My costume is going along with a gothic look. The theme color is blue and black(duh). So what are some good make up tips? I am Youtubing some but some are wayyyyyyyy out of my skill.

Apply foundation and powder. Try to go for paler colours if you’re more tanned. I wouldn’t recommend adding blush or bronzer because the gothic feel would be gone. Keep it pale.
Apply a thick line of black eyeliner underneath your lower lash line. Wet an eye shadow brush and dab some black eye shadow messily over the top.
Using a sponge or brush, smudge some of it underneath to give it a smokey effect. Something like the black shadow in this would look good.

Take a black liquid eyeliner and line your upper lid, winging it out in a vine style at the end. Wet another eye shadow brush and apply a blue or aqua shadow to your entire lid.
Curl your lashes and apply a thick amount of black mascara. For lips, mute them with foundation or apply a black or blue lip stick.
Here’s some inspiration:

Basic eyeliner (Liquid or pencil will do). Create a dark line under the eye (as near to the lashes as possible, but not on the inside as this makes eyes look smaller ) and maybe on the top. Falsh lashes? Black lipstick is a must, and maybe some false piercings to top it off.

apply a dark base of possibly navy eyeshadow, then blend with a medium-blue
if you want a doll-ish/dead effect then you could also apply blush

Urban Decay has the best makeup for Goth looks — dark blacks and purples that are sophisticated and not cakey. This gives a more glam effect rather than an undead appearance. lol. Check out some info here:
