Emo Eyeliner

The eyeliner is a vital component of the emo fashion and goes hand in hand with the emo hairstyle. It is a must-have for all individuals who adhere to the emo lifestyle. But how do you use the eyeliner to be considered emo? What color will you choose to complete your emo look? Is there a special type of eyeliner for those classic emo eyes?

If you want to go for a completely emo look, or simply want to use the eyeliner the emo way, then you need to know the basics in the use of emo eyeliner.

Any brand of eyeliners will do as long as you’re comfortable with it.

When choosing the right color for your emo eyeliner, go for black or any dark-colored ones as dark shades are the heart of the emo look.

However, although choosing the right type and color of emo eyeliners are important, the real essence of using eyeliner the emo way lies in its application.

Most emo individuals apply dark and thick eyeliner all around their eyes, the thicker and the darker the better. It may take a little practice to perfectly create those darkly lined emo eyes without smudges. By following the steps below, you can start using eyeliner the emo way.

Apply cover, blush, or powder first as these products not only make application of eyeliner easier but also help it to stay.

Draw a line on your upper lids, from the center to the outer portion, narrow to wider.

Finally draw a line on the lower lids using the same technique above.

    Im only 11, but I wear emo makeup everyday,and how I do it is I do a cat eye thing, with wings on the end, and all liquid eyeliner, or do a big, smudged look. And I’ve been doing this for years, and I’m good, better than my mom and sisters. So trust me, smudged looks emo, and the cat eyes, sharp, no smudging looks scene.

  10. Emily on December 13th, 2009 at 11:37 am

    so i have dirty blonde curly hair and i have NO idea how to do an “emo” look. i really like it and i dress that way but i dont know how to do my hair the way i want…i dont really want to straighten it but i want a really good looking curly hairstyle that could work for me. ANY IDEAS??? (i was thinking about flattening my bangs and lightly curl my hair out of the tight ringlets)

  12. daniidecay on December 22nd, 2009 at 9:14 pm

    the real trick is to use liquid eye liner. you can use regular but it smudges wikkid bad. I’m not emo but im scene so believe me i know :] and dont use the cheap liquid eyeliner, that will make it worse haha
