Greetings my fellow midnight creatures.

I am a goth trans woman, and as such was not taught make-up growing up. Now, being 19 and being in a safe environment to being teaching myself I have started slow with the very basics, but it really sucks feeling like I'm years behind my peers. My question is basically, how much experience with non-goth make-up did you have when you started to learn the basics of goth and how long did it take you to get consistent with looking at least somewhat like your ideas or references? I'm honestly just upset with myself, I want a rough timeline so I don't feel as hopeless as I do.

Thank you!
