Mascara <sp?>
B. Rockwood
What's the deal with the makeup? I commonly hear people talk
about wearing mascara, and other types of make up, but i want to
know how people do their makeup, not just what they use.
All info is appreciated.

Lets see... First, I take a stick of cocoa butter (100% pure, from
Woltra) and shmear that around to protect my face from everything else...
Then I put on some cheap crap white makeup, all over... Including my neck
and ears... Then I use the darkest eyeshadow I can find (kind of a metallic
gray) all over the top of my eyes... Then I use a waterproof eyeliner
pencil (the liquid stuff +bethany+ uses burns my eyes) to do the bottom
of my eyes -- usually very heavily, and then I add some designs at the
ends of my eyes... Or I just get bored and go for the Priss - of Blade
Runner fame- look... Sometimes I'll do curly eyebrows with the pencil
and /or some sort of symbol(s) on one or both cheek(s)... Then I'll
do my lips black, and that's it... I normally don't use mascara, because my
lashes are normally long and luscious *blink* *blink* :)
Oh, and for my hair I use the super-secret stuff I learned about while
hanging around picadilly circus in the Mid-80's... I finally learned
how those Punks get their hair so high and spiky... Sugar, Soap and
Water... Powder the soap (preferably ivory) andd some sugar, let dissolve in
water until it forms a thick gunk, and voila! It does actually wash
out, and it dries rock hard -- 1000% harder than wimpy gel and hairspray
(was real useful back when I had a mohawk -- see the goths who-were-punk
thread before it started talking about anarchy)... ;)

I use charcoal instead of mascara or eye-liner because it gives a softer line
and it means I don't have to pop in to the Body Shop... :-}
Simply rub the charcoal on to a piece of card and then transfer it
to the eyes with your finger, smudging it where you will. I personally
prefer it only around the actual eye as opposed to right up to the eyebrow
but that's just me... Don't like lipstick, but do smudge charcoal on my
cheeks to bring out my cheek bones. Oh the vanity of it all...

Slap it on, sleep in it, add another coat of mascara and go to
lectures. When the streaking eyeliner reaches my chin, I remove
with kitchen towel and meths, and start again... :-)
Prepare to be bored, I'm going to get long and boring and technical now.
I *paint* my face. Apart from a little foundation (not white shit; my skin
is pale enough already) and powder, the rest goes on using my extensive
collection of sable brushes. Gunmetal sparkly blusher, waxy Jofrika
silver theater paint, lipsticks in various nasty garish magenta, purple or
red (or even the jofrika again) pearlised white shading and black eyeliner.
You get so much more control with a brush, and it means that your designs
and outlines go on nice and sharp and precise, and it also means that you
avoid using too much stuff (as with less, you save money! and get less
smudging).
As for how it goes on, that's different every time. Let it just be said I
look somewhere between a mad new-waver, a robot, a drowned maiden -
usually. But I keep the blusher sharp and angular, whatever colour I'm
using. Do it right and *anyone* can have razorblade cheekbones. Daub a
little on the temples too, it looks spooky, in a *nice* sort of way of
course. Pearlised highliter helps, it gives areas of your face a
dramatic, luminescent look. Not shiny as in greasy, shiny as in the
beautiful glow of unglazed bone china.
I also find shading the hollows above the eye, whilst leaving the lower
lid pale (apart from liner) can look very nice. It brings light to
the eyes, as does a tiny bit of white pencil either just at the inside
corner of the eye, or just below the lower outside corner, a streak
pointing diagonally downwards. Has to be subtle though. This is the
big advantage of not painting one's entire visage as a white and
homogenous canvas; using colours paler than your natural colour in
small areas for effect can be very interesting.
Occaisionally a *very* subtle pastel powder dusted lightly over the
whole face can look wonderful, giving an odd effect, especially a
pale lavender or lilac colour - I don't use it heavy enough to actually
have a purple face, just enough to add an unearthly glow :-)
The sort of Gothclone white-face-black-eyes-oxblood-lips bit can
get *so* boring. A lot of people don't suit it, too, and you *do*
see folk about who are trying ever-so-hard to be a standard basic-model
goth but who just look daft that way. Nice occaisionally, but to sad
make-up lovers like me, it's way too unadventurous. You'll only
look as if you want to be in The Crow!
love

You're not kidding? My goodness!
Well, I guess my makeup routine isnt' as hard core as Josh's.
Start with the foundation..get the lightest you can and put it on
smoothly..like with a sponge (you can buy in CVS)...and make sure you get
your WHOLE face... Then add baby powder and rub it in. Now, some ppl
may disagree with me, but I believe in a little pale blush..but let's not
get into that. Men probably shouldn't go for the blush thing.
Okay...next...lipstick.
A popular goth lipstick is Revlon blackberry..it looks like
dried menstrual blood...it looks great..just put on two layers.
Or you could try putting on a black lipstick and then putting
a purplish frost lipstick over it..giving you dark purple lips...
Then there is my favorite...red! But I got a lot of flack for this
at the last boston-netgoth event. I guess the appearance of color was
just too shocking.
Anyway, I use a pencil eyeliner..it doesn't spill, and I think
it's more precise. I also don't do those interesting design things that
josh does.
Then take your mascara and get your upper eyelashes three or
four times..remember not to blink til they dry...
Oh, i forgot, pluck your eyebrows..
Now..lick your finger, and smooth your eyebrows..hold in place
with a little vaseline.

if you are willing to settle for a slightly less than firetruck red,
blush works very well. under the eyelashes on the bottom gives an
interesting effect, too.

personally prefer black, but hey to each their own. The place to get the best
red, or any other color, eyeshadow is through mail order to Bob Kelly
Cosmetics, Inc. They are basically a Theatre Make-up Supply company, so they
have a large assortment of unusual make-up. Their address is:

I haven't seen "Farewell my concubine" but I'll bet anything it's
not *eyeshadow*, it's rouge. You know, creamy stuff, comes in little
pots. Bloody hard to get the stuff in the west. Go to Hong Kong.

try using pastels. the chalk kind that you can buy in any art store.
it works very well.
and is quite inexpensive too.
just make sure that the colours are dark and not too light or too
bright. unless you want to go for the 80s look. which is sometimes
fun...
