5 Ways to Update Makeup For a Pixie CutHow to make up your face so you don't get mistaken for a guy |
Minimize Your Eye Makeup When King first got her pixie cut, she did smudgy 1940s-inspired eye makeup and wore lipstick. "I felt like I had to hyper-feminize my eyes to offset the boyishness of the haircut," she says. "But I realized that you actually need less makeup when you have a pixie." The makeup looks too obvious when you have less hair.
So she gave up the shadow and fast-forwarded a few decades to a '60s-inspired look: "just liner on top with a kick at the end -- and lots of lashes." The key is to use a marker or gel eyeliner to create a clean line. We love Marc Jacobs Magic Marc'er Precision Pen Eyeliner, $30, because it's seriously inky and lasts all day.
