Goth doesn't *have* to be *black* - I reckon make the most of your blondness rather than pretending it's not there, and go for paler than pale. Powder your skin really white, line your eyes with white liner, use some silver mascara and silvery blue/very pale pink lipstick, and trawl some charity shops for an old wedding/bridesmaid dress (or just a lacy white dress). It could look incredibly striking.

How much fun that will be!!!!
The first rule to be a Goth is to be drained and pale. It’s GOOD to be pale!
For your eyes, line your eyes with black liner….HEAVILY! Make sure that your eye-brows are darkened so they are not that blond color. Second, add wings to your eyes, or some nifty detailing with that black eyeliner. (Wings are those lines that go past the top lid…usually they flare up towards the temples.)
Then, with eyeliner dried and in place, put on shadow. I would go with bright colors, like pink, blue or even a red. GO NEON! Despite what others say, bright colors go with Goth!
Now, if you are worried about being super pale, it’s ok to add a bit of blush!
Now for your lips, I would go with a red lipstick or black lipstick.
Now as for hair, go for crazy! Have fun with it. And for clothing black is always the best choice!
Have fun!

okay WITHOUT looking dull and drained people!! Okay.. Put on black eyeliner (top and bottom and thin) Take some black eyeshadow and just do the inner and outer part of your eyes. Then take a lighter color (pink, blue, purple) and shade the middle of it. It will give you the goth look but not TOO much. Try it and tell me how you liked it. Thats how I do my make up eveyday (not nessisarily black but the same idea with different colors) But make sure to do your dark!!

If you don't want to look drained and what-not, then go with charcoal grey eyeshadow, or a deep purple-don't forget the eyeliner, though!! There are plenty of ways to look "goth" without the black. With the lips, go with deep red, or something to that affect.

get that wash out hair dye. Do any color you like. Black would be better with your fair skin. Also use black fingernails. Dark eye liner..my step daughter is into this stuff. She wears this red eye shadow and puts it on top and a bit on the bottom. It really makes her look dead. I hate it but I'm hoping it's just a stage. Sometimes she looks so stupid. Also wears black all black. Good luck and have fun!

Grab yourself a long black wig (should be easy to find as its nearly halloween) and use a lot (too much) black eye make up. If you look dull and drained you look like a goth! mission accomplished!

Seeing as i'm a dark person I'll do my best to help!
black eye liner is usually the top thing for goths.
put patterns all over your face, however.
i use liquid but hey, you don't have to go to extremes.
black eye shadow sets it off aswell.
go mad! splatter it all up to your eye brows!
lips you can use black lipstick,
but i doubt you'd have that...
try a red, deep blood red. or dark red.
i usually outline the red lipstick with black so it gives a nice effect.
for your hair, just get a load of moose or hairspray and mess it up!
but if you care loads about your hair then don't do that.
for clothes, you can just wear black really.
sexy clothes with the fishnets and kinky chains dangleing down from you or just miserable black coats and what not.
i'll go for the sexy look to be honest mind!
find some big killer boots too.
sorry if i went on!
have fun at the party!

keep your face pale. Get some of that red ( or bright) hair dye that washes out with one shampoo. And Red Lipstick. i Have the same features
