On tonight s Golden Globes red carpet, Cynthia Erivo proved there s no such thing as too much neon. As if her highlighter green Valentino Haute Couture gown wasn t enough of a moment on its own, the Genius: Aretha star upped the ante on high-octane color with graphic strokes of purple eyeliner.

"We wanted to create something that popped," says makeup artist Terrell Mullin, who brought Erivo s eye moment to life. After perfecting Erivo’s glowing complexion with Armani s Luminous Silk foundation and concealer, the pro rimmed her upper and lower lashlines in combination of Armani Beauty s Eye Tint in dark purple 53 and Eyes To Kill Designer Liner in Holographic Amethyst for brightness and dimension.

“Purple eyeliner is a striking statement that immediately grabs the viewers’ attention," says Mullin of the fluorescent touch of color. "It s a true show look that amplifies her gorgeous eyes and adds some whimsy." With dreaded Monday morning nearly upon us, let Erivo s mood-boosting neon purple gaze inspire your next Zoom meeting look.
