Eyeliner 101: From Classic Wings to Creative Lines

Eyeliner is one of the most wanted and needed essentials of any woman's daily beauty regime. “It’s more than just a tool, it's a tool for expression.” With trends evolving across generations—be it Gen-Z or Millennials—the love for eyeliner has never faded. From sleek wings to smudgy statements, eyeliner allows endless creativity for every occasion and mood.

Whether you're going for a bold cat-eye or a natural definition, the right technique can enhance your eye shape and make your lashes look fuller in seconds.

Let’s explore a few go-to styles:

  • Classic Winged Eyeliner

A forever favorite of everyone just start by drawing a thin line along your upper lash line and then gently flick it outward at the outer corner of your eyes. Connect the tip of the flick back to the lash line to form a smooth wing

  • Smudged Smokey Line

The perfect eye look for an evening party or if you want to have a sexy, sultry look. Draw a line on both your upper and lower lash lines. Then, use your fingertip or smudger brush, blend it softly on the edges to create a smoky effect. 

  • Graphic or Colorful Liner

Once you're prepared to express yourself, look into shapes and styles that go beyond the fundamentals. Experiment with sharp double wings, a daring splash of color, or even negative space features. Whether you choose a monochrome or vibrant approach, precision and contrast bring these looks to life.
