Cybergoth/Industrial Goth Makeup Inspo

... Read moreHey everyone! I've been absolutely loving diving into the world of Cybergoth and Industrial Goth makeup lately, and I just had to share some of my favorite tips and tricks with you. It might look super intricate, but honestly, it's so much fun and surprisingly achievable – even for beginners! My absolute go-to is adding those iconic circuit board lines to my makeup. It instantly makes me feel like a total cybergirl, ready for a futuristic rave or just a killer everyday look. Let's talk about those stunning circuit board eyeliner designs. You literally only need a good liquid black eyeliner and a flat, fine-tipped paint brush. I find that dipping the brush directly into a pot of liquid liner or using a gel liner with the brush gives the best control. Start by sketching out the main lines – think geometric shapes and sharp angles. Then, add smaller perpendicular lines and dots to mimic the intricate patterns of a circuit board. Don't be afraid to connect some of the lines or leave others freestanding. The key is to keep your hand steady and build up the design slowly. If you make a mistake, a cotton swab with a tiny bit of micellar water is your best friend! While black is classic, don't shy away from color! I’ve been experimenting with neon goth makeup a lot. Think vibrant green eyeshadow accents, electric blues, or even hot pinks and purples, as seen in some of my favorite inspo pics. For an amazing green goth eye makeup look, I love blending a bright matte green on the lid and then adding a shimmering green or silver glitter to the inner corner or along the lower lash line. The contrast with the black circuit lines is just chef's kiss. You can also incorporate these colors into ombre lipstick—a black base with a neon green gradient on top is incredibly striking. Beyond the lines, the eyes are where a lot of the magic happens. Dramatic eyeliner is a must, often extending beyond the natural eye shape. I've even seen people use white contact lenses or special circuit board design contact lenses to really amplify the sci-fi vibe. For extra sparkle, glittery false eyelashes can elevate any look, taking it from cool to absolutely otherworldly. And if you're feeling adventurous, try incorporating symbols! I've experimented with a radiation symbol design around the eye, outlined in black and filled with bright yellow and green – it's a bold statement that perfectly fits the industrial aesthetic. To complete the full industrial goth makeup look, think about accessories and hair. I often pair my makeup with black goggles worn on a headband or green dreadlocks. These elements really tie everything together and make you feel like you've stepped right out of a cyberpunk world. For those days when you want a subtle goth makeup look, you can simplify the circuit lines to just a small detail on the outer corner of your eye, or opt for a single bold color accent instead of a full neon palette. It's all about playing around and finding what makes you feel fantastic! My advice for anyone trying these goth makeup looks? Don't be afraid to experiment! Practice truly makes perfect, especially with intricate designs. Invest in good quality products that are long-lasting and highly pigmented. A good makeup primer and setting spray will be your best friends to ensure your artwork stays put all day (or night!). There’s so much goth makeup inspiration out there, from classic trad goth makeup vibes to the more extreme cybergoth styles. Every brush stroke is a step towards expressing your unique inner aesthetic. So grab your eyeliner and let your creativity flow – you’ll be a cyber goth masterpiece in no time!
