We all wish we could perfect the properly thick, perfectly drawn cat-eye sweep, but most of us save our heaviest and most intricate eyeliner looks for nights out on the town. What happens when one overindulges in thick eyeliner every day for a whole week?
Romper’s Sarah Bunton decided to experiment on herself, changing up her usually demure eye makeup look to make it daring for seven days straight. Aside from the obvious confusion from friends and family (if they even noticed a difference at all), Bunton learned that heavy eyeliner taught her more about herself than anything else.
When it comes to eyeliner, less is usually more

For the final two days, Bunton went funky, provoking reactions from both her husband and son and some uncharitable (by her estimation) attention from strangers. Overall, she learned a lot about her own insecurities, versus actually learning any makeup skills. Bunton discovered, above all else, that a little liner goes a long way both when it comes to self-expression and confidence, particularly for young mothers feeling stressed about being unable to pay any attention to themselves anymore.
A piece by Kate Bigam in Her View From Home comes to a similar conclusion, from a self-confessed eyeliner addict, that less is more. Bigam admits, similarly to Bunton, that wearing thick eyeliner every day isn’t a necessity, particularly considering most (male) partners won’t even notice a difference. It can be pretty easy to make eyeliner mistakes, but if you’re thinking it’s a perfect cat eye or nothing, fear not, as the opposite is likely true.
