Emo makeup is a throwback beauty trend that emphasizes dark eyes with cat-eye shaped eyeliner, using a smoky eye technique. Typically, lips and cheeks are kept simple with natural toned makeup. The following are some ideas and tips for doing emo makeup:
Positive:
-
Smoky Eye Shadow: Use dark eyeshadow to create a smoky eye effect. Start by applying a matte shade of eyeshadow across the eyelid, then add a small touch of black eyeliner towards the outer 1/3 of the eyelid. Blend the darker eyeshadow to create a smoky effect.
-
Matte Foundation: Use a matte complexion foundation to achieve the emo makeup look. Apply the foundation with a makeup blender to buff it onto your skin.
-
Pale Lips: Emo makeup tends to leave the focus on the eyes, so pale, barely-there lips are the best way to not detract from your eye makeup.
-
Layering Eyeliners: Layering different shades of eyeliner, such as black and gray, can create a more dynamic and textured look.
-
Accessorizing with Piercings: Emo makeup often goes hand-in-hand with alternative fashion, so consider accessorizing with piercings to add to the overall aesthetic.
Negative:
- There are no negative aspects of emo makeup.
Ingredients or Materials:
- Eyeshadow
- Eyeliner pencil or liquid liner
- Foundation
- Makeup blender
- Lipstick (optional)
- Piercings (optional)
Overall, emo makeup is a style that emphasizes dark eyes and a smoky eye effect, with natural toned makeup on the lips and cheeks. The look can be achieved with a combination of eyeshadow, eyeliner, foundation, and lipstick, and can be accessorized with piercings to add to the overall aesthetic.
