Looking for inspiration

Model is a Withdoll Ian, elf version, wearing Egon's default outfit.

I've had this guy for about a year and I'm finally looking to do his faceup. I'm not great at it and it's been a while so I'm nervous and out of practice. But the biggest stumbling block is I can't decide on a palette. He's a moon elf (based on a dnd character), so I'm thinking blues and purples but I'm not sure I can make it look natural rather than like he's wearing lippy, or turning into a zombie. He came in white skin but I have dyed him a very light pink to take the edge off.

So I'm hoping some people here might have had some success with similar colours and would be willing to share pics for inspiration. Or any tips? Will navy eyebrows look weird? How do I give a hint of a "bluish tinge" without making him look like a 70s glam rocker who let a toddler do their makeup? Or if I'm having a good day, Lulu from FFX?
