Since the coronavirus outbreak we have been focusing more on eye makeup compared to the rest of our faces, thanks to the necessity of face masks. Though Covid-19 continues to impact our lives in general, things are getting a little better with the vaccinations underway. However, it seems that our face coverings are going to remain an important part of our lives for a wee bit longer. So, there’s nothing better than getting in on the latest beauty trends than with fun and bold eye makeup looks and letting the only feature visible do the talking.

Want to get your dose of eye makeup inspiration? We have you covered. From vibrant neon shades to shimmery lids and much more, here’s a roundup of five very eye-catching eye-makeup trends.

Glittery accents

Need a little mood-booster? Add a little sparkle to your lids. You can easily transform your routine eye makeup by swiping on some glitter and letting your eyes dazzle. There are different kinds of glitter eyeshades such as subtle twinkles, powders and creams. If you think that is too bold of a look, don’t paint your entire eyelid with a glittery shadow, instead opt for a chunky, glittery eyeliner. Moreover, you can apply sparkly eyeliner above your black liner if you want to make your eyes pop.

‘90s matte trend

The ’90s were all about matte makeup and this season matte eye shades are trending big time. Apply an earthy tone or nude matte shadow all over your eyes and finish it with a dramatic winged eye liner and lots of volumizing mascara. Make sure to brush up your brows, and add a subtle hint of shimmer on the inner corner of your eyes to give it that 2021 twist.

Let’s go neon

This season our eyes are getting a lot of attention, so why not help them make a statement? Going for a neon liner can transform your look in no time. Florescent hues bring more focus to your eyes, turning up the sultriness. Don’t be afraid to get creative with neon liners and allow your eyes to really pop. You can even go for a graphic liner instead of applying a neon liner all over your lid. Another way to incorporate this trend is to apply traditional black winged eyeliner and then dab a neon shadow onto the inner corners of your eyes. It will pack just the right amount of a punch you need. If you are going for a night out with friends and are bold enough to sport a florescent eye shadow, make sure to get creative.

Floating eyeliner

You must have seen this trend on various international fashion runways and on Instagram, and one thing is for sure: the floating eyeliner is here to stay. What’s great about this trend is that it is way easier than it looks and you can be as experimental as you like. One of the simplest ways to achieve this look is to just swipe on the eye liner in your favourite shade just below your brow and apply mascara for fluttery lashes.

Soft smokey eyes

Are you someone who steers clear from radical trends? You can always go for a soft, subtle, smokey eye. Beauty experts suggest that this trend can lift and open up any eye shape and is especially great for those with puffy lids. So this season go ahead and opt for warm terracotta smokey eye. It’s not only pretty but also quite easy to pull off. All you have to do is a get a liquid shadow and smudge it around your top and bottom lash lines with the help of your finger. The best part about this colour is that it works perfectly to create depth, without being too overpowering. Remember, blending is key if you want to create a stunning look.
