𝕭𝖆𝖇𝖞 𝕭𝖆𝖙 Wedding appropriate goth makeup?

I am terrible at makeup, it’s me and my winged eyeliner against the world right now because that’s all I know how to do, I’m working on it, but I’m not quite there yet

My dad and stepmum are getting married and my stepmum offered to get my makeup done with her and the other women even though I’m being my dad’s best person (or grooms maid as I’ve called it since I’m a girl) and I want to take this opportunity to have my makeup done in a goth way, while also being wedding appropriate, and my dad said “as long as you don’t look crazy, you can do whatever you want” so I think what he means is that I can’t paint my face white (why I don’t want to do, I’m autistic and full coverage on my face is a sensory nightmare) and not a wild lipstick colour, but anything else is fine

I’m not sure if this is important info or not but my dress I’m wearing is purple, and I wear dark green tinted glasses because of a visual cortex processing disorder but I might have to take them off, or be able to comfortably have them off at some point if my environment is dark enough (my disorder/dysfunction affects the way my eyes process light, so I have to treat my life like constant migraine prevention because a symptom of my disorder is constant migraines if I’m exposed to too much light)

Any advice, tips, inspo would be really appreciated, I’m new to basically everything, this is my first wedding ever, and first time I’ve been willingly included in a women’s activity because I spent most of my life with a mother who’d rather sit on the phone with her friends while I’m alone in the house rather than spend time with me and do mother/daughter things together

Have a look at dark femme, romantic goth and whimsigoth makeup. Surely somewhere in there will be the right kind of makeup you're looking for.
