Excessive Evil Eyeshadow: Difference between revisions

 

Despite [[Winx Club|the Trix girls]] being the page pic, guys can wear Excessive Evil Eyeshadow, usually in the form of [[Guyliner]]. They also tend to be a lot... ''quirkier''... than other guy villains. It's also worth noting that this [[Sub-Trope|Sub-tope]] of [[Obviously Evil]] is so exclusively villainous it's rare to see even [[Anti-Hero|Anti Heroes]] use Excessive Evil Eyeshadow. If the character also wears a lot of makeup in addition to the excessive evil eyeshadow, expect him/her to be a [[Monster Clown]]. When the darkness is natural, rather than from cosmetics, it's [[Creepy Shadowed Undereyes]].

{{examples}}

== Anime and Manga ==

* Yuda from ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''.

* Drocell Caines from ''[[Black Butler]]'' (anime only).

* In ''[[Bleach]]'', [[Filler Villain]] Muramasa has large fields of purple eyeshadow in a fancy shape. He is fairly reserved, but definitely bold, mysterious, and unsettling. Although being the spirit of a zanpakuto weapon, it could just be part of his anatomy.

 

== Comic Books ==

** Emma Frost is a dual example. She's the trope played straight during her White Queen of the Hellfire Club days, but she subverts it now that she's one of the ''[[X-Men]]'', but [[Costume Inertia|still wears]] the silver-white eyeshadow and lipstick.

* [http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnq13u1U1I1qkycczo1_500.jpg Queen Zsu Zsa's consort] from ''[[Baritarian Boy]]'', that 'verse's equivalent of Vlad the Impaler. [[Pimped-Out Dress|Pimped Out Doublet]] and decidedly [[Villainous Fashion Sense]] aside, some would kill to make their own eye makeup look that good.

{{quote|You're not a witch, are you? He said, fumbling awkwardly with his pike.

Of course not. Do I look like one?

The guard looked at her occult bangles, her lined cloak, her trembling hands and her face. The face was particularly worrying. Magrat had used a lot of powder to make her face pale and interesting. It combined with the lavishly applied mascara to give the guard the impression that he was looking at two flies that had crashed into a sugar bowl. He found his fingers wanted to make a sign to ward off '''the evil eyeshadow.''' }}
