Rock makeup
Clearly drawn lines, rich contrast transitions, deliberate negligence in the image - all this is typical of rocker makeup. Girls literally copy the style of idols, trying on grunge, glam rock, punk images. Such a make up has long gone beyond parties, concerts and began to complement everyday and elegant clothing styles. It's time to become bold, bright, spectacular, the center of attention of others!
When is it appropriate?
You can make up bold arrows, line your eyes, apply pale (or bright, dark) lipstick not only for going to a concert of your favorite band. Rocker make up will complement your image if you are going to a nightclub, an exhibition, a party, a themed bachelorette party.
You should “arm yourself” with light shades of foundation, concealer, matte lipsticks, eyeliner, eyebrows and lips. You can also prepare a beige corrector, powder, liquid foundation for shadows.
Varieties
With such an arsenal, you can look like your favorite celebrity, express your individuality, freedom. There are several types of brutal make up:
- Pop rock or copying the style of Avril Lavigne. The make-up maintains a contrasting tone (pale lips, bright eyes with oily black eyeliner, a careless hairstyle with multi-colored strands).
- Glam rock with vanilla elements. This makeup is suitable for those who do not want to lose femininity, coquetry and touching in the image. Under puffy skirts, tight corsets, fishnet tights, creepers or sneakers, bright makeup is suitable. "Sweet" touches - an abundance of sparkles, glitter shadows, juicy shades of lipsticks (this applies only to this particular style). Here you can focus on both the eyes and lips.
- Punk rock with its pompous, brutal audacity. This type of makeup involves the use of shadows of dark shades (burgundy, brown, gray). It would be appropriate to create the effect of "vague haze", "smokey eyes", carefully draw lips, arrows on the eyelids. You can borrow an example of a daring make up from Rihanna, when in 2009 she devoted an entire album to R'n'B and punk rock.
You just have to take the best of the image of Elvis, put on a T-shirt with the image of The Rolling Stones, the inscription "Rock and Roll", ripped denim shorts or leggings, over the knee boots or other shoes on a rough platform.
Basic Rules
In the rock style, there are special rules for applying such makeup (despite independence, love of freedom and original elements). In stages, it begins with clean and moisturized facial skin. All its irregularities are corrected by the tonal basis. With its help, you can also achieve the effect of thinness of the face, which will be most welcome.
Perfect rock star skin
Not everyone can boast of healthy and even skin. Since your future makeup is somewhat outrageous, as well as theatrical, it is worth evening out the tone of the face to perfection. Use natural shades of foundation. To hide the shine, use loose powder. This will be a great start to creating a fantastic look in the style of glam rock, rockabilly.
Eyes
Make the main focus on the eyes - with the help of simple tricks (like "smoky eyes", "cat's look"). Pay attention to the eyes: the look should be somewhat hazy, as if surrounded by haze. The best solution would be shades with brown, gray, graphite, greenish or burgundy shades. Be sure to “arm yourself” with black liquid eyeliner for drawing stylish arrows (both on the mobile and on the lower eyelid). This will create a memorable, very effective image.
Blush
This is the only cosmetic product that you should refuse. However, for glam rock style, for girls with a plump face shape, it is better to use such cosmetics. In a small amount, bronze blush can perfectly highlight the cheekbones.
Pomade
The palette of colors for a rocker make up seems to be limitless. You can use both calm shades and brutal, bright colors. To preserve femininity and coquetry, make your lips pale. Use matte peach, beige, pale pink lipstick. For a frank fatal look, scarlet lipstick, plum, cherry shades, burgundy, burgundy, marsala colors are suitable.
Eyelashes
Experts suggest creating rock makeup with thick black lashes. You can also add several overhead beams. Avoid shiny textures, use them only for glam rock style. This makeup allows shades of golden, metallic shades.
Expressive facial features will make not only cosmetics. Pay attention to the hairstyle: a sleek ponytail at the back of the head, a stylish bouffant, oblique long bangs, dreadlocks, multi-colored strands, kanekalon for rock elements.
secrets
When going to a concert or a party, take care of the durability of the entire make-up.If you are going to paint your eyes, be sure to apply a special base under the shadows so that they do not turn into lumps. Makeup artists are advised to look for shades that contrast as much as possible with eye color. Blending them is very easy (this can be done with a brush).
The base of the lower eyelid can be painted with the same color (for expressiveness and greater mystery).
If you're looking for an emotional look, try using a soft black pencil to outline the eye contour. The line should be drawn along the base of the upper and lower eyelashes, with an extension to the outer corners of the eyes. Shading occurs with the help of an applicator.
Light shadows, neatly superimposed on the border of dark ones, will help to “open up” the look. Eyebrows deserve no less attention. It is best to make them medium width.

For a photo shoot
Rocker girls will be delighted with stylish makeup. Focus on the eyes if you prefer punk rock style with emo, gothic elements. The brighter the facial features, the more effective the photo shoot will turn out. Use pencils and eye shadow - both black and red, black and emerald, dark gray and pink. Suitable for both solid and loose products.
Under such a make up, look at the appropriate wardrobe. It can be perforated jeans, fluffy A-shaped skirts, leather vests, leather jackets with metal fittings. Clothing materials should overlap: it is better to combine the dense texture of fabrics with mesh, lace, guipure. Brutal, contrasting colors should prevail.
Beautiful photos and the image as a whole will not leave anyone indifferent.The new unusual appearance will be an excellent "testing ground" for self-expression. Draw attention to yourself with just a single glance.
