What is 80s gothic makeup?

In the 80s, gothic makeup was characterized by heavy, dark eyeliner that was often applied in thick lines around the eyes to give them a dramatic, smoky appearance. Black or dark purple lipstick was also commonly worn, and pale skin was often achieved with the use of powders or foundation that was several shades lighter than the natural skin tone.

Other elements of 80s gothic makeup included a focus on dark, dramatic looks that emphasized the eyes and lips, with black and dark purple shades commonly used for eyeshadow. Accessories such as thick choker necklaces and studded bracelets were also popular, helping to complete the overall gothic look.
