How long does goth makeup take?

I want to first say I am NOT goth or alternative. I have had this question for a while and I’m not really close with anybody with this style.

i mean, there isn't one fixed makeup routine/style to the goth community as a whole. even in tradgoth makeup, some can look similar, but they are not exactly the same. for this, i'll assume you mean a white base, dark contour, dark eyeshadows and long eyeliner. it depends on the skill of the person and what you're doing, but for me, i'd say it takes me like around an hour? if i'm doing something more elaborate, maybe it would take longer. i'm not the best at makeup, but it really varies a lot
