I am getting involved in my local goth scene and want to bring my love of Japanese gothic/visual kei white-face makeup with me. Post inspo, tutorials, and tips! Selfposts are fine too

It's Black Friday is trad goth but takes inspo from visual kei and Japanese gothic aesthetic. Her makeup tutorials are worth a watch.

not jfash, but Drac Makens's makeup tutorials are creative and include a lot of techniques that can be adapted for Japanese gothic looks. she does some artistic stuff (rosary eye makeup and bat wing liner are two i would like to try). hate her lips though, she goes too large.
something like pic related but with false eyelashes and better lips could work. her blending/layering of colors on her eyes and the designs she draws are what i like best

not sure if it's just the overexposure but Mana seems to do little/no contouring, often hiding his cheeks with hair. for white face looks, even if you copy Mana-sama, do not skip contouring. use grey-undertoned shades to bring your nose and cheekbones back.

christ I was gonna self post and there's already pics of me here that are 5-10 years old, so at least here's some more recent stuff. Sorry for not having more relevant tutorials. I don't use white makeup often, but I also don't really consider it to be different from my other makeup, aside from foundation color.
>>8952889
nice work, and thanks for being inspiring even in past versions of yourself
>>8952889
>I don't use white makeup often, but I also don't really consider it to be different from my other makeup, aside from foundation color.
Do you find it stays on just as well?
>>8953920
I use Mehron clown white and have had good results as long as I use primer first and set with a ton of baby powder. Using baby powder works waaaay better for me than regular makeup powder and also looks smoother to me. I have extremely oily and acne prone skin and my white makeup has held up through 16 hours that included eating multiple times, going to a concert, and getting very drunk.
>>8944392
Anon, the goth scene will probably hate you for that. They will like it as far as it will be edgy, but if you say it is inspired buy the visual kei etc... They will probably hate you.
>>8954180
what makes you think that? i doubt anyone will care, no one usually comments on makeup besides to say they like it, it looks cool, or whatever.
i mean we are talking real life, not the internet.
>>8954180
Greetings from a 90s goth, a lot of us got into visual kei in the late 90s, early 2000s. I'm not sure what gives you this idea.
>>8954180
Ah yes the hivemind goth scene.
>>8954023
noted, thanks!

interesting tip:
>We also shaded below her brow line to create some depth. That can be achieved with a bit of water and the tip of a cosmetic triangle/spongy thing (or even a wet Q-tip) and downward movements on the skin to blend the grey aquacolor downwards fading it out as you go (darkest by the brow line and then lighter as you descend).
THE SOUND BEE HD. These guys are so nice. The bassist You has always been such a sweetheart to me. And she speaks good English.
>>8944851
yoooo someone else who watches her? I love her style
>>8972580
Gonna miss them bad
>>8983868
yep, hope she uploads her wedding video soon.
i really love how her visual kei/lolita past influences her tradgoth look. when her husband did her makeup for their recent tag video, he went straight for that German gothic look and the contrast highlighted (for me) their different influences.
>>8946804
What's the eyebrow dotting supposed to represent? Saw Blade 2 recently and pic related has them. Is it a vampire thing?
>>8985453
if i remember right, she wanted something simple so the eyes would get the attention. she often does odd shapes for eyebrows or skips them entirely.
>>8944851
I miss goths. The stuff we have nowadays is a lot more shallow.
>>8985867

an anon shared this in another thread. it is a theory of why subcultures are not a big thing anymore.
i would add to it that social media helped speed along the downfall. at least there are fewer posers now?
>>8985867
Goth as a subculture is crazy and cringey. Its tiring listening to people say someone is not 'goth enough' because they like a certain band or not enough bands or some other shit. Its all pretentious ego boosts.
>>8985893
half this board is complaining about who is/isn't a real lolita or cosplayer so i think it is fair to say that attitude is not exclusive to goths
>>8986061
this
>>8986061
It isnt exclusive to goths by any means, but the manner is different. Lolitas bitch on the internet about people they do not know. Goths bitch about people who live locally and it isnt about a bigger community.

Drac Makens is practically a western Shironuri artist in all but name. her technical skill is fucking insane.
i will be buying her lipsticks (black with red shimmer and blue with red shimmer) and will report back. for now i am watching her review/demo on black lipsticks:

>>8992744
>>8992747
>take care of skin
>buy well-reviewed cosmetics
>practice for a year
>still not very good
>nowhere near skilled enough to attempt a proper kote-kei or shironuri style look
how long does it take to level up?
>>8992744
ha, saw her at desucon frostbite
>>8997221
and?
>>8995124
>>9001004
Favorite black lipcolor?
>>9001009
i use liquid liner, but it doesn't stay on while drinking. will be ordering some $4 lipsticks to test.
>>9001009
Recently, I use Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in the color Witches, but before that, I'd just use any very dark lipstick for texture and fill in with a Nyx black lipliner. The Kat Von D stuff goes on smooth and opaque, doesn't feather, and stays on really well. Would recommend.
>>8944866
Cool but her eyes look so irritated
>>8944404
Gosh i love this makeup...I wore it out a couple weeks ago
>>9001009
Jeffree Star's liquid lipstick in Weirdo is absolute perfection. Opaque, applies in one swipe, applicator is a nice shape, doesn't smudge off...but it has a gross scent if you're sensitive to smells.
>>9004746
>her
Not exactly shironuri but could serve as inspiration.
>>8945333
this is so fucking cool
>>8952193
Someone should invent a barrier spray for clothes. First spray to seal your paint and another that doesn't damage or stain your clothes (collar, sleeves) but prevents paint from rubbing to them
> tfw would buy
>>9006911
this, so much.
also capping images with this rare Mana
>>8946804
ohhhh i love Drac Makens. I think her personal style suits not having lashes but adding some would def make it more j-fash
anyone got any tips on getting inner eyeliner points neat when your eye lid has folds in that area? Is any particular type of eyeliner best for this? I have no problem winging mine out with gel liner, but it seems really fiddly and messy in the inner point
This thread needs more Angura.
>>9012146
image cap ya silly goose
>>8944392
kawaii! ^_^
I want to marry Yohio tbqh desu...
used Mehron barrier spray for the first time. protip: do NOT spray directly around eyes. 3 days later and my eyelid is still irritated.
>>8944392
So we have The Sound Bee HD here, so this is mostly relevant. On their album Dawn Of The Dead, the repeat a certain lyric, and I have no idea what it is. Yami no something. If anyone knows, please help!
>>9012165
I want to get fucked by Yohio.
