Quick Emo / Goth Makeover
![]()
Whether you’re just trying to see how you’d look in a different style, or you’re messing with a friend (or enemy’s) picture for laughs, changing someone from a “normal” look to a “goth” look is both fun and easy.
In this Photoshop tutorial, I will step you through some easy techniques that will allow you to quickly and easily recreate this effect on your own photographs.
We’ll start with her eyes, and create a new layer. We’ll set the opacity of this layer 85% and use a black brush to color in around her eyes. Once we’ve got it how we want it, we’ll use Filter > Blur > Box Blur with the Radius set to 20px to smooth out the “makeup”:
Moving on, let’s create another new layer. This time, let’s choose a white brush with the opacity of the brush set to 7%. We’ll paint over her entire face to give it a more pale complexion:
Let’s create another new layer for her lips. We’ll repeat the process that we did with the eyes.
For her hair, create a new layer and set the Blending Mode to overlay. I’m going to use pink:
Here’s the final image of her all goth’d out:

I’m afraid of clowns! :O
omj that totally looks like a clown poser….. gawd this sukkseh
I thought black around the eyes and black lipstick was goth? And a white face? And colored hair? Well, in appearance I mean. I do believe goth goes beyond appearance, but appearance is what we’re discussing. Anyhow, so extreme goths aren’t actually goth? You can’t wear a lot of makeup? I DO! And my white powder is whiter than hers. What are you supposed to look like then? She’s scary, she’s freakish, she’s goth! I’m reminded of when I went to school and all the goths thought I was a poser. Grow up. She doesn’t look like a clown. Clowns have red noses and lips stretched out like Ronald McDonald. And I always got more attention than those pathetic “goths” did based on how I looked. People were legitimately frightened of me.
