Maximalism? So hot right now. And one of the more fun and playful ways to get in on the trend is with some colourful eyeliner. Here’s how to get the look and what to shop. 


A lot of our favourite beauty trends right now are all about bold statements – whether it’s monochrome red make-up or blue eyeshadow.

If you want to have a bit more colourful fun with your face, a bright, bold eyeliner can be a great place to start.

Folu Olufemi, expert make-up artist with Nyx Professional Makeup, tells Stylist: “We’re seeing a rise in the popularity of adding a little colour to your make-up routine, and I think one of the reasons wearing a colourful liner is particularly appealing right now is because it’s one of the most approachable ways to explore colour.

“It’s a way to stand out with your make-up without feeling like you’re doing too much. Minimalistically maximalist.”

How to get the look

Olufemi explains: “For day and office-suitable looks, try a gel or pencil liner. Make sure the pencil is sharpened, hold it to its side for more control, and stay close to the lash line to add a very subtle pop of colour.

“For a bolder look, try a liquid liner. If you are a complete beginner with colour, pair it up with your normal black or brown liner. First apply your normal winged liner, then add a small coloured line at the very corner, just under the wing as a small accent.”
