Floral eyeliner: Instagram is going crazy over this new beauty trend

Fun, cheery and lighthearted, floral eyeliner is this season’s coolest trend. Here is a quick guide to master the look.

Social media is going gaga over a new make-up trend that’s just summer-perfect. If you have been thinking of indulging in a bit of floral fun this season, how about trying floral eyeliners? They are quirky, kitschy and full of pop. Here’s what you will need: Bright coloured liquid eyeliners, some scotch tape (to set the angle for a winged liner), an angled eyeliner brush and dotting tools to create a professional look.

Whether it is a sleek line of perfectly aligned petals along the eyelid or a bunch of colourful flowers, there’s so much to explore when it comes to floral eyeliners.

The best part? You can let your creative juices flow and try as many variations as you want! From a minimal floral string along the eye-lid to bouquets of flowers ending up in a wing, there’s just so much to play around with. You can also embellish the make-up with stick-on bindis along the lash to adorn your eye garden with some jazz. But remember to keep your make-up light because floral liners create a strong statement. A layer of light foundation, blush-on in red or peach, and a pastel lipstick are enough to complete the look.

Throw in some pastel shades to achieve a summer-ready look.

This is one of the simplest and most basic DIY for a beginner. You can try different looks with bold wine, dramatic electric blue and flaming reds. Some tutorial videos will come in handy.

Apply a thin liner along the insides of the upper eyelid. Prep the eyelid with a primer and apply a neutral eye shadow. Pick out liquid eyeliners in interesting shades of green, orange, yellows and pink. Turn your fist into a palette and dab smudges of liners. Now, using dotting tools, create dots along the eyelid in a floral arrangement. Finish off with a single coat of mascara.
