Hey....go to Hot Topic and look for a little round, black container with black eye shadow in it. It is the best-working stuff I've been able to find! then go to MAC and find a really bright purple or teal or green (the HIP brand from Walmart also works really well!)....anything bold. Black eye liner and mascara. Apply the color shadow from the very inside corner of your eye all the way to the outside corner below the crease. Then apply your eye liner....pull the outside corner of your eye out and up as you do it...it will make it a LOT easier. Dont start at the very inside corner when putting on eye liner, it has a tendency to make the eye look smaller. Instead, start at the inside edge of the colored part of your eye. Dont follow the curve of your eye....but make a straight line all the way across that extends out at the outside corner about the width of your eyeliner pencil. Then where that line stops....make another line connecting it to the outside corner. I know that sounds confusing...but think of it as a a triangle...and the "connecting" line is the longest side. then fill in the "triangle space" with eye liner. Then you take the black eye shadow and at the crease on the outside half of your eye...make a arch going from the middle of the crease to the "triangle" you just made with your eyeliner. This will make the eyes very dramatic and POP!! then on the bottom...go from the outside corner to just about the middle of the eye w/ eye liner! you dont want to go all the way to the inside corner!...it'll make your eyes look small! then curl your lashes and apply a sinful amount of mascara! If you will turn the blow dryer on your eyelash curler for just about 10 seconds, it will make the curl last a lot longer and be more dramatic! start at the outter lashes and put the wand at the base (where the lashes meet the eye) and wiggle your brush back and forth and then stop and run it up to the end of your lashes! Try to do it all in one coat....if you stick your wand back in the mascara and try to go over it again, that's when you get clumps!! Dont put any mascara on your lower lashes (unless just on the outter ones)...again makes the eyes look small! Then if you have any shimmery translucent powder ( I like Loreal Translucide illuminating powder in Angelic) dab it on the bottom half of the inside corner of your eye to finish! Phew! :) Here's a link to my picture...mine isn't very dramatic...but you can kind of see the 'triangle' on the outside corner with the eyeliner and arch with the black eye shadow. All you have to do to make it more dramatic is extend the triangle out further...make the black shadow a bit darker and use a bright bold color on the lid below the crease!!

Answer 2

Try a Liquid eyeliner any brand will do, and paint on a line on the upper lid not too thick but thick enough to make a statement. I wouldn't go with fake eyelashes they are a pain. Try Mabelline's black lengthening mascara.

As for the eye shadow deep blues, blacks, sable browns, completmented by a frosted highlight just below the eyebrow.

Answer 3

Just go to the closest mall with a MAC counter and ask them. They're not afraid to use colors.

Don't use fake lashes, they're a total pain, with the glue and falling off when it's too warm and so on.

Answer 4

rocker isn't a style. a true rock band hasn't been made in a long time. rock died in the 80s. now it's all subgenres like punk, goth, "emo", etc.

i have a theory that people who call themselves "rockers" are trying so hard to fit into a group of people, yet they want to seem like they're individuals, so they call themselves "rockers" and start dressing like an advertisement for hot topic. they really make me sick.

and now, to help you with your question. just go to a mac counter/store or mac.com and pick out colors that you think will look good on you and that you like. for lashes, put them on after the makeup, and always put on a thin line of eyeliner so that when you put them on crooked or not propperly lined up to your lashline, it won't look too bad because it will blend in.also curl your lashes into the fake lashes.
