While we're not running short of eyeliner ideas anytime soon, it's always nice to switch things up every now and then. And while white graphic liner and electric blue floating liners have had their moment, it's time to level up your eye game with green eyeliners. No, you won't look like The Grinch, and yes, this is an extremely wearable look, especially for the monsoon. Green eyeliners for monsoons can transform a dull, drab-looking makeup look into something that'll make everyone go green with envy because it looks so good.
Ready to cut through the grey skies and make a statement? Here are a few non-intimidating green eyeliner looks even a beginner can pull off and the best products to get each look.
01. Kohl-rimmed greens

Not a fan of OTT looks, but still want to hop onto the green eyeliner bandwagon? May we suggest rimming your eyes with green kohl instead? You'll be making a minimal yet playful statement that's sure to turn a few heads — and you'll look good while doing it. The Lakmé Absolute Kohl Ultimate The Gelato Collection - 07 Matcha is perfect for this since it's vibrant kohl that'll stand out on gloomy monsoon days. Additionally, since it's smudge-proof and water-resistant, it won't smear, fade, or transfer no matter what the weather. An added bonus is that it contains moisturising ceramides that hydrate your skin and sit comfortably on your eyes. We love to see it!
02. OG cat eyes

The Lakmé Insta Eye Liner - Green is always a trusty option to have since it will give a fine definition to your eyes. Its lightweight formula coupled with its water-resistant properties makes it the perfect monsoon buy. Also, it's not going to budge, and well, the colour payoff speaks for itself!

The general rule for 2021 seems to be going dramatic with eyeliners, so why should green eyeliners for monsoon be any different? Accomplish this striking yet subtle look with the Lakmé Absolute Shine Line Eye Liner - Sparkling Olive. It will give you an on-fleek eyeliner look thanks to its pigmented formula and will make it super easy for you to do the double floating lines since it has a wand that offers effortless application. Its high-shine formula will stay on for long hours — so you don't have to worry about it coming off due to the rain and humidity — and it'll make just the statement you were looking for!
