6 Eye Makeup Trends To Try This Season

Shimmering shadow is enjoying its time (sparkling) in the sun. After many years under the rule of mattes, along with oversized bags and low-rise jeans, sparkles are back. Pastel hues from the Mellow Cosmetics Treasure Chest Eye Shadow Palette will add a dreamy shimmer in one sweep. 

After years of trying and (more often than we’d care to admit) not quite mastering the winged eye, we’re here for this update. While it may look complicated, it’s just a matter of drawing two triangles out from the corner of the eye with an ultra-smooth liner like the cult KVD Beauty Tattoo Liner Liquid Eyeliner. We also love their Tattoo Pencil in black but why not embrace two of the season’s trends at once and try it in a colour too? 

Once only worn for Coachella, gems and glitter have become a new staple for jazzing up an eye. From Dua Lipa to Alexa Demie, everyone’s adding adornment to their look. Apply a few larger individual pieces of glitter with The Glitter Tribe Biodegradable Glitter to give a hint of sparkle or go for a full shimmer sweep across the eye with the ICONIC London Loose Pigment Palette. 

Warm up any winter look with a sweep of brightly coloured eyeliner. If neons aren’t quite your speed, try the trend with metallic jewel-toned shades like Napoleon Perdis Metalslicks Liquid Eyeliner in East Coast Sunset or Eye of Horus Goddess Pencil in Teal Malachite. 

Can’t choose between two shades? This season is all about two-toned shadow, and we don’t mean a blended look. Try a different shade on each eyelid with tonal shades that work together or pops of clashing colour for a bolder take. You’ll find a shade for every mood with the M.A.C Art Library palette.

If any winged look sends you spiralling, try the season’s take on a softer style. A highly blended, winged-out shadow will give your eyes that lifted, dramatic look with an easy-to-master application style. Choose a chocolate shade from the Make Up Forever Artist Color Palette in Ginger to keep it on trend.
