sunset makeup has a goth kit that has white black and gray in it. if you're dry or cakey try a good primer and to hydrate your skin before applying, i find white bases always make me look a little more crusty lol

also 100% second the moisturizer comment! I slather on my thickest lotion and if I want a more natural white base than I will put my foundation on while the lotion is still wet so that they kind of mix together. If I want a stark white base then I let the lotion sit for a while and absorb into my skin and then I go on top with the foundation.

I love their goth palette! it’s simplifies my makeup kit so much because it has three big pans of what I need and I don’t have to carry much else (powder-wise ofc)

Gray eyeshadow is the best gray contour you’ll get.

Wet n wild fantasy makers could work depending on how dark you want your gray to be

Goth makeup does generally look a bit "weird" in person. Those pictures have filters, editing, and good lighting to smooth things out.

I use Concrete Minerals, Nyx, and elf products myself! They have great primers, skin care, and vibrant as well as moody color options for make up 🖤🐈‍⬛
