# Anti-Precision Eye Liners 'Basket Case' Was Designed by Kat Von D and Billie Joel By Ell Smith | Published 2017-12-06 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-case References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2017/12/green-day-kat-von-d-basket-case-eyeliner-release-date) Both Kat Von D and Billie Joel Armstrong of Green Day have been rocking bold eyeliner looks for decades, so it's only fitting that the pair collaborated in an [eye liner-heavy cosmetics line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-tinted) called "Basket Case." While most eye liners focus on creating sharp and delicate lines, this collection retails an "[anti-precision" crayon liner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bigshow-multiuse-eyeshadow-pen) that's perfect for achieving that effortless 'morning after' make-up look that's popular among punk rockers. The liner is enclosed in [Gothic packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-cosmetics-x-wednesday) which reads "Basket Case" -- one of Green Day's most popular songs. In addition the liner's lid features the signatures of both Billie Joel Armstrong and Kat Von D, providing fans' of the pair with a special treat. While most cosmetic lines have shifted to more precise, cleaner looks, this collaborative effort aims to bring back the smeared, smokey-eyed looks worn by the rock stars of the 70's and 80's. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Anti-precision Cosmetics:** There is a growing trend for anti-precision cosmetic products that allow consumers to create effortless looks. - **Collaboration Cosmetics:** Collaboration cosmetics are becoming more popular, with brands team up with celebrities or influencers to create new products. - **Revival of 70's and 80's Make-up:** There is a resurgence of interest in make-up looks from the 70's and 80's with brands creating products to cater to this trend. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Cosmetics:** The cosmetics industry has many opportunities to create anti-precision products and collaborate with celebrities or influencers. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore the trend of 70's and 80's make-up looks and incorporate them into runway shows, clothing lines, and accessories. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can take advantage of the collaboration trend by partnering with brands to create unique products for their fans and audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [24-Hour Liquid Liners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/247-ink-liquid-liners.md) - [Eyeshadow-Liner Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquideyes.md) - [90s-Inspired Lip Liners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-lip-liner.md) - [Band-Approved Canned Matchas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-day.md) - [Smudge-Proof Brown Eyeliners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tubing-eyeliner.md) - [Comedic Horror Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-x-beetlejuice.md) - [Long-Wear Stage-Proof Eyeliners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stageproof-eyeliner.md) - [Makeup Water Brand Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corpse-paint-makeup.md) - [Rock Band Coffee Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-day-x-keurig-kiced-plus-brewer.md)
