im in the miiddle of going emo/scene. but I still dont know how to do emo make up. can any one tell me how.?
Ok, there's few tips, sorry it's long :)
Take your emo eyepaint or eyeliner and apply it carefully on the bottom of your eyes. Make sure you get close to the lash line. Start on the inside corner of your eye and make a thin line going to the outside of your eye.
Apply your eyepaint/eyeliner in the same manner on top. Try for a rounded edge on the outside corner of your eye. Apply a healthy amount of eye shadow to your eyelids after the eyeliner has dried. You can create a shadow effect by applying a thin amount of a dark coloured eye shadow all around your eyes.
Apply one coat of black mascara.
If you want to, use foundation in a tone slightly lighter than your skin tone, or your own skin tone. Put a tiny bit of lipstick on. Blend it well into your lips and blot some off for a tinting affect.
Don't overdo the makeup- you may look like a poser. Quick note: If you have a very light skin complexion and maybe even darker eyes, you may want to use like a dark brown (close to black) and/ or a crimson color. This will not be to harsh on your skin tone!
apply colored eye liner under your black; use eyeliner on top lid too.
I have been doing that make since I was 10! I'm 14 now. if you use pitch/jet black kohl eyeliner shut your eyes tightly for 2-3 seconds it coates the top so it doesnt smudge your eyeliner as much, then re-apply to the bottom lid and smudge downwards slightly, so it will give you a sort of hazey/smokey eyed affect then add some pinky eyeshadow or eyeliner below and smudge that so it looks a bit darker pink round the eyes but it will only work if you have got quite light skin, for eyeshadow I use a Raven black (thats my name for it), it has a green and blue tinge when the light hits it, you can get it from blue banana its called stargazer eye dust and its number eighteen, I recomend it, its sooo good. and just put it on and smudge it outwards and go into a slight point, its very sexy ;) I dont bother with lipstick or gloss bit if I do use it I use either just a clear gloss or a pale pink but not too much, dab off you lips slightly after you put it on and rub your top & bottom lips together and voila! perfect emo make-up. for scene its basicaly the same exept you have lots of bright luminous/contrasting colours.
first I want to say that there is nothing wrong with being emo.. and we arent all rich white kids who feel sorry for ourselves. emo isn't always a stereotype. it's also just a way of being. but for the make up, try using some powdered eye liner. eye shadow even works. any dark color works, (I used purple for my brown eyes, but black and brown look nice too). you can buy brushed that are shaped like a line, and they brush on the eye liner very nicely. it doesnt have the defined look of a pencil, instead it kinda smudges and fades towards the edges. only downside is it comes off a little during the day.
I'm not goint to be rude. But seriously? WHY? Trends stop growth. If you are going to be a sheep please remember that Scene kids look like 80's rejects. && the 80's sucked. Following lables and sterotypes just makes you a poser. Wear the clothes you like and f**k whethere or not it's emo enough to fit in with the other self-pitying rich kids (aka emos)
If you are still not convinced on being yourself you could try youtube, wikihow && just the interenet in general but please think careful before you commit yourself to that boll@cks.
put on a lot of eyeliner but not to much..apply to both bottom and top and be sure to put little points on the end of your eye ..emo makeup is pretty ez if you have any more problems you could aways go to google and look at pic of emo people and look at there make up there are may ways to do emo make up...
okay im not here to judge you but seriously...I went through this...TOTAL waste of time. Heavey makeup leads to saggy and wrinkled skin do you seriously want to look 75 when your fourty? Lmao.. but I guess you could try photobucket or youtube.
If your using a pencil,to get a nice even dark coat of eyeliner, I take a lighter and melt my eyeliner for like, a fraction of a second. Then it goes on really easy and smooth.
well not to be rude or anything, but I wouldn't do this if I were you
if you really want to, just put on A LOT of black eyeliner...just dont start to cut!
sigh
Someone else who gets caught up in labels...
Try youtube search:Emo Makeup
Labels are so overrated - seriously is being yourself THAT hard?
You can look at other peoples pics and get ideas from that!
