Go for Suva Beauty Hydra Liner that is available on Amazon, Flipkart or any other online beauty store. It works well for doing face or body art. It is smudge proof, safe and available in multiple colors. Choose a liquid lipstick to give a good glossy shine to your lips. Or, to keep the focus on the design, go for neutral lip shade. Alternatively, you could draw in any other natural motifs – water, stars, moon or even abstract art.

3. Graphic Eyeliner Look

This is one of our personal favorites from the list of different eye makeup looks. Graphic eyeliner look, as the name denotes, is yet another makeup look that brings out a dramatic effect. This would require a good quality eyeliner and a steady hand. Because, this look essentially requires precision to achieve a perfectly drawn eye design. Besides blending in your artistic skills, you need to ensure the design you draw is sharp and in equal dimension on both the eyes. Wear a nude shade lipstick to keep the focus on the eye makeup. Or, go bold and pair with some red!

4. Watercolor Blush

Another top trend which we came across is the watercolor blush look. Red carpet inspired, this look is all about extending the blush to the temples and blending it with the eyeshadow seamlessly. It gives room for playing with multiple colors. You should know the knack of blending different hues smoothly without going overboard. Choose light shades for giving the watercolor effect.

5. Butterfly Eye Makeup Look

We came across this look, which seems to be quite popular. Here is where you can play with your creativity. The look is not only simple to achieve, but literally eye-catchy.

Choose any of your favorite color of eyeshadow and do your eyes. Spread some of the color outside your eyes as well in a smooth gradient. Then by using white eye liner, draw wings over these areas. Wear nude lipstick and thin eyeliner to finish the look.

If you are fan of multi colors then this look is for you. As the name suggests, you would require a completely color-filled palette to do your eyes. Start by applying a darker shade of green in the middle of your upper eyelid. Next, seamlessly blend in around this area a lighter shade of green, working towards the crease line and on outer corners of the eyes.

Coming to the lower lid of the eyes; start from the inner corner of the eyes with yellow eyeshadow. Go on blending in multiple eye shadows along the water line. Move from warm colors to cooler shades – like orange, pink, purple and blue; eventually blending in with the green shade at the outer corners of the eyes, using upto 4 colors.

Use lots of mascara or/and stick-on eyelashes. Wear a light shade of lipstick so as to keep the focus on the eyes alone. Be particular to choose good quality and skin-friendly eyeshadow. There are many popular brands that have wide range of vibrant color palettes that one can choose from.

7. Lemon It Up

It will be literally what they call, sparkle in the eyes! All you need is circular crystal stickers in different sizes. Such adhesive stone stickers are easily available online shopping stores like Amazon or Flipkart or even in cosmetics stores. As a word of advice: when you are trying on different eye makeup looks, first ensure that you don’t have a sensitive skin and you are not allergic to the stickers.

As you can see, you have to work around the eyes. Start sticking the crystals from the inside corner of the eyes, using smallest ones first. You can use fake eyelashes and stick tiny crystals on them as well. Keep the overall makeup minimal by applying basic foundation and a light glossy lipstick.

11. Chrome Eyeshadow

One of the popular trends of 2020, chrome eyeshadow is touted to be the ‘must try’ look. When trying this eye makeup, ensure that you use a neutral lipstick shade so that the focus is on the eyes. Begin by applying a base eyeshadow, either cream or brown and create a dimension. Then pick up a bright eye shadow and start from the middle of the eyelid. Avoid doing it on the crease. Take the shadow from inner corner of the eye to the outer one.

Then pick a brown shadow on brush and blend it around the chrome color at the outside corner. Choose a darker shade of brown and further do the corners so as to create a shadow effect. See that you blend the layers in a smooth transition. To bring a balance, apply the dark brown shadow on the lower eyelid. Touch up the inner corners of the eyes with silver eyeshadow. Finish the look by applying black eyeliner and mascara.
