playtime: blue liner

The bright blue cat eye from the Marc Jacobs Spring 2014 show has been on my mind.

The hair is unfortunate but the bold liner, without any other distractions on the face, is simple and effective.

I used Urban Decay 24/7 liner in flipside, a metallic turquoise, but Rimmel has a cobalt liner that looks promising as well. I’m wondering what other shades might serve this purpose; bright to the point of distraction yet not instantly editorial/theatrical like pink or yellow would be. Red, too, I think. But maybe not if the right shade?

Some stunning saturated violet, even lavender could work. Most shades of green are on the table. Gold…this calls for experimentation.
