This Multi-Layered Graphic Eyeliner Is Giving Us Outer Space Vibes

Start With Your Liner Skeleton

Using a black liquid liner — our favorite is the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Liquid Liner in Black — outline your multi-layered shape. Start by creating a regular cat eye and extending the wing all the way to the temple of your face. Next, create a round halo starting from your inner corner and connecting it outward to the wing you just created. 

To create the multi-layered lines, draw a parallel line under the halo you just created, from the inner to the outer corner, mimicking the same shape from before. Create another smaller cat eye on your upper lash line and connect it to the parallel halo you just created at your outer corner. Finish with two triangular outlines, one on the upper corner just below your brow bone, and the other on your lower lash line, extending out to your temple underneath your main shape.

Fill In Your Colors

Once your outline is complete, it’s time to fill in the areas with color. Using the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Liquid Liner in Red, fill in the space between the black lines on the upper lash line and outer wing, extending it to about halfway onto your brow bone halo line. Add a touch of red to the triangle on your lower lash line, too.

Next, add a bright pink or lavender pigment of your choosing, (the same formula in Lavender works great for this), and fill in your upper triangle plus the rest of the brow bone halo line.

Finish the Look

Complete this ethereal look with a touch of voluminous mascara — we love the Maybelline New York Volum’ Express Colossal Curl Bounce Mascara, and a blendable, illuminating blush. We used the L’Oréal Paris Glow Paradise Lip + Cheek Tint in Everlasting Coral.
