While creating graphic eyeliner seems daunting at first, with enough practice, you can master this skill and create stunning looks. All you need is a steady hand, the proper tools, and patience. If you want to make some unique eye looks this season, here are a few eye looks and liners I recommend.
Eye Looks to Create
Double Cat Eye
This simple yet stunning look is easy to recreate. Start by extending a classic liner wing out to the tip of the brow and past the inner corner
of the eye. Next, using a white liner, line the lower lash line and waterline before adding a shadow below the inner and outer wings. Switch back to black liner to mirror the lower lash line, and add some mascara and false lashes for the finishing touch.
Crease Halo
This beginner-friendly look is not only super easy to recreate but unique-looking. Take your eyeliner and follow the natural curve of the crease on your eye. Remember to place the liner high enough that it won’t become obscured when you open your eyes. Use a vibrant color like blue or purple for that added pop for an even bolder look.
Full-Lid Liner
If you want a look that is all about balance and symmetry, this is the one. When creating this look, keep your eyes open while looking in the mirror. Your eyes need to be in a natural resting pose so you can establish the symmetry of the liner. Erase any mistakes before filling in the shape completely with matte black liner.
Highly Rated Graphic Liners
If you like using eye pencils, I recommend purchasing the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil from Ulta Beauty. This pencil has an award-winning formula that glides on smoothly and comes in vibrant shades in multiple finishes for long-lasting wear. It comes in many shades (bold black to vibrant colors) and finishes (matte, shimmer, satin, glitter, and metallic).
Try Tom Ford’s Gel Eyeliner from Nordstrom when you want waterproof gel eyeliner. This gel pencil accentuates the eyes and creates a dramatic look. Smooth and blendable, it helps enhance the definition of your eyes. It is available in black, brown, and nude colors and offers 12 hours of transfer-proof, non-smudging wear.
If you’re a liquid liner person, get the Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner from Sephora. Easy-to-apply, this liner has a thin, marker-like lip that is perfect for delivering any look. In addition to going on smoothly, it is quick-drying and does not smudge or run.
