Gone are the days when eye makeup was restricted to kajal and a thin stroke of eyeliner. With the changing trends, eye makeup has reached a whole new level. And no, we are not just talking about quirky, peculiar colours used to dress your eyes, but also different ways in which you can update your eye makeup game. Thanks to celebrities, makeup artists and beauty bloggers, we get introduced to chicer beauty trends every other day.
We’ve heard of graphic eyeliner and geometric eyeshadow doing the rounds in the past. And, the latest trend to have caught our attention is abstract eye makeup. The best part about this eye makeup trend is that you can get as experimental and artsy as you want, without having to abide by any makeup rules. You can use a single colour or multiple colours at once to create abstract looks on your lids.
If you’re still wondering how to wear this trend like a pro, then you’re in for a treat! We’ve got you covered with some really cool abstract eye makeup looks you’d love to try.
Half-wing shadow play
We just discovered a subtle way of wearing a bright coloured eyeshadow. Give shadow play an abstract twist by just going in with a vibrant hue on the outer corner of your lids. Keep the rest of your lids completely bare!
Cut crease liner
We’ve seen cut-crease eyeshadow make waves in the past. Well, it’s now time to experiment with a cooler eye makeup trend. A cut crease eyeliner can instantly take your eye makeup game a notch up and make you stand out!
Inner corner coloured lids
Let’s admit it! Eyeshadow covering your entire lids can look extra AF. Even if you love wearing eyeshadow, you may think twice before colouring your lids in a bright hue. But, here’s a super alternative you’re going to love. Simply go in with an eyeshadow hue on the inner corner of your upper lids. Define the look with a sleek winged eyeliner, and you’re all set to slay!
Colour-blocking goals
Abstract eye makeup is a treat for makeup maximalists. You can use multiple colours and play with different shapes to make your eye makeup look anything but basic. Here’s another abstract eye makeup look that is sure to make heads turn. An elongated half-winged eyeliner coupled with inner corner highlight on the upper as well as lower lids. Stunning, isn’t it?
