What It Graphic Eyeliner

Graphic eyeliner goes beyond the traditional cat eye, adding creative shapes and unexpected placements. This season, think double wings, bold geometric shapes, and colored liners like navy, green, or white. It’s a high-impact, artistic look that draws attention to the eyes, offering a fun way to switch up a classic winter makeup routine​

How to Achieve the Look:

    1. Choose Your Liner: Liquid or gel liners work best for sharp, precise lines, and they come in colors beyond black, such as metallic shades or vibrant hues.
    2. Start with a Classic Shape: Begin with a basic cat eye, then add another line or shape to make it graphic. For example, you can create a double wing by drawing a parallel line above your cat eye flick.
    3. Experiment with Shapes: Try outlining the crease of your eyelid or adding small dots or angles at the inner corner of the eye. You can also extend the liner into unique shapes for a more creative, editorial look.
    4. Keep the Rest of the Face Simple: To let the eyeliner be the star, keep the rest of your makeup soft. Opt for natural-looking skin and a hint of blush.
    5. Seal the Look: For longevity, especially if using gel or liquid, lightly set the liner with a matching shadow if possible. This helps prevent smudging and keeps the lines sharp all day.\\
