How do I dress and use makeup so people stop calling me goth and emo?
ok. let me rephrase the question since i don't think anyone understood quite what i meant last time. People think i am emo and gothic. What i meant when i asked how to get people to stop thinking i am, i meant like how do i put on my makeup and dress so that i won't look goth or emo?

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Wear bright colors,Always have your hair up in some kind of bun or poinytale. Wear bright colored make-up too. Avoid wearing the colors black,red,or even sometimes grey often.
Point is though,Your fashion shows who and what you are,So be you and don't worry about what other people think.

Dont wear a black shirt with black pants. Wear bright colors. Put your hair in a pony tail or a bun sometimes but dont ever wear your hair hanging down in your face.your eye make up wear eye liner, mascure. Your eye shadow can be dark but put like tan or white lighty over top of the real dark colors. no dark lipstick.

Don't wear makeup (except maybe a little red lipstick or lip gloss), let your hair go to a natural color and style it in a more conventional fashion.
The emo look on chicks sucks anyway. Let your hair grow long because women look best when they do that.

Here's a great idea.. why don't you just be yourself?? Who cares what other people think of you. If they want to believe that you're goth, fine let them. What are you trying to prove?? Why do their opinions matter so much? If they want to call you goth, just turn away from those people with your head high, because the thing is- you KNOW you're not goth. The fact that you posted this question says " i know i'm not goth" So if you know this.. then why do other people's opinions matter?
If it bothers you that much.. just change the way you look. But don't change who you are. Don't change your inner personality because thats the real you. And if you change that, then you are being somebody you're not.. which is unethical and immoral.
Here are some ideas-
dress more girly, wear skirts, dresses, wear push up bras, wear high heels, wear less makeup (since goths wear tons of makeup) dont use eyeliner. Use a sparkly eyeshadow (like a silver or light brown) wear some lipstick (not too bold, just a shade darker than your lip color, or even nude color) wear lip gloss, put some blush on your face. Change your hair style, wear your hair down, curly, straight, put in some highlights and lowlights, smile more, be more outgoing and friendly, show off something like your legs or your smile, be proud of yourself and walk with your head high.
Dont let other people's stupid silly useless opinions break you. Just be yourself and you can find people who appreciate you for who you are, and who wont try to change you...

Goth and emo are characterized by lots of black. Dark clothes, possibly with bands/chains/studs on them. Heavy black eye make up. Dark hair, usually styled like this for girls:

It isn't that hard to change your style. Wear brighter colors. Wear brands that aren't associated with goth/emo, like Hollister. I recommend Forever 21.
Form fitting clothing will also help. That doesn't mean you have to wear skin tight garments, but show off your shape a little.
As for make up, don't go heavy on the black eye liner. Try a neutral eye, or maybe some spring colors like purple.
If you are pale, its easier for people to assume you are goth. Try sweeping bronzer over your cheeks, forehead, and nose.
If your hair is dark, people can also assume you are emo or goth. Try adding some girly touches, like side swept bangs, or fun headbands.
Don't change your style just to please others, but if you need a refreshing change, those tips can help.
