Are you obsessed with Netflix’s new spin on The Addams Family and looking to incorporate a little goth flair into your eye makeup? You’re in good company! The show has a plethora of eye looks that will take your style from chic to altogether ooky. Here are four of the most iconic eye makeup looks in the show:


1. Wednesday's Everyday Look


This easy eye makeup look can be achieved with a black eyeliner pencil, or even by smudging lower lash mascara while it’s still wet. The key is to create a smoky, smudgy effect by rubbing with your fingertips. Because it’s all about emphasizing the lower lashes, this is also perfect eye makeup for hooded eyes. It’s wearable and eye-catching while being quick and simple—perfect for a girl with mysteries to solve. A waterproof mascara that will stay put is key.

2. Morticia Addams' Lash Overload


Catherine Zeta-Jones is always on point as Morticia in the show, and her vampy transformation comes courtesy of some high-wattage lashes. Unless you’ve used a lash-enhancing spell on yourself, you’ll need false lashes to replicate everyone’s favorite goth mom’s glam look. Get instant drama with these feathery lashes.


Morticia also rocks some super precise black eyeliner all around the lash line and the corners of her eyes. For this look, liquid eyeliner is a little too harsh and unforgiving. Instead, you’ll need a precision brush and a richly pigmented cream eyeliner like Rituel de Fille’s The Black Orb.

3. Principal Larissa Weems' Vintage Cat Eye


As principal Larissa Weems, Gwendolyn Christie is always crisp and polished, and her makeup reflects that. Her vintage-inspired look can be dialed up to dramatic heights with the help of a trusty liquid liner. In addition to the subtle winged eyeliner, she also uses a dusting of pale blue perfect for a pastel goth eyeshadow look. This look is an excellent reminder that goth doesn’t have to be all about darkness. An eyeliner stencil is essential if you want to create a truly dramatic wing.

4. The Ultimate Goth Prom Eye Makeup Look


Just feast your eyes on this gorgeous formal dark eye makeup for Wednesday. This gothic eyeshadow look is supremely elegant with a spooky twist, perfect for prom if you’re embracing your inner darkness.


Wednesday’s smoked-out smolder can be achieved with a rounded brush and a dark eyeshadow palette. Seamless blending is the name of the game for a classic smokey eye makeup look. This Maki Yika palette has all the luscious grays and blacks you’ll need.

Now all you need is your very own Thing.
