Makeup Made For the Rehab Reject

Admit it: when you first saw Amy Winehouse's, well, unique eye makeup you thought, "Is she serious?" Not many would have guessed this over-the-top eyeliner would be a future trend. Her exaggerated cat eyes also seemed a little eccentric to me, until I saw what Alexander McQueen had models wearing for his fall show (shown above). They, like Winehouse, donned thick black liner drawn past the eyes, but they paired it with dramatic black brows and blue eyeshadow from lash line to brow bone.

This, by no means, should be used as everyday makeup, but it does reflect on the new fall trend: thick eyeliner. My favorites are classic black, or an edgy turquoise or teal. A more subdued version of the McQueen look can be found at the MAC Cosmetics site. They also use blue shadow and black liner, but it is street-compatible and a little more easy on the eyes.

Where can you find it?
MAC Cosmetics stores are found in many malls, and several department stores carry MAC cosmetics counters. A few department stores that carry it are: Bloomingdales, Macy's, and Nordstrom.
