Gothic Punk - How to Get the Goth Punk Look






Gothic Punk - How to Get the Goth Punk Look

The gothic look draws its influences from many sources. Clothing typically emulates that of the middle ages, Victorian age, or early twentieth century. The make-up is heavily dark, with use of black eyeliner by both male and female goths.
This cosmetic style is thought to be influenced at least partially by the early silent film actress, Theda Bara, whose large eyes, dark make-up, and dark hair was especially striking on screen.
While gothic punk isn't a style all its own, it's common for goths and punks to share some similarities in their dress and attitude. Both are fiercely independent and believe strongly in self expression.
Typically, both are meticulous about their specialized hair styles and make-up. It is in choice of color and fashion that the two differ the most.
