7 BEST GRAPHIC EYELINER LOOKS

-

 

   

If you want to crank up your glam avatar a notch and a half, graphic eyeliner looks should be on your radar. The trend, a novelty of 1960, has stood the test of time and involves sketching geometric patterns (around the eye) in bold, unique hues. Steering clear of mundanity, a graphic liner is chic and bold, whether you opt for a double flick or a floating crease! 

1. Chrome EyeLiner

Inarguably our favourite pick for the festive season, a chrome graphic eyeliner adds depth and drama to your eyes. Use a liquid liner for a thin strobe along the upper lash line or go all out with an alluring wing – the sea of options is never-ending.

2. Reverse Cat Eye

A reverse cat eye is runway-worthy – it adds an incomparable depth to your gaze. If you want to crack this look with (dare we say) minimal effort, add a wing-like tip to the corner of your eye! For a fierce feline look, use a deep hue and meticulously contour the lower lash line. Extend this strobe only to create a wing (an inverted tip) at the corner.

3. Floating Liner

Popularised by HBO’s hit venture Euphoria, a floating eyeliner creatively leverages the negative space around your eyes and guarantees drama. Whether you want to play with glitter or bedazzle your look with rhinestones, the style demands intuitive use of colour and not (so much) strategy. For this look, you can pick any placement – the crease, the corner of the eyes, or the lower waterline.

4. Twiggy Eyeliner

Twiggy eye makeup – the “It eyeliner” of the ‘60s – has made a comeback, much to our delight! The look entails a half circle riding the natural contour of the brown bone. Use your pick of texture or hue to create this semi-circle for a brighter gaze and an exaggerated look. Next, use a bright and bold colour to tighten your upper waterline. Remember, this strobe protruding on both ends shouldn’t arch up. For finishing touches, fill in the negative space with sprinkling glitter or rhinestones or draw on small shapes.

5. The Double Wing

Mastered the classic winged eyeliner look? Then it’s time to shake things up with a double wing! Guaranteeing “double the fun,” this look has several renditions on social media. But we love a simple yet striking double-stacked liner, which is easy to create at home. This stroke of genius will shine a spotlight on your beautiful eyes. Alternatively, you can switch one wing with a band of gems or a brushing of glitter.

6. Celestial Ring Eyeliner

This “spaced-out” (no puns there) eyeliner look has been doing the rounds on social media, warranting a mention on our list. To get the look, just create a hoop or a circle (in your preferred orientation), mimicking the rings around a heavenly body in the solar system. This is a low-effort look that seldom falters, and you can further jazz it up with an assortment of stars or pressed pigments.

7. Cloud-like Graphic Eyeliner Look

To reiterate – there is no limit or definition for creativity when it comes to this infamous graphic eyeliner look. You can sketch precise lines for a classic wing or freehand florals and fauna on the lids – the choice is yours. Case in point, we have heart eyes for the dreamy cloud eye makeup in a striking purple hue. If you have a flair for art, ditch the regular designs and go full throttle! Add pressed pigments or a swathe of glitter for a nuanced look.

How to Make Your Lips Look Bigger: 7 Makeup Tips

  1.   Add a bit of shine .  Glossy products attract light and attention to your lips, making even nude lips look fuller and hydrated. Dab a small amount of highlighter, shimmer, or high-shine clear  lip gloss  to the middle of your lips. Brush a small amount of  highlighter  or pearlescent eye shadow onto your cupid’s bow for extra effect. 2.   Consider lip plumper .  Lip plumpers use collagen peptides or natural, mild irritants like peppermint, cinnamon, or cayenne to react with your lip skin, increase blood flow, and cause your lips to swell slightly. While plumping glosses can make your lips look bigger, use these products with caution if you have sensitive,  dry skin  or allergies. 3 .   Exfoliate dead skin .  Remove the dry, flaky dead skin cells on your lips for a fuller-looking pout. Use a soft toothbrush or  DIY lip scrub  to exfoliate lips. Avoid exfoliating more than once a week since too much exfoliat...

Step 1: Assess Your   Shape Stick to the natural shape of your eyebrows. Using your tweezers as a guide, hold them up to your eyebrows to measure where to begin. “The top bridge of your nose, you align it with your tweezer,” Vucetaj says. “It's not [at the widest part of your nose]. A lot of people think it's there, but it's the top bridge." For the tops of your brows, Vucetag recommends holding the tweezer and angling it the same direction up to the peak. The easiest way to find your arch? Take one finger and lightly pull up. “With the arches, you just lift slightly the arch,” Vucetaj says. “It can help you figure out how much or how little of an arch you want. If you want higher, you know to do that.”     The easiest way to find your arch?
