Hello!

My niece is 11, almost 12, years old. She is very interested in alternative makeup looks (think: completely white face). I wear makeup almost daily, but I know nothing about this style. I am wanting to take her to get a full face of products for an affordable price. Her mom’s only restriction is that everything needs to be latex free. Can anyone recommend me some products for her, or some stores where I could get her some alt makeup? I’d greatly appreciate it!

I’ve had a few really good responses on both of the posts I made, so I put together an Amazon List. I’m linking it here for anyone who’s curious! If anyone has any suggestions of things I should add or take away, please let me know!

hi! it's come to my attention that my casual makeup is strikingly similar to that of thoes stupid 'goth' OF girls. and i have actually noticed a negative impact on my life because of it. like the way that men approach me has changed for the worse. i tried doing inner corners but it doesn't suit me ( my eyes are really slide together lol ) has anyone got advice??

I didn’t had white paint 😭😭

(bonus my 2024 first attempt at last slide)

Did my makeup for the first time yesterday. The eyebrows aren't my favorite but I love how it turned out for my first time and it made me feel super good in my identity and my body!

I started doing trad goth makeup late last year and have only done it 4 times so far, but I'm loving it a lot. (Note: I didn't get proper photos of the 2nd time I tried this makeup as I didn't do a white base and was just practicing shapes). I bought a small pan of grease paint and am going to get some more in the future or look into a good white foundation. Funnily enough, I barely listen to goth music and listen to punk way more. But my political values and interests falls into both subcultures. My most recent time doing the makeup was heavily rushed as I had less than an hour to get it done before I needed to head to a local metal gig.

Please tell me how I did. I'm looking for some tips as a baby bat I just started make up. I'm trying to keep it cheaper and also unique. I'm not afraid to add color and I'm scared to try new things as a person to color in the Goth community.

This was my first time and I didn't have anything for my brows or anything but I'm going to get that later today!

Just curious as to what niche fits my personal style best, I love coming here to find inspiration. Ive toned down since high-school, the first 3 are older and the last is a new picture. Ive been conformed for too long and im ready to be the real me again.

Second pic is with the makeup freshly done

Still thinkin bout that pizza…

What do we think of the makeup look? Yay or nay?

I was just gonna do a couple stars under the eyes until I remembered I have free will. And who was gonna stop me?

I'm a goth leaning person, and I tend to wear "freshly turned vampire/just died" type makeup as my casual everyday look. Specifically, the shades "solstice" and "spirit". Unfortunately, bareMinerals doesn't make the Latte pallette anymore, and I've yet to find replacements for when these inevitably run out:( I'm sure there are probably some goth-leaning makeup brands that sell similar shades, but I'm terrible at judging shades from a screen. Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated!
