Acquiring an Emo makeup is one way of getting into the fashionable and latest Emo look. Emo has indeed conquered the hearts of a lot of avid fans as admirers of this music genre pose in the likeness of their icons. Manifesting the Emo look comes not just in the way posers carry themselves to give an identical Emo appeal but also the right Emo fashion and hairstyle. Emo fashion is oftentimes associated with the Gothic fashion. Although these two has some basic similitude still, the Emo fashion’s major distinction is characterized through dark tints on eyes, nails and the lips. Goth fashion has the same style though Emo can play with various colors related to black. While Goth just sticks on the sole shade of black.

Emo makeup is comprised of pale looking skin taking necessary attention to the use of thick foundation in creating a paler look. This is how Emo got its trademark style and centering on exhibiting a hard edge look is far-reaching. Apart from the face, the next attention grabbing facet of the Emo fashion comes with the way the eyes are emphasized. With this, black eyeliners are mostly used with greater prominence on the path encircling the eyes. The color black eyeliner serves as the base in making the eyes more accentuated than the rest of the other parts of the face. You can also create a gloomy effect around the eyes by adding on colors associated with dark and shady hues of purple or violet and dark red. The lower eyelid is also considered one major part of the eyes where proper highlighting is necessary. Giving importance to the eyes can also be accentuated by means of using a dark red pencil liner. Dark red color also signifies gloomy and shadowy appearance thereby making you closer to what Emo icons are known for. You can also apply the use of mascara that should be more than 2 to 3 layers in creating a thick looking eye that will synchronized with the eyelids and eyebrows dark shade.

If you are still learning the Emo makeup and fashion then you have to consider acquiring kits like foundation, eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow of various shades of dark colors, a moisturizer since you are required to wear thicker foundation and lipstick of very light tint.

If this is the first time you will be engaging in a different look like the Emo style then you have to learn the basics of applying the Emo wear. First thing you need to do is to apply moisturizer evenly dabbed on the face and neck area leaving no portions untouched. Moisturizers are required as it act as the base of the foundation. The look of Emo is recognized through the pale color of the face. However, you have to choose a foundation that will also match with your skin color and skin type. What this means is the fact that you wouldn’t want to look inane with your foundation much lighter than your skin color.

Emo

I never thought I’d hear myself saying this, but music just isn’t the same as when I was young. Yes yes yes, I know I am still young at the tender age of 24, but I’m referring to the young when you’ve just got your first sprout of pubic hair, you can’t wait to start your periods and what music you listen to plays a big part in defining “who you really are”.

To go through my teenage years with the likes of Steps, Britney, Boyzone and Craig David topping the charts, I deliberately listened to music that proved I was “different” to everyone else, or really my group of friends was different to everyone else. Music for the white, middle classed and angry teenager who quite simply would not conform to the bomber jacket wearing, cigarette smoking, scraped back hairsprayed pony tailed way of life that made up the “kevs”, “chavs”, “townies” (or whatever you called them) majority of the school population. The people that scowled at you when you produced you homework diary which was covered in your poor attempts at drawing the Smashing Pumpkins logo, or the Nirvana smile or some depressing quote “I hate myself and I want to die” etc. They didn’t get it did they. They were quite content to get fingered in the cupboard at break or argue whether or not Jamie and Kim were “seeing each other” or fully blown “going out” when Kerry snogged him after 3 bottles of Hooch at Luke’s party over the weekend. (Because if they were only seeing each other it is ok for this to happen, in case you were wondering – if they were going out Kim has every right to have a bitch fight with Kerry who is now going out with Tom anyway so it doesn’t really matter anymore). I was classed as a “freak” and I loved it! I wasn’t a freak at all. I did enjoy the music, but put it this way, when Kurt Cobain topped himself I didn’t sit there and think “oh the tragic irony that everything he stood against, the mainstream, fame, the commercialisation of rock music was the very thing that lead him to his suicide” and consider taking my own life as statement of my loyalty to him and his message. Oh no, I had my 12 plus to sit that year and I had practise papers to do if I was going to get in to grammar school! I wore the t-shirts and tried to look scary with my dark makeup and headphones in nodding my head to the dulcet tones of “silverchair” or something equally as hilarious but deep down I was just another teenager, I just didn’t want to get fingered in the cupboard or scrape my hair back with hair spray and music seemed the best route to get out of this. Obviously there isn’t any reason why I shouldn’t listen to the bands I liked and still get on with these people, and I know that now, but it seemed to me a good reason to divide myself from them – much in the same way you see in American movies that the sporty “jocks” or “cheerleaders” are divided you from the skaters etc, just listen to the gospel of Avril Lavigne!

And you know what, every school year needs me and my group of friends, much as you need the geeks, the rude boys, the fit (easy) girls etc. But recently there has been a massive change in the direction of music and it has thrown everything completely in to disarray.

Since the dawn of time the charts have been dominated by mainstream music created to please a population of idiots. Idiots who want to dance the locomotion and macarena. Idiots who get Robson and Jerome to number one, who love the cheeky girls and embraced Aqua and “barbie girl” as if they were revolutionists. The moments when these songs topped the charts gave my friends and me exactly what we wanted, something to moan about. I couldn’t count the amount of conversations I have had which went along the lines of “How the fuck can anybody actually go to the shop and buy these records, who ARE these people”. Or the amount of exchanged smug “we are so superior to them” looks to each other as Kim and Kerry (who now are best buddies again after Jamie dumped Kim and went round telling everyone that Kerry is “tight”) swap spice girls CDs.

Electric guitars did not make it in to the charts, and on the rare occasion they did the band were immediately dismissed from the “underground” world as we liked to call it. I’ll never forget the anguish when Bush appeared on top of the pops. What were they thinking?! They will last for one song in the ‘mainstream’ world, one song, while their true fans sit betrayed, hurt, cheated, never to buy their records again. How could they?! The fucking sell outs!

We (the underground) relied on the Great British public to buy crap so we could continue being angry and sulky about it, this gave us purpose! Recently though this turned upside down. We now live in a world where a nu-metal group can win Eurovision, “My Chemical Romance” get to number one and the charts are dominated by indie and emo groups. The worst thing about it is that very few of them are very good! In all honesty I would rather some shitty boy bands attempts to sing and perform some overly rehearsed dance routine than “just another fucking indie band” with some overly arrogant singer whose longish hair is perfectly straightened and gelled to look like he has just got out of bed. I just can’t find anything special with their music. At least the boy band was laughable and entertaining! It seems that all these bands have one catchy hit per album which inspires a whole festival crowd to whip out their lighters and inflate the lead singers ego further by doing his job for him and singing the whole song for him while he practises his sulky pout behind the messy hair. The fact that all the other songs they have written are crap and all sound the same doesn’t seem to matter. They should really save us all the grief of buying these shit albums to listen to one song and join forces to make an album of these classics. I can see it in the shops now – “Songs to get your lighters out to” by “Snow light razor party bloc fire arcade knives young play cold patrol” as forced on you by Jo Wiley. Of course there are a few that do have an edge, something a bit different and special. and The Arctic Monkeys are about the only thing Zane Lowe has got right this millennium and they are good. Also the Fratellis are great – chuck in a few trumpets and trombones and Robert’s your fathers brother! But the majority is 4 messy boys 2 guitars, a bass, drums and a droning “almost” singer singing songs they think are actually going to change the world – don’t even start me on the Killers, I’ll explode.

The other side of the charts gives us the latest sensation that is ‘emo’. I recently found out this stands for “emotional rock” which is fairly self explanatory however the term ‘emo’ does not only give you a music genre but is actually a way of life. There is a new breed of people out there everyone, make way for the emo generation.

These ants are taking over the earth’s surface with there blacked out eyes and ridiculous messy black/purple hair blocking out most of there face! Somebody should tell them I did this image ten years ago – and I did it better!

Only, there is a massive massive flaw in the Emo mentality/philosophy. Emos are angry, uber angry. The anger supposedly stems from the fact the way they are is not accepted in to society. People don’t get them and life is just unfair on these misunderstood souls. Kids are trying to be “different” but the irony is that they are all “different” hence, all the same, well, different in the same way! Does that make sense?!? The emo bands all sing about being unaccepted in the mainstream world. But they ARE the mainstream world. Bands like “My Chemical Romance”, “Fall Out Boy” and whoever else are just as commercial and manufactured as Steps were but at least those cheeky lot in Steps admitted this and took what they could from it!

This is terrible! Children have vulnerable, easily influenced personalities. Before you were safe in the knowledge that the majority of children were tuning in to Kylie Minogue, the Backstreet Boys and B*witched (what are you like) singing about all things pink and fluffy. Now the majority are listening to, for example the following lyrics by Papa Roach:

“Cut my life into pieces

I’ve reached my last resort

Suffocation

No breathing

Don’t give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding

Do you even care if I die bleeding

Would it be wrong

Would it be right

If I took my life tonight

Chances are that I might

Mutilation outta sight

And I’m contemplating suicide”

Slightly different message than Gina G was trying to get across!

I listened to depressing music and may have pretended to be angry at the world, but I was clever enough to realise it was just music and not take it too seriously!! Most children are stupid and now this depressing, angry music is mainstream god knows the consequences! I also find it very sad they are being completely conned. These bands are all actually little rich kids whose Daddys have paid to get them recording contracts. They don’t know the first thing about struggling through life, they just cash in by singing about it! The lead singer of My Chemical Romance is called Gerrard for fucks sake!

One thing that has upset me, and I feel really embarrassed about this because it makes me sound so arrogant but a select few of MY bands, yes MY bands from when I was growing up have completely sold out on me. I was there when Green Day released Basket Case, when the Red Hot Chili Peppers release Under the Bridge. I saved my pocket money and bought the tapes – yes tapes, and I’ve been there since. Through the fuck up albums, the heroine addictions, the endless touring, interviews and scandals. I WAS THERE. I went to see Green Day with my lovely friend who was also THERE, 3 years ago at Milton Keynes bowl and I wish I hadn’t. I so wish I hadn’t. These boys I had grown up beside are now fat old men with huge egos too good to play personal venues for their proper fans. I had seen them play at V98 and they were the highlight of my day. Energetic, cheeky, naughty, fun etc. Now its just boring, rehearsed crap. And the crowd, oh woe on me. I looked around and aside from the 13 year old emo ants crawling around the field I saw hundreds of lagered up, skin head, tattoed, England shirt wearing wankers passing out from binge drinking/sunstroke or swaying with their arms around each other bellowing “Wake me up when September ends” (that song should be destroyed, every copy of it). How did this happen? I just don’t know, what makes these people think they have the right to sing along to basketcase – I bet they don’t know a single other fucking song pre 2004! The cunts. I hate it. Well being rock and roll as I am, in protest I left during that god forsaken song – mainly to miss the traffic out of Milton Keynes. I’d like to believe, however, that some how Billy Joe looked up across the cunts that now makes up their fan base and caught the disappointed look in my eye as I turned my back on them vowing to NEVER EVER go to a ego inflating gig like that again.

I’m on a mission to bring back pop. We need the great British public to revolt. Get Louis Walsh and Pete Waterman on the case to manufacture some more truly shit bands with catchy songs which in 20 years time will still be played on student nights – and I don’t mean one hit x-factor winners – I mean proper bands like east 17 and westlife, for fucks sake even they are aiming themselves at middle aged housewives now! Bring back the music the average Joes love and the non average Joes love to hate and take underground back underground where it should be. Where its makes no money, and the people that make it are full of talent, inspiration and doing it for the love and not the money.

So as not to break tradition I’ll leave you with the lyrics from a song aptly named “Underground” by the late Ben Folds Five. A bit of an anthem for me when I was growing up as a PROPER alternative!! Hope you enjoyed lovelies.

I was never cool in school

I’m sure you don’t remember me

And now it’s been 10 years

I’m still wondering who to be

But I’d love to mix in circles, cliques, and social coteries – that’s me

Hand me my nose ring

Show me the mosh pit

We can be happy underground

Who’s got the looks

Who’s got the brains

Who’s got everything

I got this pain in my heart, that’s all

Hey you with the long and lonely face

There’s got to be something else

Let me tell ya something else

There was a girl who passed me by

She gave a smile but I was shy

I looked down, so down

Don’t look there no no, go go underground

But now there’s a place to go

It’s the morning now, it’s the evening

It’s everything

I click my heels and I’m there

We’ll be decked in all black

Slamming the pit fantastic

Officer Friendly’s little boy’s got a mohawk

And he knows just where we’re coming from

It’s industrial, work it underground

Get down, get down, get down

Underground, underground

Everything’s happy underground

You been kicked around

Did life bring you down here

Everything’s heavy underground

Emo is nowadays a completely new fashion! Newly developed, recently popular but totally inspired from the 80s. If you really want a unique hair cut, then it is a good idea to consider an emo hair cut. Emo haircuts are very common, particularly among the younger crowd and are considered to be one of the hottest teen hair cuts today. Emo is the newly developed fashion with its own attitude. Not willing to follow the “dress code” of others, emo genre has developed its own way of fashion, but if you were to ask, what an emo hair cut is, what exactly does it entail, well – the jury is still out on that one.  If you already know, you could be looking for the right emo hair cut for you. What does Emo refer to? The term “emo” is short for “emotional,” which is the underlying theme for these unique hair cuts. For beginners, it is important to know that any cut that reflects the deeply personal, artistic, individual style of the wearer could be categorized and branded as an emo look. Emo haircuts usually make a statement and are completely originated from one person’s personal style, for both men and women. What an emo cut is, varies for each person wearing it, and the exact same cut worn by one individual may make for an emo look, but if worn by someone else may not classify emo at all. So, there is no need for concern when making your emo hairstyle, what you feel like doing goes! It’s not a normal look so therefore people expect it to be all over the place and to be and over all crazy hair cut. Most emo girls and men guys to the jet black hair for their hair cut and they like the unnatural, uneven look it gives it more spunk. Even though the emo look is becoming more common, it is still an uncommon way for a hair cut.

Have fun with it – dye it black, chop it up and add some crazy highlights. Emo haircuts are characterized by often black hair with random splurges of bright colored highlights. The emo haircuts may also have asymmetrical lines and different color background hair but the large majority of people with emo hairstyles prefer to dye it black.

Emo haircuts can be done by anyone; it does not require a professional stylist or beautician as a prerequisite. You can just cut the dyed hair all over in different shapes but the hair usually is always longer in the front hiding the face. You can also razor it in the back to have it spiky with the longer bangs for a weird looking hair cut. Both of these are considered an emo hairstyle. Emo haircuts are usually spiky and shaggy a definition of how you felt at that time. It’s an all over the place crazy style so use gel and hair glue to your advantage. Adding hair glue to the bangs in the front to make them straight and stiff is a must when trying to create the emo hairstyle. You can add gel to the back of your hair as well to make it stand straight out if you have the back shorter. If the back is long and shaggy just mix and match gel and hair glue to make it a crazy bold effect. Remember the more unusual and different your hair looks the better off you are.

Don’t forget that the type of emo haircut you want is completely up to you! If you think you want emo but don’t feel comfortable with the looks and showing up in public, as some sensitive guys may, then change it! No one can tell you what looks good or bad on you than yourself. This style is all about feeling comfortable with yourself; that is one of the reasons, why it allows so many modifications from the norm!

The good part is, that having a classic haircut, you can make your hairstyle appropriate for any event, while spicing it up with some styling products, you can make the most edgy looks ever. If you opt for the shorter ones, or the longer ones, you can both ways style your hair straight, or make a stranger definition. Make your haircut extra straight, or leave its natural curl to emphasize it and make it layered. The single must haves for the retro hairstyle are the bangs.

 Another hot retro hairstyle for men would be the greaser hairstyles, which were very in style in the 50’s. Remember that these hairstyles need high maintenance, and lots of hair styling products for the perfect fixing. Make it school boy styled slicking it back, or pump it up in a rockabilly quiff in the front.

   

Mid Length Hairstyles for Men

 The mid length hairstyles are the most versatile ones. You can get punk haircuts with long bangs and short hair on the sides, surfer boy haircut with loose curls or waves, emo or scene haircuts for the wilder looks, mohawks or even a messy one with a shaggy style. Either way, it is an easy maintenance hairstyle that matches any personality and any style. Try different parting: side parts, long parts or make the no parting look. You might need a couple of strong holding hair styling products, but you might as well just leave it loose for a natural look. 

Long Hairstyles for Men

 The long hairstyles for men are usually associated with rocker hairstyles. The long hairstyles need a proper hair care routine to keep it healthy, so consider that before letting your hair grown out. You can get easily inspired from the celebrities: Nikki Sixx, Russel Brand, Dave Navarro, Jack White, even David Backham. Find the one that matches your style and go get your new haircut.

The Buzz Cut Hairstyles for Men

Emo Girl

Born out from Washington, D.C. music scene in the mid-1980s, Emo style is trendy and popular among young people today. The word ‘Emo’ actually been created to describe the bands’ emotional performances, their choice, sensitive, or even their followers. With time they grew popular and the circle of Emo grew large that consist of mainly teens and young twenty. Emo community persuade their own thinking and rules and rejects the trends of the mainstream and gradually they started to produce new looks and hairstyles by experimenting on themselves and brought a new revolution in the world of fashion and makeup. Though you need to be daring to follow the Emo style and control on your temperament to hear the criticism and the way people throw their glance at you as they are not Emo and they don’t want to accept anything that is not in the mainstream.

Despite of several criticisms Emo was indeed successful to conquer the hearts of a lot of devoted fans as admirers of this music genre pose in the likeness of their icons. To manifest the Emo look you need to know the right Emo fashion and hairstyle. Often it has been found that Emo fashion is associated with the Gothic fashion but the fact is that although these two has some basic resemblance still, the Emo fashion’s major distinction is typified through dark color on eyes, nails and the lips while Gothic fashion has the same style just sticks on the sole shade of black.

Emo makeup embrace pale looking skin and emphasizing to use of thick foundation in creating a paler look after applying moisturizer. The shade of the foundation should match your skin color. Next attention is paid to your eye makeup in Emo fashion that is done mostly with black eyeliners with greater prominence on the path encircling the eyes and is followed so in making the eyes more accentuated than the rest of the other parts of the face. To give a gloomy effect around the eyes you can add on colors associated with dark and shady hues of purple or violet and dark red properly highlighting the lower eyelid. Also the same effect can be given using dark red color. Applying of 2 to 3 layers of mascara create thickness that will harmonized with the eyelids and eyebrows dark shade. Hairstyle also is an important part for the Emo guys. Usually black hair, with a more two-toned look, with one color on the top and another color on the bottom especially by the Emo girls is preferred.

Finally the whole Emo look is completed with the styles of dressing. Usually “Emo kids” prefers black outfits with very tight jeans, tees adorned with the name of a rock band, studded belts, canvas sneakers or other black shoes, and black horn-rimmed glasses. Following all these steps makeup you are a complete Emo.
