All things lace

 I've been pinning away on my inspiration board for Claudia and have come across some really incredible creations. A lot of images i am drawn to have been involving lace which is always something I've associated with the word Gothic.

I originally wanted to incorporate a lace lip (see image below) that i had seen on Instagram a while back but since researching i have found more interesting ways of using lace to make an effective look.

This image to the right really stood out to me, i like how the lace covers more of her face and it looks more mysterious which i think is fitting as Claudia is a mysterious character, she doesn't really know who she is and is definitely a person that would step outside the box with her look.

I have also thought about using lace as a stencil so instead of sticking on the lace to the face i could airbrush or paint over it so the pattern transfers onto the skin. The image below inspired that idea and also shows how it doesn't need to be black to show Gothic elements.
