81 Graphic Eyeliner
Oversized Eyelashes Super long lashes are at the top of the list of trends to follow next winter. Put false lashes on the lower lids, slightlyspaced out for a touch of Twiggy style. While minimalism still reigned on many of the catwalks, a delightful lash maximalism took hold at MSGM, Emilio Pucci and Chanel - think doll-like, boldly-coloured and Sixties-inspired styles respectively. “Mascara and lashes are now being used in an ornamental way, to give the eye an edgy feel that is full of attitude: Telling a story of where this woman has been and what she has done,” says M.A.C makeup artist Gordon Espinet.
Whether it’s a rectangle or semicircle, eye liner has gone up a level this season and is now worn high on the upper eyelid – a minimalist detail for maximal enhancement. The same can be said for the cut crease. Makeup artists and bloggers have hit the refresh button on this eye look, which traditionally embodied the heavy, dramatic look of the ‘60s. To the contrary, the iterations sweeping the ‘gram right now are fresh, modern, and wonderfully minimal. Makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes calls the look “The Floating Crease” and wears it often. “It’s this graphic, Twiggy-like line between your lash line and brow,” she explains. “It’s different from a cut crease in the way that it’s graphic and simple, rather than heavily blended and layered.”
