At its simplest level, girlmonstering is refusing to meet society's standards of pretty; it's using makeup to make yourself something out of society's nightmare. It's not fangs and blood (though sometimes it is) -- it's blue lipstick, green hair, red eyeshadow. It's what everyone you've ever known has told you is off-limits in terms of makeup. It's using makeup to make yourself feel pretty, but not by society's standards -- it's what you want. Sometimes it's making yourself ugly, because sometimes that's easier. And really, sometimes it's just not putting foundation on. This is a fantastic post about feminist makeupping and why some people do it.
