Any tips on dark, slightly gothic eye makeup?

I am a huge Suicide Girls fan, and I love how they can wear the darker, kind of heavier eye makeup. But every time I try to do it, I look more like Alice Cooper. Anybody got any tips or tricks?Any tips on dark, slightly gothic eye makeup?
Start darker and use lighter products as you work your way out. Try a black liner around the entire eye and use grays and silvers outward. (on the bottom lid try to stay as close to the lower lid as possible, to avoid the racoon look)Any tips on dark, slightly gothic eye makeup?
Use lots of liquid eyeliner


By using liquid eyeliner, you can design thick black lines onto your top eye lid, making your eyes stand out a lot





Hope it helps :D
if you use a smokey technique making it darker under the eyes and fading up on the lid it will give you the type of look you want!
