Come join the unmerry as they make their way to the next Halloween costume party in a gothic costumes. Gothic costumes reflect this turbulent cosmos and speak their own special message about all those creepy things that used to live only in our nightmares. There are things to consider when making gothic costumes in order to make them effective.
Here are a few tips to achieve the perfect gothic look. Whether you build or buy your costume, these are essential elements:
• Think black, black, black
Color is a no-no. You must drench yourself in black. Check your closet for capes, gloves, shoes, sweaters, hats, socks shawls; anything that might work. Black make-up is a must as well, both for men and women. Buy some cheap eyeliner and the darkest, dreariest lipstick you can find. If you want a contrast color, it is possible if kept at a minimum.

It doesn’t always have to be a well-known person per se, but maybe a specific profession or idea such as: a Gothic nurse, witch, French maid, priest, stripper (you get the picture).

• Get and organize your gothic clothing and make-up
For women, a black dress will serve as an effective base for the costume and for men, any black suit or black pants and a black shirt will do as the foundation for gothic costumes. Many women already have a black dress. If you don't think you'll wear it again, take a razor blade to it and tear it up to give it a darker look--The same goes for men's suits.
• Paint your face and get dressed (not necessarily in that order)
Think big eyes and dark lips and you got it. If you want some extra color, add deep purple or very dark blue. You can go for black lips but be warned that other partygoers may try to resuscitate you (or let you die depending on the party). Slick down your hair with baby oil.
