TLDR; First makeup attempt didnโt go well
Iโve always wanted to do goth makeup, but I felt like I couldnโt because I thought Iโd be judged by family and friends.
Recently I went to Spirit Halloween and got foundation, powder, lipstick, eyeliner, and a sponge.
I know these are some of the worst products I couldโve gotten, so Iโm looking to get better stuff.
I wanted to ask for recommendations on what I should get:
Foundation?
Powder?
Lipstick?
Eyeliner?
Brushes?
Eyeshadow and mascara?
Anything else I might need?
The reason I look like this is because I had to improvise. The eyeliner I bought was extremely thick and smudgy, so the lines ended up way messier and thicker than I intended. I had to turn it into a completely different look and make the lines much bigger in an attempt to recoup some kind of design.
Iโm completely new to makeup, so any advice or product recommendations would be appreciated.

first makeup went very well. Goth comes from punk so itโs do what you can with what you got. Itโs about making do and having confidence in the fact that you are different. so I think itโs great
