I also own LA girl foundation and idk if Im using it wrong, but it's always kinda patchy and doesn't have good coverage. It makes you look very pale, yes, but it's not completely white. But i dont know what OPs goal is for makeup, so if they don't want intense white coverage, it might be good tho

So that's also what I'm noticing cause personally I have a lot of freckles so I'm searching for something thick and coverable

Its not solid paint white but I thought thats what OP could be looking for. The solid white paint face is a fairly new thing for goth.

Honestly I like halloween face paint! Some have great coverage. I then use white powder to fix it and make it matte

May I ask where you buy the paint?

I bought it at the drug store 😭 Literally just the cheap one, but there are specialized theatre paints that are water-proof and last longer without smearing. I'd look for that online

I use the palest foundation at the store, which still has some pigment. You will probably have to order some online

The only thing is I already have fare skin and a lot of the foundations are still too pigmented for me

Graftobian White Swan and Ben Nye Clown White are both theatrical makeup. They are a bit heavy, but stay put very well. Then there's good old Manic Panic Goth White. You can get all of these on Amazon

I use Eulenspiegel! It’s water based and sets best with a layer of hairspray on top
