Move the little moon up on your forehead a bit. It'll channel less unibrow and flatter your features better!

It's a great classic look, otherwise. I see tradgoth in it!

I don't know why you got down voted here, but since you were asking for other advice and most of it seems to be about your moon placement, I'd contour less on your nose (you have great features, you don't need it) and more on the cheeks. Honesty tho, you look great and if you're happy with it, don't change a thing.

I would place the moon a little higher above your brow, cuz it kind of gives you the illusion of a unibrow. 😅 Also, dont be afraid to use color even in goth makeup! A deep wine burgundy, egyptian gold, earthy browns like decaying leaves & mushrooms, velvety royal purples, and even smokey rose or silvery grey tones all look great with white and black and can give your look more depth in the eyes, cheeks & lips. Pat McGrath has some gorgeous eyeshadow palettes that work great for goth makeup. It all depends on the look you're going for. Romantic goth? Grunge goth? Cyber goth? Corpsepaint? These all have different palettes you can experiment with.

Like othes said, the moon nearer to the forehead. But for a first try the lines are really well done!

Someone mentioned moving the moon up, which is what I'd also suggest; is it a stamp? If not, I recommend making/getting one so it comes up more uniform.

More color would be good, too; purples or pinks under the eye to contrast, and some soft rouge for the cheeks to sharpen the look if you want that.

I don't see anything wrong with your makeup though I have some idea you could try adding to your next makeup look: harsh nose contour, a little drawing under your eye, other types of eyeliner, big cupid bow.
There is no right or wrong in makeup, it's all about expressing yourself. You can even add some colours if you want to.

Goth makeup isn’t really something to improve it as much as it is making it your own. Technically speaking this is great! Symmetrical wings & eyebrows, smooth lipstick, and the moon element makes the look unique!
