The Latest in Emo Makeup

Emo hairstyle is nothing without the right makeup. Girls and guys both need to know the latest in makeup trends in order to complete their emo look. Since most of those ladies at the makeup counters in the mall aren’t going to understand emo very well, you can follow these simple tips to get your emo makeover.

For guys, a touch of black eyeliner is really all you need. Apply a thin line of it on the top of the eyelid and also directly under the eye. Gently rub the lines so that it looks a little smeared. If you are a hard-core emo guy and you really want to stand out, you can also use black polish on your nails to complete your look.

For the girls looking to work on their emo style, foundation, eyeliner, eye shadow and some pale lipstick are the keys. The focus of the makeup should be the eyes, so make sure to use pale foundation and lipstick. The foundation should be a paler shade of your skin tone so that the color of the eye shadow really pops on your face. To do the eye makeup, you should start with black eyeliner on both the upper and lower lids, smudging it to get that dark, smoky look. Then use bright eye shadow colors like pink and turquoise on your upper lids as a contrast to the black liner. Mascara is another great touch, as it will compliment the eye shadow. Another tip is to use eyeliner in the color of the eye shadow. Put that under the black liner that you put under the lower lid and your emo makeover is finished!
