About Scene Makeup and how to get it

When it comes to scene makeup there is no pattern. Still, many scene girls keep eyes as the main focus, so never let the rest of your makeup overpower the eyes.
Stick to sheer lipgloss, if any, the best and that’s enough. The pale look for canvas is always welcome.

You got to know first what type of makeup do you want: smoky eyes, sparkling diva look, goddess look, punky shades or anything you saw on other girls.
After you decide the look you want, choose your makeup pallette. However, you’re not limited to eye shadow or eyeliner color choices, you can also use less intense eye shadow colours.

The most popular is the heavy smokey eye look.

The traditional smokey eye makeup shadows are, of course black or grey, but for a more “sceny” look, you can use: violet, chocolate, dark pink, copper, dark green, dark blue or purple.

Wearing eyeliner is a must, (whether you’re male or female). If you have the “skills” to apply it, do it yourself, but if you’re a novice gal or guy, let someone that knows how to apply eyeliner do it for you and teach you how to do it well.
Guys have the tendency to put a little too much makeup on their faces, while girls can wear as much or as little as they please. Applying eyeliner all the way around the eye is optional, and winging it out on the sides for a cat eye effect is a common practice. Find what eyeliner look you look good in, and stick with it.
Lines can be thin, or thick, depending on what you like best.
Add bright bold neon eye shadow. Hot pink is most popular, but you could go for a yellow, purple, or even rainbow. Pigments are best, but they can be quite expensive. You could get a normal eyeshadow that’s not sheer, and wet your applicator, then apply.

Depending on how scene you would like it to be, use faux lashes.
False lashes were brought back by the “Scene Queen” Jeffree Star.

If it doesnt come out exactly right, or how you want it to be, keep in mind that you need only some exercise to get a flawless scene makeup!

This is a biggie for girls with thin lips, but you can still get a plumper pair of kissies with some simple steps!

You will need:
lip balm, lipliner, lipstick and lipgloss

1. Start out by applying a lip balm.

2.Then, if you want your lips to appear more pouty, use a lipliner the same color as your lips to accentuate your “cupid’s bow.”

3.Avoid taking the lipliner way into the corners or making a definite line.
Smudge out the line afterwards for a more natural effect.

4.Blot on your lipstick with your finger, starting at the center and pushing outwards.

5.Avoid making definite lines. this helps to make the lips look fuller and not drawn on.

6.Using a shade that has a slight iridescence and letting it creep up to the crest of the lip can give the illusion of a fuller mouth. But this requires a very light touch.

7.Another nice trick is to use a tinted lip balm or light gloss, just in the center of your lips.
