Everyone loves a a classic cat eye, but there's just one problem with the it: It's just too reliable. So reliable, in fact, that it's easy to get caught in a makeup slump because you forget how to do anything on your eyes save for that one sleek line.
But contrary to popular belief, eyeliner has the potential to carry a lot of personality. There are a million and one ways to do it, as has been proven by Instagram trends and makeup artists time and again.
So what should you do with your eyeliner, then? I'll tell you — using the world's most accurate medium: Astrology.
Scorpio: Smoky shadow wing
Scorpios are known for their dark and alluring sensuality, which can only be outshone by a smoky eye. Instead of your liquid liner, just grab a sharp brow brush and a glittery eye shadow and go to town.

Sagittarius: Color-blocking
Sagittarius is the goofball of the zodiac, so they require something truly out there. No need for actual eyeliner here, just dip a liner brush into one of your many bright liquid lipsticks. Bonus points if you use it as mascara, too.
