10 Fun Eyeliner Styles you need to Try | Makeup Inspiration

Eyeliner has always been the most tricky part of makeup for me. Most makeup beginners struggle with applying blush and foundations but for me it is a struggle to properly line my eyes with my forever shaky hands. With practice I have perfected the liner art and the Maybelline colossal pen liner has simplified things a lot. So now it is time to experiment with eye liner styles and get creative.

I have already discussed about my makeup rut and how I got out of it . A bright new lip colour is the easiest way to change your look but even a little bit of tweaking with your eyeliner styles can help you get a makeover. Want inspiration? Here I list to you 10 fun eyeliner styles to try 

 Different and Fun Eyeliner styles and designs

#1  Add a bit of colour pop dual liner style


Make your winged liner more dramatic by adding a pop of colour. The first blue -black look is a bit too bold and daring for me but the second look of gold with black is totally doable and I have already tried it once at home. I just cant wait for a wedding in my family to flaunt it. If you want to try this look then use Maybelline hyper glossy liner in black and maybelline electrics gold liner. They also have a laser green which can help you create the first look. I used Jordana liquid liner and Maybelline gold liner and the result was glossy party makeup look

#2  Chic winged bow eyeliner style

I cant really do a perfect  winged eyeliner but this ribbon or bow liner has me obsessed. I am so in love with this chic liner style. If you have a steady hand this one is a must try, do your normal wing liner and then draw a bow at the edge. This cute bow liner look is best for parties and will look great for Christmas. 
See detailed tutorial here



#3 Fun confetti eyeliner style

I have met many nail art lovers who have done some super delish arts on nails but art on your upper lash line is also a reality. Confetti liner is the new beauty trend and is the perfect party makeup idea. It looks like glitter sprinkled on your lash line but it actually isnt. Like in nail art you use your coloured liners to dot on your lash line to create a playful confetti  effect. Cool na? It is a bit difficult but with practice you actually make a fun look with existing coloured liners. 

See tutorial above


#4 Line your eyes with an offbeat color

For a more simple but fun eye look try a very off beat hatke colour to line your eye lids. Greens, blues and browns are pretty common but how about using red or pink eye liner? Inglot has liners in a variety of colours and even maybelline hyper glossy electrics range has some fun colours you can try. Before spending on a liner see if the colour looks good on you by creating you own custom eyeliner with eye shadows. Use a wet liner brush with an eyeshadow and line your lashes.

#5 Egyptian Inspired eyeliner style


If you like playing with black liner then try this bold egyptian inspired liner style. Line your water line and do a normal wing liner and then go about working on your lower lashline to create a slant lower wing. Complete this look with loads of mascara or you can even use fake lashed for a more defined look. You can try liner style for festive looks but go easy on the other make up and help your eyes grab all the attention. A glossy pink or soft brown lips with peach blush best complements this look.

#6 Rainbow eyeliner liner


If you love colours dont stick to just one for your eye liner try the all new rainbow eye liner trend. This is super bright and vibrant so it is best suited for summer . It can look very complicated but if you have a steady hand and a colourful eye shadow pallet this is completely doable.

#7 The triple flick liner

If black is what you prefer when it comes to liners why not experiment just with it? Try  more than one flicks. Start off with simple double flicks and then move on to creating more bold triple flics and add some dots here and there for more artistic look

#8 Daring Gothic eyeliner style

This Gothic eye look is strictly for the experimental women. You can use a gel liner with different liner brushes to achieve this look or try a temporary eye liner tattoo set which you can buy here

#9 Black liner with a heart

Can an eyeliner get any cuter? This heart liner will be perfect for a date or for valentines day but ofourse you need lots of liner skills to get it right. You can outline the heart and then fill your wing or use a heart sticker to make things a bit more easier.

#10 Unique graphic eyeliner style




Dramatic and quirky this eyeliner style is not everyones cup of tea. A graphic liner isnt something you can wear everyday but you are allowed to experiment crazy with your makeup so try this super funky look .  If this liner style looks very elaborate to you then try just half of it, skip the curves on the upper eyelid also the flicks from the inner corner can also be skipped. Go crazy and create your own grahic liner styles and grab eye balls on instagram

Additional eyeliner application Tips

- Make your liner last all day by setting it with a matching eye shadow. Use a firm eye shadow brush for this

- If you dont have a very steady hand with liners then keep a skin-colored eyeliner pencil handy to fix minor smudges. You can even use a concealer in pen form for this or just dip a Q tip in makeup remover and correct your mistake.

-For the perfect winged liner flick use the edge of a business card or a spoon. You can also use a cellotape for this.

- Always apply eyeliner after application of eye shadow but before your apply mascara. With more funky eye liner styles it is better to skip eye shadows or you can just apply a neutral brown shade.

- Line only half of your lower lashline if you have small eye. This will make them look bigger. You can also use a white liner on your waterline to make them look bigger

- It is good to connect your top and bottom liner at the outer corner but avoid going all the way to your tear duct as it waters easily and can cause smudging.

I was Stuck in a Makeup Rut - Heres how I got out without spending much

Post pregnancy and child birth I was always in short of time which limited my makeup experiments to a great extent. To save time and play safe I stuck to a makeup routine carving out a signature look . It was easy and worked great too, putting liner, kajal, a peach blush and MLBB lipstick and BAM ! I looked good but after a point it got boring . It was official I was stuck in a makeup rut.

I am a beauty enthusiast and I love indulging in makeup . Experimenting with looks comes naturally to me and so once I put my mind into breaking free of the beauty rut I actually succeeded and here I bring to you tips to freshen up your look without spending much.

How to get out of a Makeup rut and Keep it fresh this festive season

Make coloured liners your new best friend:

I used to  stick to kajal on eyes and black liner occasionally. But a year back I tried my sisters electric blue liquid liner and was shocked by how my eyes popped giving me a complete makeover of sorts. Coloured liners are super hot in trend and possess the ability to brighten up eyes and give them a sexy look. If you want to try new makeup looks try coloured liners as they dont involve any practice in application . If you are not  comfortable with bold bright colours then start off safe with browns, dark blue or olive greens which suit most Indian complexions. I recently brought coloured liners from coloressence which are total value for money. They are creamy, stay long and priced right.  I recommend you start off with this range.

Invest in makeup pallets:

The easiest way to get yourself to experiment with makeup is to invest in pallets. Lip and eye pallets offer you more options to try, sparking your creative cells in the process making you test a variety of colours helping you create new looks

Experiment with liner styles

If coloured liners really isnt your thing then get creative with your normal basic black liner. Try winged liner, double flicks, cat eye, angled liner, graphic liner and more. A differently applied black liner also has power to transform your look by huge leaps.

Explore new makeup techniques

How do you apply your makeup products? If you use a flat or stippling brush to apply a foundation then try a sponge for a change which give a more dewy finish. If you apply lipstick right from the bullet try using a lip brush for a more painted lips effect. This little change in technique will make a lot of difference on your overall look.

Look for inspiration and try new looks

You should be open to trying new ideas and looks to really break out of a makeup rut. You may stick to certain styles and colours because it suits your face type and complexion but when at home experiment a bit and you never know maybe something totally crazy can actually work for you. I thought the idea of an orange lip colour ridiculous but when I tested it out at a beauty store I HAD to get it. It looked fun and fresh. Also look for inspiration to create new looks, like from bollywood divas . I always use Cannes red carpet looks of Sonam and Aishwarya as inspiration with dramatic new looks.

Mix up lip colours:

This trick has been a game changer for me off late. I had so many lip colours in my collection but reached out only for 2-3 colours which I thought was just perfect shades for me. Most of my makeup products are purchased online and when I received them I wish they were a shade lighter or darker and then they got stashed away to be used very rarely. Last week I tried this super mix of two lip colours and it worked like charm giving me a MLBB shade of my dreams.
I  had purchased Loreal moist matte lipstick in Maple Mocha but it was a bit too deep and looked mature on me. I applied a coat of Revlon just bitten balm rendezvous on my lips and topped it with Maple mocha for a beautiful hue of brown. Now I cant stop wearing these two lip colours together. You can try something like this , try blending in two lip colours with a lip brush on your lips or just apply coats of two or three different lipsticks to create your own unique shade

Use lipsticks like a cream blush

I have just two cream blushes in my vanity and when I wanted to apply a peachy brown blush and ended up using my creamy lipstick as a cream blush. For dry skin cream blushes are best especially in summer to last all day and you can use your lipsticks to make your  own cream blushes. For detailed information on doing this see this video

Try new finishes

I was stuck in a 'love everything matte' phase and hates everything glossy especially on lips.  Infact the number of lip glosses in my collection is super low but it is important to change the finishes for breaking out of a makeup rut. I started topping up my matte lipsticks with a clear gloss for a glossy sheen and it dramatically changed and brightened up my look. After this successful experiment I also went on tried new finishes in eye liners and blushes. Glossy black liner, shimmery blushes, metallic liners all help you change things up a bit easily.

Have fun and experiment crazy:

You really need to enjoy playing with beauty products . Have fun and experiment your heart out with your existing makeup. I went on to try ombre lips with  my existing red and pink lipsticks and the result was pretty amazing. Next I tried two different green liners on my eyes for a dramatic hue and double line effect. I even used Maybelline hyper glossy gold liner like a creamy eyeshadow and it stayed all day long without creasing. When trying such bizarre experiments try sticking to one colour family and also keeping rest of your makeup and accessories simple.
You can even scout the internet or beauty magazines for latest beauty trends and try new makeup techniques like strobing, clown contouring, sandbagging etc. If you still dont use highlighters and bronzers, then start right away as they can change the look  and give you a sculpted face.

More tips to break out of the makeup rut

- The most important part of getting out of a rut is to prepare yourself mentally. Decide and plan your new makeup routine in advance and prepare yourself to move out of your comfort zone.
- Dont go around altering evrything in your beauty routine . Over experimenting will most probably land you in a hot patchy mess. Change one thing at a time and gradually get out of your regular routine.
- Inspire yourself to try new looks and get creative with colour play. For inspiration you can turn to you favourite celebrities, pinterest or even stuff around you. Like try a peacock inspired eye make up look or your ombre anarkali inspired lips.
- For changing thing you dont necessarily have to try new things , you can even try skipping some things from your normal routine. I skipped kohl and it turned out different and by the end of the day I dint even have panda kind of eyes. This proved to be game changer as I relaized kajal isnt really  an essential and I can make do without it. You can also go about skipping eye brow filling, lip pencil or mascara.
- Experimenting with new formulas and textures is also a nice idea to change things up while still playing safe. If you want to wear simple black liner try it in a gel form instead or liquid. Even for blushes and shadows try cream versions in the same clour you like.
- Dont ignore your nails . Go all out and experiment with new shades and finishes. Induge in nail art stickers, glitter paints and metallics.

Your current routine beauty look maybe amazing but that doesn't mean you shouldn't experiment  in fresh ideas. Try these simple tricks and break out of your shell  . Dig out of that makeup rut just like I did. Go now!

Jordana Semi-permanent Liquid Liner Endless Black Review

100_6022

Price: $2.29 (about 150 INR for 4.5ml) (+ international shipping )
Shade Reviewed : Endless Black

This semi-permanent liner from jordana was part of my beauty Joint haul from amazon.com. The liner is Jet black and comes in a cute  black bottle. This has become my HG liner these days all thanks to its highly water Proof formula.

The liner is of great consistency no too runny or too thick, just perfect for a liner and it dries fast after application which is great. It is highly pigmented and one stroke is enough for a jet black line which dries to a shiny finish.

The semi-permanent tag is kind of untrue because this liner will just not smudge or budge until you use a make up remover to remove it.I tried rubbing the swatch off  even with water and it dint just go. You definitely need an oil based makeup remover if you are using this. The liners quality is on par with high end brands and for its price this is a great buy.

100_6021

The only bad thing about this product is that it isnt easily available in India. You will have to order it from international websites and pay heavy shipping.

The brush of the liner is very thin making it ideal for drawing thin lines whereas drawing thick lines can be bit of an issue. This liner is ideal for beginners who struggle with drawing precise lines. People who love matte finish liners will not like this dries to pearly shiny finish which I really love.

100_6024

Yays:
  • Stays put for about 8 hours easily
  • Gives Jet Black Glossy Finish
  • Super waterproof
  • Very Affordable
  • Thin applicator brush making it easy for drawing thin lines
  • Nice travel friendly packaging
Nays:
  • Availability is an issue
  • Requires oil based make up remover to remove off

Rating: ****/5 ( Minus one for availability)

Verdict: This is a fabulous liner, if you get hands on one just grab it. It really is a great buy, trust me. Ive already recommended this to all my friends offline.

Stay beautiful
