The eyes, Chico, they never lie!” These very eyes can put you in a trance, especially if they’re styled perfectly. And that’s where an eyeliner comes into the picture! It’s one of the most versatile beauty tools in a makeup kit, transforming any eye into a work of art. But with so many eyeliner styles to choose from, it can be tricky to pick the look that works best for you. Understanding your eye shape is key to perfecting your eye makeup. Whether you love bold wings, subtle flicks, or sultry smudges, here are 5 uber-cool eyeliner styles for every eye shape.
1. Winged eyeliner for almond-shaped eyes
Most eyeliner styles work well for fashionistas with almond-shaped eyes. If you’ve almond eyes, you can go all out with a bold, dramatic wing. This look accentuates the natural shape of your eye, adding lift and definition. To create the perfect wing, start tracing a thin line along your upper lash line and gradually thickening it as you move towards the outer corner of the eye. Extend the line upwards for a fierce, flattering wing.
2. Bold flicks for round eyes
Round eyes often appear larger, so the goal is to elongate and define the eyes rather than emphasise the roundness. A soft, subtle flick on the outer corner of the eye works wonders on such eye shapes. Instead of a thick, bold wing, aim for a thin, tapered line that flicks upward just slightly at the outer corner. If you want to intensify the look, you can layer the flick with a smoky shadow to add depth.
3.
Hooded eyes often have a layer of skin that partially covers the eyelid, making it a tad difficult to create the illusion of a defined crease. When it comes to eyeliner, avoid thick lines on the top lash line, as this can make the eyes appear even more closed. Instead, opt for a delicate stroke along the upper lashes, keeping it as close to the eyelash as possible. A slight upward flick with the eye makeup kajal on the outer corners can lift the eyes and create a more open look.
4. Tightlining and soft flicks for small eyes
If you have smaller eyes, you’ll want to use an eyeliner pencil that makes your eyes look larger than usual. Tightlining, a technique of applying eyeliner to the waterline, can make the lash line appear fuller. For added definition, go for a thin, subtle flick at the outer corner to create a lifting effect without closing the eyes. Stick to darker shades like deep black or dark brown to enhance your lashes further.
5. Thin lines with a pop of colour for monolid eyes
Monolid eyes lack a visible crease and can benefit from simple eyeliner styles that open up the eyes. A thin line along the upper lash line helps define the eyes without making them look too heavy. For a bit of fun and a pop of personality, try adding a colourful liner or a gradient effect to the outer corners for a modern twist.
