Makeup Base

Maintain a healthy skin in order to provide a perfect look. It is essential to keep a clear complexion, that doesn't need to much covering. Simply go for a tinted moisturizer and finish with a translucent powder to get a matte finish.

In case you have skin problems, use a concealer to hide dark circles, cover and even out skin tone with a foundation and finish with a translucent powder that will add the matte finish.

Punk Makeup

Punk makeup means strong looks. So don't be afraid of applying plenty of color on your lids and plenty of dark hues. Start by marking your eyes with an eyeliner, on the upper and lower eyelids to. Than apply black eyeshadow on the entire eye lid, going lighter on the outer corners. You can create cat-eye shapes at the corners, with the most extreme lines ever. Fade the eyeshadow away just as for a smoky eye makeup, or on the opposite, make it extra edgy. Finish with plenty of mascara.

You can also use other colors, like plum, blood red, wine, or any other color, but stay on the dark side of each of them.

Your lips can stay natural, or go till the darkest hot red possible. Just keep in mind that using a bold color on your lips is harder than it might seem, so maintain soft and healthy lips. Also, use the lip pencil to contour your lips and avoid smudging, just as for your entire lips to use it as a base. This will make the look be long lasting and perfectly polished.

For the absolute punk makeup, you can also add some fake lashes, temporary rhinestone appliqués to spice up your look into an eccentric appearance, or simple glitter to add some light into your look.

Create the most futuristic looks and use the makeup as a basic element in completing an extreme appearance. Use dark eyeshadow, strong hues and edgy shapes. Amplify the strong punk look with a makeup and your presence will surely make a statement.
