It's Black Friday inspired Gothic look

I'm a huge fan of Black Friday. She is an ultimate Victorian Goth and a very successful YouTuber. She posts videos with make up tutorials, outfits, vlogs, really funny reactions to hate comments and much more. I absolutely love her style and creativity and that's why I tried to recreate one of her signature looks.

First I primed my lids with white eye-shadow base. Then I applied white matte eye-shadow all over them. Next I drew a crease line with grey eye-shadow way higher than where is my natural crease to achieve bigger looking eyes. I elongated this line towards my temple. Next I drew a line along my lash line with black matte eye-shadow. I connected this line with the crease line. I played a bit with defining the correct thickness and shape. Next I went over this line with a liquid liner to make it more precise, sharp and more black.
Then I drew another line under my bottom lash line. I drew it lower than it should be in order to achieve big doll like eyes. I connected this line with the top line in the inner corners. Then I blended under this line with a black eye-shadow to make it more diffused because I didn't want the line to be too sharp.
Next I applied my foundation and I set it with a powder.
Then I continued with blending the lines and adding more darkness. When I was done with eye shadows I applied plenty of mascara on my top and bottom lashes. Black Friday wears beautiful extremely big false lashes which I didn't have at the moment, so I had to do without them.
Next I defined my brows with a black eye-shadow. I made them different than Black Friday does simply because she shaves her natural brows off so she can draw any shape she likes but I like to have my natural brows so I have to adapt my brow shape to them.
As a last step I put on my liquid lipstick from LA Splash in shade Venom (which is pure black).
