As if doing winged liner wasn’t hard enough, now there’s such a thing as graphic eyeliner. If you thought doing your normal eyeliner was tricky then you’re probably thinking ‘oh hell no’ when it comes to graphic liner.
But, have no fear! I’ve got some simple, but effective, graphic liner looks that are sure to make your eyes pop.

First you’ll need to pick your favourite type of eyeliner. There’s gels, liquids or ink pens. Pick your favourite and you can get started.
The Extreme Cat Eye
This is the perfect eyeliner look for anyone who wants to get that extreme cat eye effect. It might look a little tricky, but with a steady hand and some makeup remover near by it can be easily done.
Start off by doing you normal winged eyeliner. You can make this as thick or thin as you like. Once that is complete, you can start on the inner corner. Extend the eyeliner from the corner of your inner eye, following the natural shape of your eyelid downwards. Make this liner as long or short as you want. Once that is done, connect it to your lower lash line.
The Extra Bold
This eyeliner is great for people who have a mono eyelid, or don’t have deep-set eyes. If you do have deeper-set eyes then you might find that this eyeliner look transfers. If so, use a eye primer.
This look is another simple one. The tricky part is getting the eyeliner to match on both eyes.There are two ways to do this eye look. The first is to create your usual winged eyeliner and slowly build the eyeliner thicker and thicker. The other way (my preferred way) is to draw the outline of the eyeliner shape first, then fill it in.
The Double Wing
Lastly we have the double winged eyeliner look. This is a really great way to elongate your eye to make it appear slimmer and almond-like.
Like both the other eyeliner looks, start off with your normal winged eyeliner. Next, draw a small line or wing parallel. Make sure they’re close together but not touching. Connect the bottom wing with your bottom lash line, and smudge a black pencil or eye shadow along your lashes to even out the look.
And that’s it! Three simple but effective graphic eyeliner looks.
