If you’re going for the minimal glow-up for spring, we won’t get in your way. But just so you know, all the influencers are getting more adventurous and creative with their makeup this season. And we’re zeroing in on one trend in particular: fierce, colorful, out-of-the-box eyeliner.
We are all familiar with the colored eyeliner trend, but if you’re looking for some runway-approved looks, you actually have to dig deeper. The key is to try everything — nothing is too funky, bold or weird — and see what works. From rainbow lids to abstract wearable liner art, we have got some major eyeliner inspiration for you.

Retro Vibes
If you're going for an old school cat eye, play up your lids with some accents that pop. Maybe some shimmery highlights, metallic bronzers or even a clear gel shadow.

Just Stack 'Em
Stacked liners have been here since the 70s, but the approach needs more of our attention. You can go with a simple tone-on-tone look with just three panels, or go for a broader lid coverage. Make sure to define your lashes for this one.

Mismatched
Matching liners is so 2017; if you're going for the mismatched neon look, pick right. The hot orange and yellow liner has an edgy, paneled vibe.
