Kat Von D has teamed up with long-time friend, and Green Day frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong, to create the perfect black smudge pencil eyeliner for the ultimate rocker, messy, smoky eye.
From shows to music videos to the red carpet, Billie Joe has rocked his signature eyeliner look since the 90’s, and now guys and girls can recreate it themselves with this super limited-edition collaboration available exclusively at SEPHORA and KATVONDBEAUTY.COM. No need for brushes or multiple products, simply apply, smudge with fingers, and flaunt.
Billie Joe Armstrong had this to say:
It’s really exciting to be – what I think is the first – male musician (or even male) – to launch a black pencil eyeliner like this and in collaboration with Kat. Her products are amazing.
Kat Von D added:
Super excited about our upcoming eyeliner collab! There’s no one else on the planet better to create a black pencil eyeliner to give a perfect anti-precision smudgy look than the guy who made it famous in the first place, Billie Joe.
Get The Look:
Leah Carmichael from the Kat Von D Beauty Artistry Collective (@iamleah) spills her secrets on how she created Kat’s ultimate rocker eye in the new Basket Case eyeliner campaign with Billie Joe Armstrong:
- When coming up with Kat’s look for the Basket Case campaign we knew that going with the heaviest, darkest smoky eye would be the best way to show the world that they were about to get their hands on the ultimate black pencil eyeliner.
- When applying Kat’s smoky eye we went straight in and smudged the hell out of the pencil and used the domed side of the Shade & Light Eye smudge brush to get the look. The Basket Case liner’s super creamy formula allows you to easily build and layer your own smoky “AF” look.
- Basket Case is an anti-precision eyeliner, so there are no rules. Whether you are going for a dark smoky eye or a subtle smoky wing, Basket Case is going to be your most important and versatile tool. You could even use your finger to apply it as a dark eyeshadow base.
Kelseyanna Fitzpatrick from the Kat Von D Beauty Artistry Collective (@kelseyannaf) shared how she created Billie Joe’ssignature eyeliner look:
- To achieve Billie Joe’s “guy liner,” loosely apply Basket Case pencil eyeliner onto bare lids along lashline top and bottom, and in the waterline. Buff out using a small brush or your fingers – the messier the better!
