Her favorite $6 makeup item: Revlon’s ColorStay Skinny Liquid Liner. The amazing and cheap drugstore product gives the model the perfect cat eye every time.

“I'm also very committed to a cat eye. I'm always like, 'I don't need it! I don't need it!' But I've been doing it since I was 15, so I always end up throwing it on. Tonight it's just a tried-and-true Revlon Liquid Liner,” Emily told Into The Gloss.
