My relationship with graphic eyeliners is a love-hate one. On the one hand, they bring an outfit together but on the other, the process is so hard to get it jusssst right. As every beauty editor today will tell you, a pop of colour is always in style – just take Florence Pugh on the red carpet of Dune 2 or any of Doja Cat’s masterful Instagram posts. So while the rise of graphic liners dates back to the 1960s, they have been omnipresent for the past decade.
The difficulty of nailing one of these looks does not really stop me from trying a few looks when I can. It took me two months to ace the perfect winged liner, and I’m hoping I’ll figure this out soon enough. But in my research on how to nail this look, I’ve amassed a series of looks I use for inspiration as well as a few products that are perfect for beginners like you and I. Even if you’ve already mastered this elusive art, I hope you can use these for some new inspiration.
