Makeup enthusiasts, take note: the latest eyeliner trends for 2024 are here, offering fresh ways to elevate your eye makeup game. Whether you’re drawn to the boldness of graphic lines at Eckhaus Latta, the retro-inspired Maria Calas look at Erdem, the metallics accents at Chanel or the softer hues of Elie Saab , there’s something for everyone. Here’s a look at the top five eyeliner styles to experiment with this year.
1. Get Graphic
Ditch the traditional for something more daring with graphic geometric eyeliner, some call it floating eyeliner. This style makes a statement with its bold lines and shapes, particularly when using a crisp liquid eyeliner pen. Try a double liner look by adding a pop of contrasting color like white or blue for an even more striking effect. Don’t miss Paloma Elsesser’s at Eckhaus Latta giving a butterfly wing effect enhancing her cheekbones. As seen at: Eckhaus Latta, Jil Sander, Mugler, LaQuan Smith and Balenciaga.

2. Colour Pop
Blue, Green and Even purple eyeliners can make your eyes pop no matter your natural eye colour, creating a captivating contrast. Experiment with different shades of blue, green, yellow or blush from the top lash line to the bottom for a dynamic look. A gel pencil allows for easy blending, offering both matte and metallic finishes. No coloured eyeliner? Substitute with eyeshadow. Check the look at Armani Privé below or the sky blue line at Mugler for inspiration.

3. Metallica
Metallic eyeliner suits every skin tone, adding a touch of glamour. From classic gold and silver to vibrant green, metallics can instantly elevate your look, providing a flattering highlight to any eye color.It doesn’t have to be hardcore metallic either, at Stella MacCartney and Zimmernan it was subtle, with a look softly framing the eye. As seen at: Chanel, Valentino, Elie Saab, Stella McCartney, Zimmerman.

4. Not So Basic Brown
For those seeking a more natural look, brown eyeliner is the perfect choice. It’s less intense than black, ideal for everyday wear or a soft, smokey eye. Opt for a gel pencil with a smudge tool for a seamlessly blended finish that lasts. In some instances you can add drama by using brown as a base and enhancing the eye with black on top. Ther is virtually no wrong way to wear it.

5. The Cat’s Meow
The kitten eyeliner is a gentler take on the dramatic cat eye, offering a subtle flick at the end of the upper lash line. You can opt for a retro vibe as seen at Georges Hobeika or Erdem this fall 2024. This style suits all eye shapes and is particularly flattering on upturned eyes. A fine-tip liquid liner can help achieve this delicate look, enhancing your natural eye shape and lash thickness. As seen at: Erdem, Georges Hobeika
