Villains and evil characters tend to wear excessive, dark colored makeup on and around their eyes. The key word here is ''"excessive"'', as in "singlehandedly keeps a cosmetics company in the black" (no pun intended). There's a few ways for the character to apply the Evil Eyeshadow: there's always some on the eyelid accompanied with mascara to darken and lengthen the eye lashes, and the "excessive" extra can be applied as upper or lower eyeshadow... or ''both'' to go the extra villainous mile. The color isn't restricted to just black, but just about any color as long as it's sufficiently dark.
Line 10:
This is a favored feature of makeup in [[Daddy's Little Villain]]. Usually accessorized with [[Femme Fatalons]]. Compare [[Black Eyes of Evil]]. See also [[Paint It Black]] and [[Evil Costume Switch]].
 
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]].
