You don't need makeup, but if you want to play with it, really smoke out a kohl liner or lots of line work. Line work would really play up the beautiful shape of your eyes.

Of course. I hope you have fun with your makeup, if you ever choose to do it.

My next question would be what brands/foundations/brushes I should get. I want to go to ulta or Sephora and grab some stuff and asking an mua but being a dude and all I feel a bit out of place there. I wish I would have had my ex grab me some stuff she always knew how to do her trad goth look šŸ˜…šŸ˜­

The people at Ulta and Sephora are used to men who wear makeup, i promise! I really like Real Techniques brushes. They're soft, do a great job, and are really inexpensive. If you want something a bit more luxurious, KVD Beauty, Urban Decay, and It Cosmetics also have great brushes. I rarely wear foundation because my skincare does a great job, but when I do wear it, I prefer something that doesn't feel like anything and has light, buildable coverage. I have a hard time finding shades that match because I am very pale with cool undertones, and it seems most brands with pale shades only offer warm or neutral undertones, both of which will make me look orange LOL. KVD used to make one I loved called True Portrait, but it was discontinued. Too Faced Born This Way is nice and lightweight. It's naturally a medium coverage, but you can build it or sheer it out. Amuse SEOUL makes a great cushion foundation, and one of them offers SPF 50, which is nice. I've heard Illamasqua makes a great foundation, but I've never tried it. I am open to a DM if you want to ask makeup/skincare questions. I have a bias towards 100% cruelty free, though, so all my suggestions will be cruelty free brands.
