The LOOK

The scene look focuses heavily on the eyes, so the rest of the face is kept fresh and clear so as not to take the attention away from the eyes. Lips are kept nude with a lick of gloss or a light, neutral shade of lipstick. Foundation is typically kept light for that all important pale and interesting appeal!

Scene style eyeliner

You know the look: heavy black kohl eye liner, drastic shades of sweeping eye shadow, and lashings upon lashings of mascara. Exactly how you choose to exact the look is down to your own unique taste – scene make-up is your opportunity to express who you really are and how you’re feeling. You may feel like a sparkly diva one day and a sultry scenestress the next, so let your eyes do the telling!

Whichever look you choose, eyeliner is key to the scene makeup look. Both scene boys and scene girls adopt the use of eyeliner, either a soft, smudgeable kohl pencil or a more precise eyeliner pencil. It takes a bit of practice, but once you know how to apply scene eyeliner you’ll be free to create all the more elaborate looks. So have fun practicing until you get a feel for what looks best on you. You may want to emulate the style of one of your scene queen idols or you may choose to experiment until you find a make-up style that defines you and only you!

Your scene eyeliner options are endless! Try applying it all around your eyes, and build up in certain areas to create a particular look – a popular choice is to wing it out on the sides for a cute cats eyes look!

Scene style eye shadow

The scene girl makeup look is typified by bright, vibrant eye shadow colours. Popular choices include hot pink and aqua blue. Yellow shades looks really striking as do orange and green. Blending brush at the ready, you could create a rainbow of colours on your lids for a real high impact look! Your choice of eye shadow can be applied to both upper and lower lids, usually with just a thin sweep across the lower lid, just below the lashes. To create a more interesting look you could use contrasting shades on upper and lower lids. Don't forget to blend if you want a smooth look, or keep lines harp for a more dramatic finish.

Scene style eye lashes

Scene eyes are topped with thick, sultry lashes. You can get the basic look with lashings of mascara. Use several coats for maximum volume – apply a layer of loose power to your lashes before you coat them with mascara to build even more volume. If mascara alone isn’t enough then grab your false lashes! These really are unbeatable for creating that killer scene queen look! There are loads of different styles available, you simply cut them to length and use a false eyelash adhesive to tack them temporarily to your upper lash line. Worn with loads of kohl and a healthy helping of eye shadow you’ll look like a ravishing scene queen, effortlessly! With your sexy skinny jeans and totally scene tshirt top, or when you step out for the night in your totally scene mini dress, wear your scene make-up with pride, knowing that you every bit a scene queen!
