Staple or timeless clothing will give you more wiggle room to mix and match outfits. It will also allow you grow and evolve your style over time without having to continuously purge your wardrobe.  It is good to have a mix of solid-colored dress shirts, sweaters, and T-shirts. Simply styled tops can be easily paired with bold skirts or leggings year-round. Additionally, a neutrally-colored cardigan can tone down printed blouses, or dress up simple T-shirts. Have a variety of dark and light-washed jeans, and neutral-colored leggings, skirts, and dresses. Black leggings or dark jeans can be paired with just about any color or printed top, and are versatile enough to be worn during the day at school, or at night when you hang out with your friends. Contrasting your staple pieces with bold clothing items is what will turn your everyday outfit into a personal style. Think about colors, patterns, or fabrics that you really like, and incorporate those preferences.  If you are really into music, you can pair those plain black leggings with a graphic T-shirt of your favorite band, or an oversized sweater that is embroidered with music notes.  If you are an aspiring actor with a bold personality, layer a long, multi-colored cardigan or a checkered blazer over a plain T-shirt and dark-wash jeans. The unconventional patterns will complement your fun and spirited personality. You want at least two jacket or coat options of varying thickness and materials in your wardrobe. Pick one coat that is of a thick material and lined for the winter months, and one that is lightweight for the chilly fall and early spring months.  For your winter coat, gravitate towards neutral colors or shades like a navy blue or a solid black that will be easily paired with any outfit you wear. For the lightweight jacket, branch out and pick a color that is missing from your overall wardrobe, and use it as a pop of color for your outfits. For example, throw on a deep purple jacket or a patterned jacket. Pair the jacket with black leggings and a sweater dress. Any shoes you buy need to be comfortable, and practical for your everyday routine. Try and stay away from purchasing heels or platforms as your everyday shoe, and opt for unique sandals, sneakers, and flats that embody your new style.  Pair your beaded sandals or colored flats with a solid-colored dress to make the shoes the focal point of the outfit.  Lace up your embroidered sneakers, and pair them with dark wash jeans and a T-shirt for a quick outfit that has a pop of color. Accessories are not just simple jewelry pieces or hats. Accessories can be different colors, textures, and statements that bring your outfit and personal style to life. If you find that you weren’t all that daring when you went shopping for clothes, use simple accessories to showcase your personality instead.  Think about getting different scarves or hats to dress up your outfits in the fall and winter. Look for jewelry that goes beyond the standard silver and gold aesthetic. Find woven or beaded necklaces, rings carved from wood that are hand painted, or even a simple pendant or brooch that incorporates your hobbies or inspiring quotes. At the end of the day, you will be wearing the clothes, not the girl that sits next to you in class. Make sure that you are comfortable and confident when wearing your new style. Even if your style greatly differs from what others wear at school, the confidence you show will instead make you a trendsetter. As time passes and you grow older, continue to play with your style and alter it to fit whatever point you are at in life. The clothing you wear today should represent who you are now, and not who you were 5 years ago.  As you get older, you might want to gravitate away from graphic T-shirts with whimsical prints, and wear blouses with fun patterns of music notes or giraffes instead. When you transition into the workplace, instead of grabbing your black leggings and pairing it with a colored button-up shirt, tuck your shirt into a sleek pair of black dress pants.

summary: Build each outfit around a single, staple garment. Add a statement piece to make your outfit more interesting. Invest in a neutral-colored coat and brightly-colored jacket. Wear shoes that are sensible, but full of personality. Add accessories to put a personal stamp on any outfit. Have confidence in the style you created. Continue experimenting with your style.

Apply this with a foundation brush.  It should be no lighter than one to two shades the your natural skin tone. Foundation that is too light can make your skin look ashy or overly made up. Foundation that is too dark can give your skin a yellow or orangish hue. This should be avoided when trying for an Emo style. Waterproof is recommended.  First use a black or brown eyeliner pencil and blend it to create a smoky effect. Use liquid liner to define the look of the eyeliner, sweeping the line up towards the temples at the corner of the eye to create a cat eye look. Thicken and darken eyeliner to your preference. Smokey eye effects are key to the Emo style.  Spread a lighter matte shade to the eyelid. Apply black eyeliner on the outer 1/3 of the eye and a little bit into your crease. Remember you want this to look soft. Apply the shadow on the lower lash line as well. Some people like to curl the eyelashes first for a feminine look and to emphasize the eyes.  Put the mascara on thicker on the upper lashes and go lighter on the lower lashes. Some people prefer to use false eyelashes for an even more extreme look. Choose a natural shade that won't distract from the eyes.  Avoid black lipstick, dark red, or bright colors. Keep the lips extremely subtle. Don't use a lip liner as this will attract attention away from your carefully done eye makeup.

summary: Use a light liquid foundation. Use a black or brown eyeliner on your lashline. Use a black, navy blue, or red colored eye shadow. Apply black mascara. Use lip gloss or light lipstick.
