Make your eyes pop this festive season with these Instagrammable eyeliner trends

As the festive season approaches, there’s no better time to give your eyes the spotlight they deserve, which is why we are here to spill the beans on the latest eyeliner styles that will have you looking like a living work of art on your social feeds. Whether you are the resident makeup guru of your friend group or someone who’s still trying to master the art of the perfect winged eyeliner, we have got you covered. These Bollywood-approved eyeliner trends are all the rage, and so versatile that they will suit every skill level and personal style. 

Take your pick! 

Reversed cat eye

Shraddha Kapoor’s eye look takes the classic cat-eye and flips it, with a thicker line along the lower lash line extending upwards to meet the upper lash line at the outer corner. To recreate this look, simply apply eyeliner along the lower lash line and connect it with a smooth curver to the upper lid’s outer edge. 

Dramatic double wings 

If you are a fan of dramatic eye looks, Priyanka Chopra’s bold, double-winged eyeliner is the perfect inspiration for your festive makeup look. To recreate it, start by creating a sharp winged liner along your upper lash line. Then, extend a second wing, mirroring the first but slightly above the crease. Precision is key here, and when executed well it creates a look that is sure to make a statement at any event. 

Classic winged eyeliner 

You can never go wrong with a classic winged liner! To recreate Janhvi Kapoor’s look, begin by drawing a fine, precise line along your upper lash line, extending it slightly past the outer corner of your eye in a subtle wing, and you’re done! The beauty of this look lies in its simplicity, making it accessible for everyone, from makeup beginners to beauty gurus. Pair it with a bold red lip for a sophisticated festive look that’s sure to turn heads at any holiday or festive gathering. 

Smudged eyeliner 

Bhumi Pednekar’s smudged eyeliner look adds a touch of drama to your eye makeup, making it ideal for evening gatherings or celebrations. To recreate, start by applying a soft kohl eyeliner along the upper and lower lash lines. Then, gently smudge the lines using a smudging brush or a cotton swab for a hazy effect. This not only intensifies your look but also adds a slightly smoky finish.

Colour pop  

If you’re looking to step away from your traditional black or brown eyeliners and opt for a bolder and more festive look (that also matches your outfit), try experimenting with a colourful eyeliner for your eye look. To recreate Priyanka Chopra's vibrant liner, begin by applying a neutral eyeshadow as a base to create a smooth canvas for your liner. Then, carefully draw a precise line along your upper lash line using a bright blue eyeliner pencil. To make your makeup stand out even more, consider applying a small amount of glitter using a thin brush to the outer corner of your eyes.
