The thrill of a smokey eye, the drama of a cateye, and the richness of a natural eye never grow tired.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But how about cranking those classics up a notch? By adding vivid color to the classic styles, you\u2019ll achieve something entirely new and entirely exciting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of our favorite twists on tried-and-true makeup looks with a colored liner.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>It\u2019s Catnip, Baby!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cateye makeup look has been making waves in the beauty world since Cleopatra debuted it in Ancient Egypt.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Whether thick or thin, the long tail of the cateye looks amazing in a vivid hue, especially royal blue or startling pink. Here are our tips for debuting your own colorful cateye:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean and prep the eye area for a smooth, even base<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a layer of concealer or eyeshadow primer to help the liner adhere<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Draw a short, thin tail from the outer corner of the eye up towards the eyebrow at about a 45 degree angle in your choice of color<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Draw a line along the upper lash line from the inner corner to the outer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Draw another line along the lower lash line\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fill the lash lines to the desired thickness, attaching the tail line to the upper and lower lash lines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep your lines smooth, curved, and matching the natural contour of your lids<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because this look is bold, pair it with clean, well-moisturized skin and just a splash of eyeshadow or mascara<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Smoke Bomb<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone should know how to deploy a perfect smokey eye. Sultry and alluring, the smokey eye is a more forgiving style than the precise cateye.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relying on a little liner and a lot of shadow blending, a colorful smokey eye can be achieved by following these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean and prime the eye area (this is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">always <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a solid start)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply 3 coordinating shades of shadow. We particularly like pink for a funky look.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Light pink &#8211; for the entire lid and brow<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medium pink &#8211; for the crease<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dark brown &#8211; for the lid<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smudge dark eyeliner in a vibrant color along the upper and lower lash lines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If pink isn\u2019t your gig, try one of these combinations:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blue shadow with a navy liner<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gold shadow with an orange liner<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green shadow with a plum liner<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Natural No More<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a natural brown or black liner look is simple and clean, you might try spicing up your basic easy liner technique by substituting a red, purple, blue, or gold liner instead. While the usual eyeliner advice is to choose a color that coordinates with your eye color, if you\u2019re trying for an edgy look, you should contrast your liner to double the impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For green eyes or hazel eyes, line with red or pink<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For blue eyes, line with plum<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For brown eyes, line with red or gold<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For black eyes, line with neons and white<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Wings, Wings, and Even More Wings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re suckers for winged liner.

For a pop of color on top of another line\u00a0 (or all by itself), try a line of colorful dots.
