated the same steps on my lower lid as well.
Then I applied gel eyeliner from my very inner corners of my eyes  all the way towards my brows. Afterwards I put black matt eyeshadow on top of the eyeliner to avoid shimmery shadow pressing onto eyeliner and therefor fading of the intensity of black line. I didn't apply anything into my waterline. I finished off the eyes with plenty of mascara.

For the rest of the face I applied my standard routine - primer, concealer all over the face, powder, light contouring under my cheekbones and jaws.

I applied very dark burgundy lipstick from Max Factor (I have it for years and the name and number peeled of so I don't know which shade is it exactly). I decided to use the lip gloss (which comes with the lipstick) for this time. I normally never do it but I thought it might be nice for this particular look.

Dark plums with green & gothic lips

I started with applying white base all over my eye lids. I used W7 white eyeshadow base for the first time and I was very surprised by it. It's really inexpensive product but it still works amazing.  Pigmentation is great, and it made my eye shadows lasting very long without creasing. I chose to use this particular white one in order to make colors more vibrant.
First color I applied was the darker green from Sleek Acid Palette right into my inner corners. Then I applied darker shimmery green from Sleek Garden of Eden Palette on top of it. I tried to create color which matches my eyes, but it is pretty difficult. Then I applied dark plum color from the same palette all over my lids and blended it with light yellow/white matt eyeshadow (from my newest Make up revolution palette). Than I applied dark cool brown matt color from the same palette into my outer-V to darken it a bit and I blended it very well. Then I applied the same colors onto my lower lid.

Than I cleaned up all fall outs and applied face primer (Gosh Velvet touch). Then I mixed 2 foundations on back of my hand and applied on the face using my fingers. I applied Max Factor's under eye concealer in shade Ivory under my eyes to cover up any dark circles and also to "clean up" the look. Then I set everything with compact powder. Normally I use loose powder but today I felt like doing something else.

Then I did some light contouring using Inglot's medium brown matt eyeshadow which is absolutely amazing for contouring.
Then I applied thin line with a liquid eyeliner along my upper lash line and I winged it up pretty high to give my eye a bit "lift".  Afterwards I put on lots of mascara on top and bottom lashes. I always use at least 2 different ones. Then I defined my brows with black eyeshadow (from Acid palette) and brush them through with clear brow gel to make them look more natural.
As last I did my lips. First I lined my lips with my black gel eye liner and very small detail brush and then I filled them in with the same gel eyeliner. After it get dried I applied one coat of burgundy lipstick to give it bit more "natural" color. And that was pretty much it.

Very dark purple smokey eyes&lips (gothic)

Black&plum gothic

This is one of my all time favorite looks but it is so extreme that I actually never wear it. Still I decided it to include it into this blog for something more different than looks I usually post here.
The absolute beauty of the look is contrast between extremely dark eyes and lips and very pale skin. The eye look is nothing difficult - pretty much very black smokey eyes. Normally with smokey eyes the transition color (crease color) is either light brown or beige or something very neutral. I used matt dark plum color to make it look more interesting. I used the same colors onto my lower lid as well and I went pretty far down in order to make my eyes appear bigger. I lined my eyes with gel liner (top, bottom, waterline) and applied crazy amount of mascara. You may also use false lashes. After I cleaned up all fall outs (especially in my under eye area) I applied concealer under my eyes which is very important step to set the border between dark eyes and pale face. If you skip this step you might end up looking like panda bear:-)
I applied the lightest foundation I have all over my face, set with loose powder and did very little contouring on my cheekbones. I didn't highlight nor applied any blush. I finished off with lips. First I applied Maybelline's Colorstay 24H lipstick in shade Burgundy and after it dried I lined corners of my lips with black gel liner. I tried to be very precise. Then I blended the edges in the corners to achieve the nice "ombre" effect.
