This is for those of us that don't always fit into the meta looks of MUA.

SFX makeup, goth makeup, editorial looks, bold, colorful, alternative, or other looks that you just can't seem to find represented and celebrated anywhere else!

Feel free to discuss other makeup related products as well, we accept everyone (except cotton headed ninny muggins)

This sub is dedicated to the wonderful artistry of unconventional, alternative, counter culture makeup as well as SFX, body art, theater makeup, editorial, goth, cosplay, and digital makeup. This is not the place for bemoaning neon eyeliner as being inappropriate for work, nor for seeking out no makeup-makeup looks. This is a place where you don't have to be model-esque to post, you don't have to be a pale princess to get upvotes or advice. You don't even have to be a woman- all genders and gender expressions are welcome. So share with us your face doodles!!!

Makeup Recommendations please!

Heya everyone, so my makeup collection is kinda outdated. I’ve been collecting makeup over the years and have some great products. I just feel like it’s time to start renewing my collection as most of the products are old. What do you guys like? What are your go to products? Btw I love anything bright, colourful and glittery.✨
