Step by step - Graphic Eyes

In this step by step guide we’re going to show you how to achieve the graphic eyeliner look seen on catwalks allover the world in a fun modern and wearable manner.


1 
THE FIRST LINE

Get yourself a liquid eyeliner with a fine but firm tip. Start by drawing a line from the middle of the eye to the outer corner. Next, look up sideways and draw a fine line on the inner corner of the eye. 

 





2 
GET THE SHAPE RIGHT

To get the shape right, look straight into a mirror and put a small dot where you want your eyeliner to end (measure this by checking where the lower lash-line meets the top lash line and from there draw a line upwards.) Also put a dot where you want your creative liner to end in the socket of the eye. This should be slightly above your socket line.

 



3 
JOIN THE DOTS

Draw the line to join the dots and make the liner a bit thicker in the outer corner. (Tip: clean up with a cotton bud if you make a mistake.)

 





4 
FUNK IT UP

Choose a second colour, like blue, and trace inside your black liner to create a double coloured line, and finish off the look with mascara.


And there you have it, and edgy but wearable graphic eye look.
