How to Recreate This Electric Graphic Eyeliner Look for Your First Post-Vaccine Outing
May 04, 2021-
STEP 1:
Start With Liner
Line the upper lash line from the inner to outer corners with a black pencil (we love the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro Last Liner Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner) and finish with a small wing. Smudge it out with a flat shader eyeshadow brush and set with a black shadow. “You want to use a kohl pencil for this step because it’s designed to be smudged, so you’ll get a softer, more diffused effect, which will contrast nicely with the sharper blue lines applied in the next steps,” says Babu.

STEP 2:
Add a Swipe of Blue
Apply a blue liner or shadow like the Urban Decay 24/7 Shadow Stick in Chaos from the inner corner up to the center of the lid above the crease. “You want the line to be thicker towards the inner corner and then trail off,” says Babu.

STEP 3:
Make It Pop
Intensify the blue color by adding a shimmery shadow like the Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Charged (a cobalt blue) on top. Use the same shadow to line the lower lash line from the inner corner up to your black wing for a lifted look.

STEP 4:
Add Some Shimmer
Apply a shimmery eyeshadow like Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Space Cowboy in the inner corners of the eyes with your finger.

STEP 5:
Finish With Mascara
To finish, add two coats of a waterproof mascara like the L’Oréal Paris Air Volume Waterproof Mega Mascara on the top lashes only.
