27 Amazing Eyeliner Ideas You Need To Try

Eyeliner is an essential piece of every woman’s makeup bag. Sharp touch of a black or colored liner brings eye-makeup on the whole new level in just 60 seconds. Winged eyeliner, also known as the cat-eye, is classic, sexy and fresh way to define and lift the eye.

Although the black winged eyeliner  is flattering and looks amazing, you can easily get bored of it. Luckily, there are ways to switch up your eyeliner game. If you would love to try something a little different, here are 27 eyeliner ideas that are anything but boring.

1. Rainbow Eyeliner

Rainbow eyeliner is perfect for days when you want to replace your boring cat-eye. It’s bright, vibrant and the colors scream spring and summer!  You can achieve this look in few easy steps.

Step 1: Create a winged line in black. You can skip this step if you don’t need a guide for your rainbow eyeliner.

Step 2: Grab a small detailer or angled liner brush. Using small and steady strokes, apply a pink eyeshadow on the inner corner of your eye. To make the colors more vibrant, you can wet the brush with a fix spray or water.

Step 3: Proceed with orange color and blend it with the pink. Make sure to clean the brush before each color.

Step 4: Apply yellow (or gold), green, light blue and dark blue eyeshadow. When you’re satisfied with your rainbow effect, apply a white liner to your waterline. This step will make your eyes appear larger.

Step 5: Apply mascara and false lashes.

2. Black Eyeliner with a Heart

What a cute way to amp your eyeliner routine! This look is all about the detail so you’ll need a little bit of patience. The heart shape is created with a heart sticker or confetti. If you have a steady arm and some skills, you can even make the heart without using any stickers. Lovely and easy!

10. Smudged Eyeliner

Smudged eyeliner is perfect choice for women who can never get their cat-eye right. Your first application of eyeliner doesn’t have to look perfect because you’re gonna smudge it! The look is sexy but still work-appropriate.

For sparkling and dazzling eyes, we recommend this look. Thick eyeliner is very hot right now and who doesn’t love glitter, right? We dare you to try it!

13. Blue Winged Eyeliner

Make your eyes pop with a blue winged eyeliner. Blue is one of the most flattering makeup colors for brown eyes. Blue eyeshadows can be tricky to pull off, so rather opt for a blue eyeliner.

We just love the contrast between royal blue shade and brown eyes. Stunning!

14. Purple Winged Eyeliner

Feeling a bit adventurous? Give this look a try! When using bright and colorful colors as your eyeshadow, it’s important to blend everything nicely.  This color combo works best for brown eyes. This look will turn heads, that’s for sure!

15. Black and Turquoise Eyeliner

Bold and electric makeup is a perfect choice for women who want to stand out from the crowd. Unfortunately, electric eyeshadows are hard to pull off and you can easily end up with a look of an ’80s prom queen. Instead, try the trend by investing in a few vibrant eyeliners. You won’t regret it!

16. Gold Sequin Eyeliner

Here’s another version of a black and gold eyeliner. The contrast between them is absolutely gorgeous. Two little lines in right colors can transform your makeup look in a big way! What’s best about it is that you don’t need any makeup skills to rock this look.

Less is sometimes more! Gold tones will bring out the shine and sparkle in your eyes. Gold eyeliner looks glamorous when paired with a black one.
