Fifty Shades of Grey (Eyeliner)
Consider toning down your cat's eye and kitten eyeliner for the dog days of summer
Hello, Gorgeous!
Do you watch General Hospital? ABC’s long running soap has been a delight this summer with intrigue and meltdowns including Willow’s post wedding-that-never-happened mascara and eyeliner.
In case you don’t watch GH, Willow had an epic makeup disaster with leaking eye makeup everywhere. Think the Zillennial lovechild of Norma Desmond and Tammy Faye Bakker and you’re on the right track.
It’s a look I’ve been working hard to avoid this hades-like summer, but I’ve come up with an easy fix: grey eyeliner instead of black.
A quick eyeliner refresher
In case all you do is swipe and go, this might help put some of the looks in context.
Cat Eye is a more dramatic look with sharp-winged black liner. (If you know me for the past few decades, you’ll know this is my default eyeliner look).
Kitten Eye is a softer, smaller wing for when you want a bit of sass. Less Chrissie Hynde more Taylor Swift on a night off.
Whatever your eye look, it can be hard to keep on during the hottest summer …
