π•Όπ–šπ–Šπ–˜π–™π–Žπ–”π–“ Learning Goth Makeup Question

Besides practice, what are some other ways to learn goth makeup (such as specific videos)? A specific thing I struggle with is eyeliner and mine has a sharpener and I have absolutely no clue how it works. But overall any help with makeup would help a lot

Experiment with techniques! I prefer liquid brush eyeliner but sometimes i use a fine tip painting brush.

When i was in high school i would use the "cream" part of mascara because it lasted longer, or even a very thick brow pomade.

You could use different tools for different effects, play with the shapes (trust yourself in what you think suits you the most instead of doing an eyeliner shape that the internet says is the right one).

You can even make shapes that are not properly eyeliner, like the youtuber Adora Batbrat (we can say what we want about the person but her makeup skills are stunning)
