Emo fans, also known as “Scene kids,” listen to emo music and follow the fashion trends of the 
genre. Emo fashion uses a lot of dark colors, but is distinct from “goth” fashion in that it uses a wider variety of colors, and girls tend to dress in more feminine styles.
Looking emo is not just about the clothes, though; makeup is an important aspect to looking “Scene.” The goal when applying makeup is to create a vampy look, according to Little Black Cherry.

Tips and warnings for Emo Makeup
- Add thickness to the eyeliner at the outside corners of your eyes to create a cat-eye look. When adding thickness to your eyeliner, paint the eyeliner onto your eyes a little at a time so you are less likely to make a mistake.
- To create a smoky look to your eyes, use a small makeup brush to apply the dark eye shadow over the outside corners of your eye, over black eyeliner.
- Use the toothed side of an eyebrow comb to rid the mascara on your lashes of any clumps.
- Emo lip makeup should only give a hint of color because you do not want to take attention away from your eyes.
