Emo Makeup

Emo is an abbreviation for emotional. It started of as a style of music that is lyrically honest and quite melodious. Eventually, it translated to a style of clothing or particular look. Plaid shirts, suspenders, hats, Chuck Taylor shoes and jeans are just some fashions staples of those with an emo sense. Alongside emo fashion is emo makeup.

 

Unlike other makeup styles, emo makeup is quite dramatic. The focus is on the eyes, so dark bold colors are used. Eyeliner and charcoal or black eye shadow are extensively used. To further enhance the eye area, black mascara is used for a bold and dramatic effect. The lips are downplayed so oftentimes, a soft neutral shade is used, or perhaps even only gloss.

 

Emo makeup necessitates that you start off with good clean skin. This will set the perfect canvas for your look. At the same time, you need to take care of your skin especially if you use a lot of makeup, so be sure to take off the makeup at the end of the day before you go to sleep. Never sleep with makeup on your face because you need to let your skin breathe so you don’t breakout into acne or zits.

 

On your clean face, sparingly apply some foundation. Powder and liquid foundation are the easiest to apply and give ample coverage. Next, apply the eye makeup. Remember that this is the focal point of your emo makeup so you need to get it just right. Apply enough shadow on the eye lid and remember to extend it outwards using your makeup brush. This will clearly define the eye. Apply eye liner and finish it off with your black mascara.

 

Don’t use a bright colored lipstick. Gloss should be fine. Practice in front of a mirror the proper application techniques of emo makeup. Pretty soon, you’ll get it just right.

Your Questions About Emo Makeup Ideas

Sandra asks…

what are some good emo/goth makeup ideas?

see i’m emo/goth and i ahvemy own ideas for makeup but they get boring i just want to know some of ya’lls!

vangin answers:

Red eye shadow is hot! But it isn’t supposed to be a mask it’s more of a stain

also try purple eye shadow or green eye shadow

but always shade it and make it look natural as if it were regular eye shadow

and a cute little princess lip…like just a heart in the center (very victorian very goth)

think haute couture instead of goth…maybe you could take influence from anime or tokyo street style

good luck :)

Mary asks…

I was wundering If anyone had some emo makeup ideas??

I have straight bangs and long bangs at side with the back of my head hair a bit under my shoulders! :P

vangin answers:

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.

Your Questions About How To Do Emo Makeup For Guys

Lizzie asks…

please read why did my mom flip out?

my mom went crazy when i told her i was dating a emo(tional) guy (2 years older) why? shes like most everyone stereotyping them she said “YOU ARE NOT DATING SOME GUY WHO WEARS MAKEUP AND CUTS THEM SELVES” then i told her hes not all about that and she said ” WELL YOU CAN CHOSE WOULD YOU LIKE TO NOT DATE HIM OR BE GROUNDED FOR 3 MONTHES?” and like that im grounded for 3 months no ipod or tv for 3 loooong months i like him allot why can’t she understand i still have my cell and the cpu (she dosn’t know i have his phone number and he has mine) (which is lame we have been dating 2 weeks) so we can still talk and right now we are texting we are so open with each other i feel like i can tell him anything and you can tell he does (he said he still is afraid of the dark) it takes allot of guts for a 15 year old to say that. what should i do how can i make my mom like him? me and him have so much in common (sniff..hes seen more x files shows them me sniff…) what would you do

vangin answers:

Idk ur mom’s weird…
My mom would like it better if i dated an”emo” guy rather than some cholo
she thinks theyre nice
but she still dont like the make up thingxD

just tell her that she shouldnt judge ur bf from the stereotype…she needs to get to know him first…thats really f*cked up

Thomas asks…

Two questions about punk/emo/gothic…?

First, is there a difference between any of the three?

And second, how can anyone enjoy being in black all the time??? Black clothes, black makeup (even for the guys, which is really wrong in my opinion), wacko haridos… I’m sorry to judge, and I know it can be a way for people to feel they’re not alone, but still… what could be so reassuring and fun about living in a world of such dark and… vulagrity? I don’t mean to cause anger, thinking that I’m insulting anyone from these groups, I’m just very confused about it…. and what about those people who cut themselves??? Is that really the only way they can let out anger and pain? Can’t they just have a good cry and punch a pillow if needed or something??? A lot better than what certain others do… anyway, please don’t answer with disrespect as I have said nothing of the sort and thank you for reading! Only real answers please. Thanks.

vangin answers:

Yes there is a difference. Punk is they don’t care what people think, to a point, they are into skateboards, and they are mature in the mind even if they don’t show it. Black is just a popular color cause that is normally the background of a bands shirt. Emo stands for emotion kid or adult. They are the ones that cut (you cant truly understand why they cut even if they did explain it to you all I can tell you is that is their punching a pillow anyway) and they don’t flaunt it but every one knows, they do as they please and say what they want no matter what happens. They are not crazy or weird like what some people think. I actually have some friends that are emo. And finally there are two kinds of Gothics. There are the real ones that worship the devil, believe in wickens(witch’s that are more or less into the herbal stuff), and yes do wear nothing but black. The other kind of Gothic is the ones that dress, think and do everything like the real ones only they don’t worship the devil. However, neight one of the Gothics are numb to life they just don’t care so they seem dull in their emotions sometimes. And for the second question, since I guess you could call me punk, I like to wear black cause . . . . . . . Its comfortable, its a color that I like, and it may not make a lot of sense to you but when I wear black it makes me feel like there is this huge blanket wrapped around me, making me feel like nothing too bad can happen. I feel connected to the color. Like, how some people like certain colors over another. However, even though I just explain to you all this, they are no different then any one else. No one is the same and that just makes the world more colorful. You cant put a label or status on them just their personally if you have to label them at all.

Laura asks…

PLEASE READ MY POEM! its about my thoguhts when i was yougner and how they have changed…?

I used to look at people like me in discust
I thought skulls were ugly
And any color besides pink was “boysih”
I didn’t udnerstand why they wpre so much makeup
Or why they had a bang covering one of their eyes

There music I HATED!
Because i liked disney!
Hot Topic scared me
And makeup on guys looked “fruity”

I thought cheerleaders and princesess were what everyone wanted to be
Sad things amde me cry
and I felt bad for all of them being depressed
I THOUGHT EVERYONE WAS HAPPY

But I’ve changed my mind on alot of things
Like now, I think skulls are cute
And every color EXCEPT pink is awesome!

alot of makeup is good to wear when you want to hide your face
And I think a side bang is the best thing to do with your hair

I lobe rock, emo, and punk bands
And I hate Disney now!
Hot Topics my favorite store in the mall
And makeup on guys is SEXY!

I know princessess are fake
and cheerleaders are stuck up

But the main things I learened
is that steriotypes are stupid, but its human nature, they arn’t gonig away
and…
BEHIND EVERY SMILE IS A PERSON DIEING INSIDE

tell me what u think! i qwas bored when i wrote it and idk if I like it or not…Its alright I guess….just tell me what you think!
thanks!
haha yea i cant spell!!! lmao and yea it needs LOTS of work its jsut a first draft

vangin answers:

I like it needs some work but most of your writing is awesome so im sure the next draft will be great =]

Joseph asks…

how do i look pretty much dead?; Jennifers Body?

okay so for drama i have to look like jeniffer (megan fox) did when she got hungry and all. like before she talks to the emo guy, she looks ugly and dead and shes complaining how she looks bad, shes pale and has circles under her eyes and all that, i need to look pale and dead ugly like her how do i do that with makeup

vangin answers:

Get a powder that’s 2 shades lighter than your skintone and apply it to your face. Use a brownish-grey eyeshadow to put under your eyes, and dab some concealer on your lips to make them look pale and dry.

Steven asks…

How do I change back to my old self ?!?!! HELP PLEASE !?

I use to be a pretty outgoing girl and I still am , I didn’t wear as much makeup and I guess I was more sluttier ? Idk , but I was pretty chill about everything except certain stuff , and I listened to “nice” music . Which I hate now . But then I changed , I didn’t want to be known as “one of the sluts of the school .” So I changed….everything . My clothes , my hair , I wear more makeup , my taste in guys….well I always thought the skaters/emo kids were hot but still , and everyone’s like “I miss the old Rachel , what happened to you ?” and I’m all like “I grew up and I didn’t want to be known as a slut because then guys wont want me for me just sex .” but , idk what I should do , should I change back or stay the way I am now ? It’s reallly confusing because I like myself this way but almost everyone hates me this way . What should I do ?! and if you think I should change…can you tell me how ? I keep thinking and trying and idk how to or even what to do anymore . Thanks(:

vangin answers:

One day when you’re 30 you’ll look back and realise that you had not ‘grown up’. At all.

But then i guess being fashion obsessed and self conscious is part and parcel of being a teenager.

Just do what you want and enjoy it.

Your Questions About Emo Makeup For Boys

Robert asks…

Foo Fighters – “Cheer Up Boys (Your Makeup Is Running)”?

This is the upcoming 3rd single from E, S, P & G. LOL @ the title and I guess the lyrics support this, who agrees with me that this is supposed to trash the very emo, makeup covered bands (like PATD, FOB, MCR, etc). I like all 3 of those bands but Foo Fighters detroy all of them so LOL @ this I cant wait for the video fot this song, knowing Dave Grohl its gonna be hilarious.

ROCK ON FOO FIGHTERS!!
Well hes not really trashing it, I see it as sort of a shot towards them, but more of saying that they are going overboard with their character and that they set bad examples for younger fans, just pretty much saying tune it down a bit

vangin answers:

It’s not a direct trashing of emo-ness, Grohl said in an interview it was supposed to be something uplifting in the middle of the album. Not really trashing emo just kind of saying get over it I guess.

Richard asks…

EMO.BOYS. A question.?

Emo boys question please help answer?
My cousin is asking if emo boys or boys who like to dress emo only date girls who are emo or girls who dress emo. My cousin isn’t emo but has similar taste and she dresses funky and has an awesome chill personality. Would any emo guys go for her even tho she doesn’t wear heavy makeup or have her lip pierced? She really loves the emo boy look

and why are most emo boys gay?

vangin answers:

No, emo boys can date out of their “group”. Some people look beyond how they dress and look at their personality. And it’s not being gay its being bisexual.

vangin answers:

:) THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION!

I could soooo relate to your cousin!!

I am veryyveryyveryy into emo boys, and i am not very emo.

I am more on the scene side, so ya.

And no, they don’t only date emo girls. I mean, they don’t date uberuberuber preps, but they don’t only date emos.

And thats just how the emo scene is. Emo guys are either bi, or just makeout for fun, its harmless stuff.
