Two Is Better Than One: Glitter Eyeshadow And Graphic Eyeliner Are The OTT Trend We All Love
When we merge two of the season’s biggest makeup trends— glitter & graphic eyeliner, we get something that is outrageous and fabulous at the same time. If you're super extra (just like us) then this glitter graphic eye look is something you have to try. Glitter has been making rounds since 2017 and graphic eyeliner is the hottest trend seen on the runways of 2019.
Glitter is definitely the quickest way to glam things up. You can take your pick from a whole range of colours and textures that complement your style. There’s fine glitter, chunky glitter, paillettes, and everything in between. And if that's not enough bling for you- you can take it up a notch higher by adding rhinestones and crystals. Wearing your cat eyeliner with a ton of glitter and you know you're ready to make a statement.
If you are just starting out, or are looking to tone down the look, wear your cat eyeliner with a dash of glitter on the inner or outer corners of the eye. This will make your eyes pop. It is important to keep the rest of your makeup subtle or minimal as this bold eye look packs a lot of punch.
For graphic cat eyes, liquid eyeliner is a must as it helps you achieve a clean finish and offers the kind of precision required for a graphic liner. Stay Defined is perfect as it is smudge-proof and gives great pay off without fading or flaking. It comes with a special wand that gives you more control and definition. Before drawing on your liner, apply primer to create a smooth base. Once you have traced the design, you can use the Jet Set Eyes Kajal-Eyeliner to fill in and create a darker and opaque look. For those with unsteady hands, who have a tough time drawing a straight line with their eyeliner, we would totally recommend the Wheelie Precision Eyeliner & Stylist. It has a rolling disc applicator that gives a straight line in one smooth stroke.
You can use loose glitter or foil eyeshadows to get the sparkling effect. The Manish Malhotra eyeshadow collection has foil eyeshadows that are high on shine with a plush texture and can be used wet or dry to control the intensity. Try the gold foil from the Rendezvous palette or the copper foil from the Soiree palette, the two hottest colours for the Indian skin tone.
