From classic chic to all-out drama, eyeliner can transform your entire look with a few strategic flicks. As image consultant Greeshma Thampi points out, changing the shape of your eyeliner can also alter the appearance of your eyes, as per the placement of the wing. She demonstrates how you can work three of this year’s hottest eyeliner trends.

The classic cat eye
The cat eye is a classic winged shape that makes your eyes look wider and adds volume to your lashes. “The benefit of a cat eye is that it enhances the shape of your eye without the use of eye shadow. It also helps to lift your eyes, especially if you have a rounder face shape,” Thampi explains. She recommends pairing your cat eyes with a red lip for a look that oozes vintage sophistication. To know where your wing should lie, place a make-up brush against the side of your nose and point it towards the end of your eyebrow. Use this as a guide to place your wing. If you aren’t confident about your liquid eyeliner skills, you could try using a pencil first and going over this with a liquid liner.
