MAKEUP
Your face is your weapon...
The typical uber will strive to make their face resemble that of an old china doll. The eyes being one of the main focal points of the face, for as we know the eyes are beleived to be the gateway to the soul, so our dear uber will attatch as much as possible to this gateway, including some fancy curls and spirals (Just to make sure we see how wide their gateway is).
Remember that the uber WANTS to be looked at so that they can complain about stuff to you. The make-up actually works in the same manner as a pretty purple and green flower in the amazon or a bright orange insect... This is not a mating call, more a sign that they are poisonious and to BEWARE.

One of the most usefull things for our ubers is that the eye-makeup will run if their eyes water even the smallest amount, this will make them look EVEN more upset and after a small amount if time some poor fool will venture a conversation with them and ask "Whats Up". At this point you should try and rescue this poor soul from what WILL soon happen to them OR you can just watch from a distance and be happy that it isn't you. The make-up can be quite pretty and sweet looking and give the adsent viewer reason to believe that THIS IS A PERSON who is sweet, innocent and quite a sensitive soul.
This could not be further from the truth. Yet again another trap.
*NOTE* The cuter the Uber-Goth, the more depressing they will be. Don't get me wrong, not ALL cute ubers are totally depressive and poison, you will on occasion find a nice one who is a genuine person with their own views and will just be like anyother person.
These are few and far between, so PLEASE just be carefull out there. Now to the actual face itself.
The complexion should be as pale as possible so that a striking resembnlance to inamal is accomplished.
The best way to get this colour is to either avoid all nutrition for a few years, apply lemon juice to the face over a few months (my mothers tip) or apply as much white foundation and white powder as possible.
The main problem with the face make-up is that they will also clog up their skin with oils and chemicals. This then means that to cover up the spots and sores caused by the previous days application, they have to add even more foundation the next time.
This can continue for a period of years until the fabric of the face totaly gives in and they have to deny their uberism and return to a normal complexion once more.
Basic Makeup Ideas:
FEMALE:
If you are a female uber you should strive to be as fragile looking as possible so that you can entrap men at your will. What you acually look like under your foundation is not quite as important as the amount of squiggles that flick out from your eyes, the more elaberate the better.
Try and make the design Celtic to that you can make people think you are interested in the "old ways/pagan". Try and make your lips as small as possible with your black lipstick (deep red/purple optional) so that you have a constant "I just ate a lemon, HELP ME" expression at all times.
Basic Makeup Ideas:
MALE:
The face should be pale and narrow, if you can starve yourself for a while all the better to get that gaunt look. Eyes should be heavy with eyeliner (almost to the point of irritation) and if possible a VERY simple squiggly.
If going clubbing The Crow look should be used to imply that you are sensitive, involved with death in some manner and very artistic.
Contrast seems to take over the Uber when it comes to the system they use when they apply their face garnishes.
You would think that this OVER ELABORATE gateway to their soul would be so that we can see their inner beauty and heart, alas this is just another ploy.

Choose your chade with CARE!

IF ALL ELSE FAILS
----------------------
OK.... You have hit bottom, you can't find your extra long lasting eyeliner that stains metal... Your crimpers have melted the cat again, and your at a total loss of friends after the last bout of poetry....
DO NOT PANIC!
One method is to be CUTE... It seems to work quite well.
Always carry about a small cuddly toy incase of such terrors!
This will also put your new friends/victims at ease and they won't know what to think of you and will start to listen... THEN they are YOURS.

-=SOME TIPS=-
Eyeliner:
Get a large quantity of cheat eyeliner (BLACK OBVIOUSLY), the expensive stuff wont go thick enough to last a whole week without smudging and giving the panda effect.
Crimpers for the frizzy uber look:
If you smash them open (or use a tool) shorten some wires and then they get hotter even faster giving you a better crimp, also you may die in the process if you wire it wrong.... which would be a bonus as you would die looking GREAT:)
Finger nails:
As long and as black as possible, one good trick is to place a small pin under your little fingernail so that you can scratch your face without scooping off hords of white powder and sludge (aka Stargazer white foundation) alas this has the problem of leaving your face full of holes.
Extra makeup:
Handy for filling holes created by small pins.
AND ABOVE ALL....
BE DEPRESSED
