Bunton kept the rest of her makeup pared back, focusing only on the eyes, which provoked precisely zero reaction from those close to her. Next, she cast aside traditional kohl pencil for liquid liner — something most women save for special occasions, given how tricky it can be to get right. It's worth noting that Everyday Health explains that kohl liners could contain too much lead to be safe.
Regardless, liquid liner didn't get a reaction either, so Bunton then took it to extremes with colored liners instead, opting for purple as a statement (thankfully, her hubby finally noticed a difference). By day four, Bunton was getting sick of applying the liner since it was taking up too much of her valued time. Working from home meant she could pull back slightly but, the following day, she split the difference between no effort and too much with a muted plum color and was delighted to be complemented by a stranger in line at Starbucks.
