Banana Eyeliner Is Making a Comeback, Here’s How to Get in on the Trend

Apply Your Base

Prime and Set

To ensure the banana eyeliner look stays locked in place and gives the best possible color payoff, set your eyelids with a primer, like the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Once the primer dries, Delgado suggests dipping a packing eyeshadow brush into Gadget, a matte peach color in the Urban Decay Naked Cyber Palette, and packing it onto your eyelids. 

Go Bananas

Using the IT Cosmetics Superhero No Tug Eyeshadow Stick in shade Tenacious Tawny, Delgado recommends drawing a curvy banana-shaped line just above your crease. “Make sure the line is high enough so that you can see it when you open your eyes,” says Delgado. 

Add Dimension

Using a small angled brush, rub it on the top of the eyeshadow stick to pick up the ashy brown pigment. Then, with a thin brush, line your inner corner. “This elongates your eyes and gives them a cat-like appearance,” says Delgado. Then, finish off the eyes with a lot of mascara on both the upper and lower lashes.

Pucker Up

Since the banana eyeliner makes a statement on its own, Delgado suggests balancing out the look with a sheer, plump lip. Pucker up and apply the NYX Professional Makeup This is Juice Gloss in Coconut Chill to your lips for a glossy, juicy finish.
