Things You'll Need:
- Black liquid eyeliner
- Small angled brush
- Foam-tipped buffer
-
Step 1
Apply your eyeliner only after you have completed the shadow on your eyes. Make sure that your hands are clean and dry so that you do not smudge your shadow powder when applying the liner.
-
Step 2
Use a liquid liner instead of a pencil eyeliner. Because your goth look is characterized by a deep, dark crease in the upper eye, your eyeliner needs to really pop so it adds dimension and draws attention to your eye color. Liquid liner tends to go on smoothly and easily and is more sharp than a pencil.
-
Step 3
Select a small angled brush for applying your liquid eyeliner instead of the soft brush that is included in the tube. A small angled brush is easier to control and will help to ensure a perfect line the first time. Apply your liner as fast as possible, since the makeup tends to dry quickly.

Step 4
Begin at the outside corner of the upper eyelid, making the line thicker on the outside edge, like a cat's eye. Draw the brush down and in, coming as close to the lashes as possible, drawing the line to about 1/4 inch from the corner of the eye. Apply a thin line to the lower lid as well, starting on the outside corner and working about two-thirds of the way across the eye. Before the liner dries, smudge it slightly with a foam-tipped buffer.
