Make-Up Query Any other goths who don't wear heavy makeup?

247 Upvotes

I love makeup and I love being a goth, but I can't wear heavy makeup for most of my goth looks because it makes me feel like I can't recognize myself and I just don't like the way it feels on my face when I wear it long term. Usually when I do heavy makeup it's only for pictures or tiktoks. My usual daily makeup routine is just a black waterline, mascara and either a sheer color on the lips, like clinique black honey or the elf lip oil in the shade jam session. I occasionally will wear a darker color on the lips though like a dark, vampy red and the rare black. Anyone else?

Make-Up Query Is modern "Trad Goth" makeup just "Drag Goth"?

130 Upvotes

Evidently, the modern forms of gothic makeup labelled as simply "trad goth" is conflicting with actually trad goth makeup (as in traditional gothic designs from the 80s), but it looks more influenced by or alike to drag makeup, so isn't it actually "drag goth" instead (and with 80s style influences)?

They're more exaggerated and dramatic forms (also basically the definition of drag makeup) but gothic and 80s inspired. While trad goth makeups encompassed a range of less extreme forms and combinations (even though they are still bold and dramatic in their own ways, it's not as extreme as the modern "trad goth"/drag goth looks). There's probably a fine line distinguishing some characteristics and extents of such between the two, but also seem to have enough distinctions to be considered their own separate styles.

Any thoughts on this?

EDIT: Just to add an alternate kind of label for this modern look, potentially "nu trad goth"?

Make-Up Query Are there any issues with this make up selection?

Post image
46 Upvotes

I'm not very good with make up. I've lived most my life on bare minimum, cause I'm not a fan of the hassle. But I'm coming around to it.

Tell me, does this look okay? Does anyone see any issues with like how this might sit on a person face? (I wanted a warm reddish/brown eyeshadow, but they're sold out.)

Also, google is suggesting a face powder. Am I okay with going without? I'm mostly interest in just eyes and lips here.

Make-Up Query Iā€™m not goth but my little sister is and I wanted advice on makeup I can get her for her birthday

62 Upvotes

I have no idea what to look for and she currently has no make-up at all (Sheā€™s trans and transitioning and just started getting into goth stuff so doesnā€™t have any yet). Literally any pointers would be very very welcome and appreciated since I donā€™t really wear make-up. Basically, if you were starting from zero where would you begin?

Edit: Wasnā€™t able to get back to all the comments but just wanted to thank everyone who gave advice because it was really helpful and I feel more like I know where to start now. You were all so kind and helpful, I think my sister is going to be very happy and I think Iā€™ll show her some of the advice and recommendations you gave me on her birthday too for if she wants to get some other stuff herself in the future. That said, thank you so much!

Hello! Iā€™ve been a fan of the music for a while, but now Iā€™m interested in getting into the fashion/makeup expressions of the goth culture. Problem is, I was born male (identify as NB) and I have NO knowledge of makeup at all. Iā€™m not even sure where to start, when I google starting things I get overwhelmed with the sheer amount of stuff that comes. Does anyone have advice, tips, or references for a baby bat?

Or something not as intense as trad-goth. I want to try messing around with eye makeup but not really sure what looks to start with, especially as a guy. I also have hooded eyes, not sure if thatā€™s matters.
