Hot Eyeliner Trends for Fall
Eyeliner is back for fall. Think Amy Winehouse and you get the idea. You need to lay it on thick in a freehand way so that you look very wanton, seductive and retro in appearance. This concept is very eighties and looks fantastic with the bright copper and darker blue and black eye shadow colors that are now in fashion as well.
On the runways of Prada, Louis Vuitton and Dior the eyes had a very strong razor sharp flick to the end of the eyes to look cat like. The eyeliner was very thick lined and false eyelashes were individually attached to the outside corners of the eyes to elongate them and make them look more exotic. Many companies including Revlon make false eyelashes that you can glue on individually or you can take existing false eyelash fronds and cut them in half and glue them onto one part of your eye.
On the Versace runway this fall eyeliner is used like calligraphy in small dashes, dots and lines to make the eyes look larger and more alive. It also makes the eyes look bigger. A thick cream liner like Shiseido’s Accentuating Cream Liner. Eva Longoria and Penelope Cruz often wear eyeliner in this style.
Another look is the Glam Punk effect. This is where the eyeliner is worn carelessly like it has been slept in. The line on the upper lid is very thick but there is no eyeliner at all on the bottom lid.
Another big trend that was surprising is that for white eyeliner. This was often worn in conjunction with thick black liner. This is such a popular trend that many brands are making a double version of it with the black color on one end of the pencil and the white on the other. An example is the Bourjois 21-in-1 Noir & Blanc Eye Pencile which costs about twelve bucks. A cheaper version of this double ended pencil is made by Rimmel and it is only about three bucks in most drugstores. This means that you can try out this trend for white liner without feeling the pinch in your pocket book.
Another trend is to wear bold blue eyeliners. The reason these are popular is because they are supposed to make your teeth and the whites of your eyes look even whiter. The darker blue the color the better rested you are supposed to look when you wear it.
The best eyeliners on the market for attempting these looks are Revlon Bedroom Eyes, Prescriptive Lucky Stroke, Chanel Ligne Extreme and Clarins Eyeliner. If you like something that is a bit more like a pencil then you will like Bobbi Brown’s Gel Liner. You will like it whether you are trying to look like Brigitte Bardot or Amy Winehouse.
