Black Out

<p>There are only two things you need your eyeliner to be this season: black and greasy. When it comes to technique, it's a free-for-all. Stay safe with a classic flick, as seen at Nicole Miller, or a soft smudge; go for the piercing stare of a Versace girl (left) by rimming your waterlines in ink; or take a dramatically dark turn and don't stop 'til you hit the brow.</p>
