Emo Makeup for Boys


Emo Makeup for Boys
While emo makeup looks easy for even guys to wear, what they need to remember is that, the aim is to highlight the look and not look like a drag queen or a two year old who was handed a makeup kit. Boys do not have as many color options as girls do, which makes it important to get the makeup right with a minimalist routine. Given below is a step-by-step guide on how to apply emo makeup for guys. Following these emo makeup tips will help you achieve the desired look.

* First and foremost, you need to apply the foundation for the makeup. Use a sponge to apply foundation all over your face and neck. There is a misconception that emo makeup needs you to look pale. In fact that holds true for goth. Therefore, use a foundation that is the same shade as your skin tone or only a shade lighter. If you want a slight glow on your skin, then apply a lotion before you apply the foundation.
* The most important part of the face to focus on, even for boys, are the eyes. Eye makeup defines the emo look. Most men tend to stick to basic black for the eyes, though if you want to feel adventurous you can opt for red as well.
* Start with the eyeliner. We suggest you opt for a pencil eyeliner, as for a guy, a more smudged look sits better. Starting at the inside corner of the eye, line the bottom lid. Make it as thin or thick as you want it to be. Boys should skip applying eyeliner to the upper lid.
* The next step is to apply the eyeshadow. Apply black eyeshadow all the way up to the eyebrows. After you are done applying the eyeshadow, you can apply the mascara. Be careful about not clumping up your eyelashes.
* If you want you can apply a nude lipstick to complete the look or even opt for lip balm to just make sure that your lips are not cracked or unsightly.
