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!!!

What do you think?

Hi, made this look the other day. I haven't done makeup for some while because of my mental health and some recent hospitalizations for it. But I finally got some energy over and I did some makeup. I'll probably post some other ones too in a bit. But this specific one I'm not sure if I like it or not. I'm leaning towards not liking it. So I'm curious what you think!
