Rock eyeliner that makes a bold statement. You want it to look like you drew it on with a Sharpie, but DON’T actually draw it on with a Sharpie.
A liquid pen eyeliner pen, like Maybelline’s Eye Studio Master Graphic, will give you bold, sharp lines that stay put.
The Lips

Top off the look with gold hoops. They’re the easiest accessory to find that will add the perfect touch of glam to any bandanas or flannels.
