Those people cover their faces COMPLETELY in white. Nothing shows through.
And its not like anyone is going to go "wuh wuh whiteface stop being racist", because you are black so it doesn't matter.
Supposedly there are people in Japan who do the same things as shironuri but with other colors of paint. You could always try doing that if you are worried. Red could look pretty cool.

Looks fine to me. Shironuri is the white face part, anything goes aside from that. I don't like the gem stickers much with the outfit, and I feel like the lips are jarring.

So I asked on fb if anyone knew any recommended sites for someone new to the style, and got a pm telling me I shouldn't appropriate 'geisha' makeup, because Japanese painting their faces white was a big part of their culture. I... I don't even remember adding this girl as a friend.

White faces have always been a big part of Japanese culture, especially in theater. I guess shironuri is so costumey, it could be considered theatrical? Plus it probably has to do with looking otherworldly, or like a ghost, demon, etc.

It probably started out that way and then people like Minori came along and decided to turn it into something more artistic.

Shironuri makeup is used by some bands and artists but most of are associated with the clothing style/aethsetics of Showa-era Japan. Guruguru Eigakan, Inugami Circus-Dan, Suehiro Maruo, characters like Gokusotsu. There used to be more of a horror element attached to it but obviously Minori's influence has changed what people are putting into their shironuri designs.

Homestuck reporting in.
No matter what brand you use, white is going to be a pain in the ass. I personally use Kryolan Clown White, which is much thicker than their standard white. For best result get a WHITE loose powder. You'll need a lot to get your face completely dry but that means less of contouring and fallout will risk sticking. Prime with a face lotion and use baby wipes to get it off.

It's that bad. Patchy paint, stolen face/body designs from Minori and the dude in OP who I'm guessing started the face writing/horns trend considering his is the only one that looks decent compared to everyone I'm seeing so far with it.

On one hand this gives me hope that when I try this, I'll instantly have that confidence booster of "Well I know I've seen worse so I'm doing pretty good." but on the other hand, it's really kind of sad to see that even the Homestucks can do better basic face paint coverage than half the people in this tag for a fashion that's 10000000% based on having basic face paint coverage.
