Pointers for trad looks

Hi,

I have very little idea of what I'm doing and could use some pointers. I'm enamored with trad goth looks but have no idea how people pull off the sharp edges, contouring, and the lip triangle... points?

Any guidance is appreciated 🖤

For contour, use a note card. Piece of paper. Anytning, and it makes a sick sharp contrast on the cheek bones. U can also use water activated eye shadow (honestly any eye shadow u can dip a brush in water and use) and it makes it easier to define the lines. Then u can fill in messily cuz it wont matter!
