Give E-Girl Makeup a Go With These Jaw-Dropping Looks From Instagram
May 31, 2022
The E-girl look, a term popularized on TikTok, combines emo and punk rocker vibes with a playful twist. The style typically involves a statement makeup look consisting of heavy blush, big doe eyes and fun touches like hearts painted beneath the eyes. Whether it’s on TikTok or IRL, the rise of E-girls (and boys) is undeniable, so if you want to get in on the trend, find out how to recreate the signature makeup look, ahead.
Punk Rock Vibes
E-girl makeup can differ depending on your own personal aesthetic, but the most common staple is dramatic winged eyeliner. In this look, @rei.lilith created intricate, geometric eyeliner designs both above and below her eyes complete with gemstone accents. Give graphic liner a go with the L’Oréal Paris Matte Signature Liquid Dip Eyeliner.
Rosy and Flushed
Instead of focusing blush on the apples of their cheeks, E-girls typically bring it all the way across their cheekbones and apply it on the bridge of the nose to create a super flushed look, as seen here on @aphitenza. She tops off her rosy cheeks with faux freckles, which can be drawn on with an eyeliner pen like the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Super Slim Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeliner in Brown. And if you want to copy the graphic green eyeshadow, reach for the Urban Decay Wild Greens Eyeshadow Palette.
Sweet & Sour
E-girl makeup doesn’t always have to be dark and sultry. This makeup look by @moonlightbabsch combines fun pops of color and adorable faux freckles paired with a black lip and bold brows to bring the grunge vibes. Try out a bold black lip with the NYX Professional Makeup Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Alien.
Pretty in Pink
