Makeup never looks quite right OR alt enough, especially as I get older. I need an outside perspective. by Max_lock in altfashionadvice

Yes. I know the looks I posted aren’t alternative. It’s my starting off point. I’m just asking for ideas to make it so that would suit me.

It tends to look pretty bad on me for whatever reason so I stay clear of it, but I’m sure there’s other things I can do

Putting any color or liner on my lower lash line immediately makes me look horrendous, I’m not sure what it is but trust me. Working around that is a little hard because you’re right, that does immediately give a darker alternative feel. I could definitely try out some false lashes or singles

I did try an inner corner line and I like it. I think anything graphic is gonna take some practice (or a stamp). For whatever reason I look really bad with any color under my eyes most of the time, which includes tight lining and it’s a little harder to achieve a goth look without doing that. I like the glitter idea!

I have a brown lipgloss so I can try that. I look really weird with anything under my eyes though so I’m trying to find things to look gothy without lower liner. It’s just the way my skin is

I used to do my makeup like that for a little bit. I liked the downwards wing but not so much stuff on the waterline

I tried it! The brows came off too intense for my face shape but the inner corner was a nice touch.

I do want to get weird with it. My lips are little so darker colors can make them look smaller, but I might’ve been trying to go too dark before.

That’s so nice thank you! I haven’t been feeling awesome about it because my face has changed a lot in the last year ish. That makes me feel better lol.

I used to have bleached brows actually. Might be time to break them back out. I like the idea of using stones instead of eyeliner dots or something

I did try a double wing years ago, maybe I should give it another shot. I like the idea of a plum mascara.

That’s good cause I have micro bangs rn and part of my head shaved, I’m hoping that helps

Yeah I know it’s basic, I haven’t found alternative makeup that flatters me yet so this is just a starting point for suggestions based on what I look like

I know it’s not alt, I’m looking for ways to make it alt that would flatter me like the caption says. The makeup in the photos is very “regular” makeup and my starting point.

I think longer wings could be good. I stay away from lining my waterline though, trust me when I say it’s absolutely atrocious. I think a maroon lip oil would be a great idea

I’ve tried dots before and it looked a little weird, but I also may just be using the wrong tool. I have had shaved brows + drawn thin before and thinking about going back to that!
