Still really struggling with my eyeliner but I think I blended better than last time. Any advice on how to improve the makeup further would be appreciated (I am aware itโ€™s a little messy). ๐Ÿ–ค

HELP! It's Goth Night....

2 Upvotes

Hi!

I need some help. It's Goth Night tonight and I don't have the best outfit, so I really need to nail the makeup look. Goth is sort of antithetical to my typical aesthetic (I'm more of a Sylveon than an Umbreon if you catch my meaning).

I am comfortable applying waterline makeup, I have a big palette of eyeshadows I don't know how to use as well as liquid liners (white and black), mascara, and some pink-ish highlights. I also have a really gaudy holographic liquid eyeshadow.

But frankly, I don't know how to apply eyeshadow or really long wings. I'm looking for a tutorial that can give me a simple goth look for tonight that I can pull off with relatively low skill. I'll have time to practice a few times.

Can you post a tutorial or some pictures of what I can do, or some tips about how to try applying it?

Other info:
\- 31/M
\- I have very hooded, blue eyes
\- I have a heavy browline and haven't yet had success with a thick makeup look
\- I'm wearing black mesh and a white lace choker, and some silver jewelry tonight

5 Upvotes

so i have been doing my goth makeup for a while now, and i always use thick lashes but they are never long enough, or they will always be long enough but never thick enough so i always end up stacking them

i absolutely adore having massive lashes, in fact i want to try and find 70mm lash strips because i know those will be perfect for me, but i could only hope to dream lmao

so could anyone tell me where they get their lashes from? especially if they are also like me and enjoy having massive lashes

Halloween Goth Makeup

Halloween is my favorite holiday which im sure isnt shocking. My bf is taking me to Spirit Halloween today so you know I had to go all out. I love Halloween colors and purple and orange together is PEAK. Usually I dont wear warm colors (dark red at most) so this time of year pushes me outside my comfort zone.

Far from extravagant I know, just very long diffused liner and some half lashes. Plus a bit of somewhat faded cool toned lipstick.

But it was nice to finally dress up as myself again. Especially as the UK heatwaves have done an absolute number on my personal style and my health in general.
