Graphic Eyeliner Makeup Ideas for Summer

If you haven’t heard about the graphic eyeliner makeup trend, you’re truly missing out on the best of summer makeup in 2020. Some artists call it the “floating crease” while others refer to it as simply a bold line of eyeliner – it can be interpreted in tons of creative ways, which is why we adore it. The look is often modern, fresh and minimal; it was used frequently in the HBO show Euphoria starring Zendaya.

It’s a beautiful alternative to heavily blended looks and layered colors – just draw a line between your lash line and your brow. So much of Instagram is people being extra with their makeup looks, and this look lets you maintain a neutral look while still playing with little pops of colors.

1. We love this experimentation with sparkling shadow on the outer corners and crease. It’s appropriate for a party, a dinner, or a date. It’s a version of the 1980s glam without taking over your entire face.

2. Slime green eyeshadow isn’t often a popular look – can anyone besides Cardi B pull that style off? The answer is yes, wit the right graphic eyeliner cut crease.. Play with the length of your tail on this neon look, which is perfect for a range of skin tones.

3. We’re obsessed with this floating crease version of a cat eye. It looks less dated and more contemporary, with detailed feathering and bold mascara pairing. That line detailing inside might take some practice, but you can always swap it for a smudge detail instead.

4. We love this bald-headed queen and her blending skills, which have inspired us for the rest of the season. Blended out your crease with matching eyeshadow for a diffused effect that will make you look like a real-life angel.
