There's no denying it: goth is back. From the black lips and Rihanna's PUMA x FENTY Collection to Marc Jacobs' beautiful dark Victoriana collection at New York Fashion Week, those of us who are strange and unusual are having a major beauty moment.
So let's look deep into our dark, tortured souls and get really angsty with 14 goth beauty icons guaranteed to inspire your eyeliner game.
Nancy Downs from The Craft
Making being the weirdos — and oxblood lipstick — cool since the '90s.
Siouxie Sioux
Cat eye goals. Eyebrow goals. Hair height goals. QUEEN.
Morticia Addams
She is literally our everything. Look at that blended eye shadow and those incredible nails!
Elvira
Elvira's signature makeup look involves a lot of pink, blue and violet eye shadow — showing that, while black is the chosen non-shade for goths everywhere, color shouldn't be the enemy.
Eric Draven
Smudged eyeliner is always sexy.
Robert Smith of The Cure
Robert Smith's favorite lipstick is Ruby Woo by MAC ($16, MAC Cosmetics). Same.
Gaz
Forget your pastel goth nonsense; Gaz is the REAL reason we want to dye our hair purple.
Lydia Deetz
You don't have to spend a million dollars concealing your under-eye circles. Be inspired by Lydia and let them run wild and free.
Marilyn Manson
Red lips, fire eyebrows, blue eye shadow up to the hairline… MM has always inspired us to take risks with our spookier looks.
Fever Ray
Blondes need goth love, too.
Claudia
Have angelic golden ringlets ever looked so devilish? Claudia is proof that you don't need to lacquer up your nails with black polish to have a soul full of darkness.
Death
Death's Robert Smith-influenced hair and creative use of eyeliner have made her a beauty icon for the ages.
Alice Cooper
The inspiration for the makeup at the Marc Jacobs F/W 2016 show, Alice remains the original proto-goth. Mascara game so strong.
Yolandi from Die Antwoord
Brb, cutting baby bangs and bleaching my hair immediately.
