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.

'''Dark Nella:''' I know, and eyeliner.

* Sara Waite of the [[Whateley Universe]] isn't a villain, but she has this as part of her "scary goth girl" character design. [[Lampshaded]] in her introduction; the narrative describes her as "wearing enough make-up to deflect low caliber projectiles at close range". It's not actually makeup though -- herthough—her face just looks that way.
