Oh this would have been so fun, but I can´t since I don´t have a digicam ;(
But I have a tip from "the old days" (I never was a real goth but I did the look for parties just for fun), I think the lips looks better if you get a more matte "corpse" look than a normal shiny one. To get that look, the easiest way is to use a black lipstick as a base, but most people don´t own black lipstick so take a ordinary black eyepen (a soft and creamy one is the best) and fill in the lips with. Then take just a little lipbalm on the lips to get the color more even and the lips don´t feel so dry, but just a little or you´ll end up with a mess. Then comes the more important step; white powder on top of it all, this makes the lips look really "dead" in a dark blue-grayish tone with a little cracked appearance. Definitely not attractive, but looks really cool with the rest of the goth look. If you don´t have white or almost white powder I guess a white eyeshadow would do, but it have to be matte and don´t use too much.
If you think this is too extreme and want normal shiny lips, you should go for a blackish red tone on the lips and not a full black one, witch looks so not good IMO.
Oh I so long to do a full goth look, but these days I don´t have friends that would appreciate it, they would probably run away in fear

Okay, ya'll be nice because I've never done a DTB before, but this looked like fun, so yeaaaah...
I'm going to apologize in advance because this was a quick job, my brows need mega waxing, AND my lipstuff was a little smudged, haha (OOPPSSS!!!).

Wow! FeistyFemme, you look amazing--nice job.
And, BTW, your eyes definitely take away from your brows and all, so don't worry about that
