Boots No7 Stay Perfect Shade & Define in Pink Pearl is a pink shade with a smudge-friendly formula that will help you build color to your heart's desire along your lower lash line. Hug the lash line for a more subtle pop of color or blur it out for a more dramatic, in-your-face effect.

Purple Haze
If you're a little "eyeliner challenged," this look is for you. Bright purple smudged along the lower lash line is a lived-in departure from some of the more precise looks, and is an easy way to test out colored liner (without the time commitment of creating a full-blown cat eye).

For a perfectly unperfect smudged line, Lucero first lines the lower lash line by wiggling a creamy pencil (we're fans of Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner in Violet and L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Eyeliner in Violet) along the roots of the lashes for depth. She then uses the skinny end of Stila Brush #15 to buff it out.

"I do love to wear a double cat eye," says Lucero, who created this look for Alice + Olivia's Spring 2013 collection.

"Liquid formulas create a strong graphic pop art look," says Lucero, which is exactly what we're going for here. Use a black liquid liner, like Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner, to create a winged eye. Once that dries, simply layer a colored liner on top. Lucero used Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner in Periwinkle, but this look would work with any bright liner, thanks to the eye-defining black liner near the lash line.
