If you are in love with gothic fashion, Halloween must be your day. Choose your dresses carefully. Go for the ones that are hued mystical blue, blood red or dull gold.

One cannot think of Halloween without black lips or the ones that look like they are drenched in fresh blood. And let us tell you, moss green or lime green lipsticks are also in fashion now, along with the innumerable shades of purple. Eyes are the most important parts of your face for that perfect gothic look.

As for the accessories, you can make extensive use of wigs; artificial fingernails that give an appearance of death and decay are perfect. You must portray the same dark, forlorn look in your attitude.

You can sport smoky eyes and roll on some dusty kohl, smudge it all around your eyes. Let some of the liquid eyeliner rolls down in a beautifully dirty manner.
