Cute and cuddly are some of the words that people often associate with rag dolls. With a little creativity and imagination, you can have a spooky charm. A gothic rag doll costume is the best example in this case. This definitely makes for one of the best and most intriguing costumes you’ll ever wear and here are some ideas to make it even better.
Wear the right makeup
The right kind of makeup can make or break your costume, so it’s a good idea to have tips to follow. As for the things you need, choose black or darker shades to match the gothic look. If you have black lipstick, mascara, eyeliner, brow pencil, and white powder, then you’re good to go.
The first thing you should do is apply the white makeup powder on your face. Make sure you cover your face completely when you do this. This forms the base of your makeup, but that doesn’t mean you’re done.
Next, outline around your lips with your black brow pencil. Doing this line makes your lips more noticeable and maintains the gothic theme and look. Extend this outline with the eyebrow pencil from the corner of the lips to the cheeks. Using your burgundy or deep black lipstick, fill in your lips for a nice deep shade.
Another great addition to your goth rag doll costume is some extra detail on your face. A few black dots on your cheeks should be enough to achieve this effect. Place three missing dots using your brow pencil about an inch below your eyelid and across your nose.
To highlight your eyes, use your black eyeliner that you have on hand. Make a thick line starting from the upper lid from one corner to the other. For an added effect, pull the eyeliner out the other corner. Keep in mind that you may have to make a couple of passes to achieve the desired thickness.
For the bottom cap, repeat the same procedure only this time they don’t move away. Make two dots under your eyes with a cotton swab. It can be any type you want, but make sure they line up with the black dots you made on your cheeks earlier.
For your eyeshadow, apply two to three coats of black mascara to the top of each eyelid. Smear the makeup into the corners until it blends into the wing you made earlier. You can always darken it with your black eyebrow pencil. This is really highly desired and ideal for your look. Don’t forget to arch your eyebrows using the same pencil.
This short article basically covers everything you need when it comes to your goth makeup. For an added effect, you can always put on black nail polish and add some accessories like boots and leggings. Follow these tips and you’ll be looking amazing in your goth rag doll costume in no time.
