It’s all about playing up your eyes this season — and the simplest way to do so is by recreating the classic eye cat look. Super wearable for both the makeup minimalist and maximalists, this eyeliner look defines your eyes and makes them appear bigger and bolder. Simply increase or decrease the thickness of the wing and liner to personalize this eye makeup look according to your preference.

2. Brushed up brows

Eyebrows are a defining feature, but gone are the days when your brows had to be properly plucked with not a stray hair in sight. This year, the focus is going to be on big, natural brows. To give your brows a more tamed and uniform appearance, brush them upwards using a spoolie and some clear brow gel! Psst… you can also use clear lip gloss if you don’t have a brow gel on hand.
3. Graphic eyeliner

Since it’s all about bigger and bolder eye makeup looks this season, be prepared to see a surge in stunning graphic eyeliner looks everywhere. This is the easiest way to break out of your eyeliner rut and give your eye makeup a completely new spin. But that’s not all. Since this eyeliner trend has no rules, it is the perfect excuse to play around with colours, shapes and designs — the possibilities are endless!
