soft goth or alt girl makeup
how to achieve this look:
prep the face with skincare and let it dry completely.
use a spoolie to brush a lighter concealer through the eyebrow hairs.
shape your eyebrows and use a concealer or foundation that matches your complexion to carve and clean around your freshly “bleached” eyebrows.
apply foundation to the face and blend with a beauty sponge.
use your concealer on the high points of the face — i.e. forehead, under the eye, above the lip, and on chin — then blend with a small brush or beauty sponge.
with what’s left on your makeup applicator, carve out your cheekbones. think of it like creating an upside “L” from under the cheekbone and blend in a square shape bringing the product down to the chin.
apply a concealer two shades lighter to create a bright under eye. while this dries down for a few minutes, apply a darker concealer in a cool or neutral shade to wherever you want to contour — i.e. forehead, nose, under the chin, and cheekbones. blend the under eye first with a clean powder puff and blend your contour with a clean brush or beauty sponge.
choose your powder bronzer or brown eyeshadow to contour your outer eyelid. find a lighter eyeshadow in your palette, from silver to a light nude, and apply to the center of the eyelid. bring the product into the inner corner of the eyelid. dust off the excess eyeshadow and use a tapping motion to prevent fallout on the face. then use the brown color again to lightly blend the two eyeshadows together on the upper eyelid, connecting to your nose contour.
do the winged eyeliner that’s best for your eye shape. then take a black eyeshadow and angled brush to smudge your bottom waterline. this is where you can apply your mascara. pro-tip: save this step for the car if you’re running late.
apply powder blush on the cheek. placement depends on face shape. for this look, place your blush on the upper cheekbone and into the temples. make sure to blend where your under eye concealer is seamless.
take the clean side of your powder puff or use another clean puff to apply loose baking powder to the areas you concealed. don’t drag the product. tap the product on the back of your hand first, then tap the forehead, under eye, and under the cheekbone. and whatever product is left, lightly tap where you get the most oily. for us, that’s our t-zone.
take your powder bronzer and reinforce your cream contour. bring back the glow to your forehead, temples, nose, and under the cheekbones and chin.
reapply your blush and sweep away any loose powder under the eye. we tend to use the same brush here because we like a pink bright under eye, but be careful not to use a dirty or wet brush here.
our lip combo is simple: brown lip liner, nude brown matte lipstick, and nude lipgloss.
finish with your makeup spray of choice. sometimes we’re dewy girlies, other times we’re matte babes.

e-girl makeup
how to achieve this look:
begin prepping the face with your skincare and primer. we like the neutrogena niacinamide skin prep.
after everything dries down, spot conceal any imperfections with a concealer that matches your skin tone. use a small clean, eyeshadow brush to blend the concealer.
use a darker concealer to contour around the forehead, jawline, nose, and cheek bones. blend with beauty sponge.
place lighter concealer under the eye, away from the waterline and blend towards the center of the face in a triangle shape.
apply powder blush on the apples of your cheeks and powder bronzer on the top of forehead and on the eyelids.
cut the front ends of the right and left eyelash and glue to the ends of your eyelash. then use mascara to blend your eyelash and demi wispie lash together.
for this statement red lip, apply ruby woo matte lipstick first, then go in with the fenty beauty hot cherry gloss bomb.
