Hey everyone, if you\u2019ve been scrolling through TikTok, Instagram Reels, or even just quick beauty runs to the drugstore lately, you\u2019ve probably noticed eyeliner is way more than just the basic black line on your lash line these days. As someone who\u2019s been in the eyeliner game for years\u2014specifically, as part of a team that\u2019s obsessed with crafting liners that actually work (no smudging by lunch, promise)\u2014I\u2019ve tested every single trend that\u2019s popped up this year, and let me tell you, none of the \u201cbasic\u201d winged liner is making the cut right now. This year\u2019s eyeliner trends are all about personality, versatility, and that little \u201cwait, how\u2019d they do that?\u201d vibe\u2014plus, they play nice with every eye shape, so no more crying that a look isn\u2019t for you. Eyeliner<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First up, the one that\u2019s been popping up on every micro-influencer (and my 16-year-old cousin who won\u2019t stop texting me about it) is Negative Space Eyeliner. Wait, let\u2019s be real\u2014last year people tried negative space on eyeshadows, but this year it\u2019s all about letting the skin do the work instead of packing every inch of your lid with pigment. The most viral version? The \u201ctiny wing gap\u201d liner, where you line your outer third of the upper lash line, then leave a small, 2mm-wide gap between the line and your inner corner skin before connecting it. No, you\u2019re not missing a spot\u2014 that gap is the whole point. I\u2019ve been using our waterproof gel liner for this one because it\u2019s precise enough to not bleed into the skin, and it lasts through coffee runs, dance practices, and late-night grocery runs. Pro tip: if you have hooded eyes, keep that gap a little smaller\u2014hooded lids tend to fold, and a big gap might disappear by midday. If you have monolid eyes? Widen that gap a tiny bit and turn the inner liner into a soft, upward slant instead of a straight line\u2014way more flattering. I\u2019ve had so many customers hit us up saying this is the first liner look they\u2019ve pulled off without it looking messy, and honestly? That\u2019s the win.<\/p>\n

Next, let\u2019s talk about \u201cGraphic Lash Line Duos\u201d \u2014 basically, taking a little bit of the 90s grunge liner and mixing it with modern minimalism, but not the overly intricate stuff that takes 20 minutes. This year, it\u2019s two separate lines on your upper lash line: one thin, subtle line close to your lash roots, and a second, thicker line a millimeter above it, only covering the outer half of your eye. No connecting the ends, no weird shapes\u2014just two parallel lines that make your lashes look instantly fuller, even if you skip mascara. I swear by this for busy days because it takes 30 seconds max, and it works on every eye color. For blue eyes, I reach for our deep navy liner instead of black\u2014 it makes those blues pop way more than plain black, and it\u2019s not as harsh as a thick wing. For brown eyes? Our forest green liner is chef\u2019s kiss here, adding a subtle warmth that doesn\u2019t scream \u201ccostume makeup.\u201d The best part? If you mess up the second line, a damp cotton swab fixes it in two seconds\u2014no need to start over. I\u2019ve noticed a lot of people were intimidated by graphic liner before, but this version is so low-stakes, even beginners can nail it.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the trend I didn\u2019t see coming, but now I\u2019m obsesses with: \u201cLower Lash Waterline Accents\u201d \u2014 not the full lower waterline liner that used to make people look like they had panda eyes, but tiny, strategic little dots or dashes along the inner half of your lower waterline. Wait, or sometimes a super thin line right where your lower lashes start, only from the inner corner to the middle of your eye\u2014no outer corner stuff. This is genius for people who hate wearing liner on their upper lids (I have a friend who swears upper liner makes her feel like her eyes are \u201cclosed in,\u201d so this is her go-to). It brightens up tired eyes instantly, and if you use a kajal-style liner that\u2019s gentle on the waterline (hint: that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019ve been formulating for 2 years), it won\u2019t irritate sensitive eyes. I tested this with a customer last week who has super sensitive eyes and wears contacts\u2014she tried our smudge-proof, water-based kajal for the lower dots and said it didn\u2019t burn at all, plus she got 8 hours of wear without any transfer onto her contacts. Pro move if you have small eyes: add a tiny dot on the outer end of your lower waterline too, just to lift the outer corner without making your eyes look overcrowded.<\/p>\n

Oh, and let\u2019s not sleep on \u201cColor Pop Negative Space\u201d \u2014 this is the next level of the negative space trend, where you use a fun, bold color for the liner and leave the rest of the lid bare. This year, it\u2019s not just neon pink (though neon is still around) \u2014 it\u2019s muted, earthy tones like terracotta, mustard yellow, and even soft lavender. The most popular iteration right now is the \u201cdot wing\u201d \u2014 line your inner half of the upper lash line with a neutral, then the outer half with a bright color, and add a tiny colored dot at the end of the wing instead of a full wing. I\u2019ve been pushing our color liners hard for this because a lot of people say colored liner is \u201ctoo hard,\u201d but this is so easy. You don\u2019t have to do a full cat-eye\u2014just a little dot or a tiny line. Last month, we launched our terracotta gel liner, and it sold out in 10 days because it pairs with literally every eyeshadow look, from neutral to bold. If you\u2019re new to colored liner, start with this\u2014 it\u2019s way less scary than a full colored wing.<\/p>\n

Wait, let\u2019s talk about who these trends are for, because I hate when beauty trends act like they\u2019re only for one eye type or age. Last year, a lot of liner trends were so extreme\u2014like that thick, sharp wing that only looks good on people with almond eyes\u2014but this year? It\u2019s all about adaptability. For hooded eyes, the lower waterline dots work way better than upper liner because hooded lids can fold over upper lines. For mature eyes, the tiny wing gap is perfect because it doesn\u2019t drag on the outer corner (which a lot of older people find makes eyes look tired), and the graphic lash line duos add depth without being heavy. For teens? They\u2019re all about the color pop dots\u2014 I saw a 17-year-old at a pop-up I did last week with three tiny neon green dots on her lower line and a terracotta dot on her upper wing, and she looked so cool, like it was intentional (which it was). The point is, there\u2019s no \u201cright\u201d way to do these trends\u2014they\u2019re meant to be played with.<\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s get real for a second\u2014 all these trends are only as good as the liner you use for them. I\u2019ve tried cheap drugstore liners that smudge by 2 PM, or take 5 minutes to dry, and let me tell you, it kills the vibe. That\u2019s why our team spends so much time testing our liners on all eye types, all textures, all makeup levels. We\u2019ve had people say our gel liner works on their hooded eyes, their sensitive eyes, even when they wear mascara over it\u2014no panda eyes, no fading. For the negative space look, you need a liner that\u2019s precise enough to draw a thin, straight line without bleeding into the skin, and quick-drying so you don\u2019t smudge the gap before you\u2019re done. For the lower waterline stuff, you need something gentle that doesn\u2019t cause irritation, and smudge-proof because nobody wants liner all over their cheek by the end of the day. For the color trends, you need liner that\u2019s pigmented enough that one swipe is enough, not three.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had so many conversations with small beauty brands, makeup artists, and even everyday people who want to stock good liners but can\u2019t find a supplier that gets what they need. Most big brands just push the same old black liner and call it a day, but this year, everyone wants to mix it up, and they need liners that let them do that without the hassle. If you\u2019re a beauty retailer, a makeup artist, or someone who wants to get high-quality liners for your brand or your team, let\u2019s chat. We\u2019re not just a supplier\u2014 we\u2019re people who wear liner every day, who test every trend, who know what works and what doesn\u2019t. No generic \u201ccontact us\u201d garbage, no hidden fees, just good, reliable liner that fits the current trends and makes your customers (or you) look and feel good.<\/p>\n

Wait, let\u2019s circle back to why these trends are actually sticking around this year, not just fads. The pandemic made a lot of people go back to basic liner, but now people want to express themselves again\u2014eyeliner is such an easy, low-effort way to do that. You don\u2019t need a full makeup look, just a little liner tweak that makes you feel put-together. Also, social media is all about \u201creal\u201d looks now\u2014no more perfect, airbrushed liner that takes an hour. These trends are quick, they\u2019re messy in the best way, they work for everyday, not just nights out. I\u2019ve worn the tiny wing gap liner to work, to a concert, to a coffee date, and no one has ever asked if I \u201cdid my makeup.\u201d That\u2019s the point\u2014 it\u2019s subtle enough for everyday, but interesting enough to make people do a double-take.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also noticed that a lot of people are moving away from harsh, matte black liner in favor of softer tones\u2014especially for daytime. The forest green, terracotta, and navy liners we sell are flying off the shelves because they add depth without being overwhelming. For anyone who thinks colored liner is too bold, try a soft brown liner first\u2014 it\u2019s like black liner but way warmer, and it looks good on everyone. We did a survey last month, and 78% of our customers said they\u2019re reaching for colored liner at least once a week, up from 32% two years ago. That\u2019s a big shift, and it\u2019s awesome to be part of that.<\/p>\n

Another thing I love about this year\u2019s liner trends: they\u2019re inclusive. No more \u201cif your eye shape isn\u2019t X, this won\u2019t work.\u201d The negative space gap can be adjusted for any eye shape, the graphic duos can be thicker or thinner, the lower dots can be bigger or smaller. I helped a customer with monolid eyes last week who wanted to try the color pop wing, and we adjusted the gap to be a little wider and turned the dot into a tiny line, and she looked amazing. That\u2019s what beauty should be\u2014for everyone, not just a select few.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, eyeliner isn\u2019t just a product\u2014it\u2019s a way to express yourself, a little pick-me-up in the morning, a way to make tired eyes look awake. This year\u2019s trends are all about keeping that core feeling, but adding a little creativity, a little ease, and a lot of personality. Whether you\u2019re sticking to the basic wing, trying a tiny wing gap, adding lower dots, or experimenting with color, there\u2019s a trend for you. And if you\u2019re a retailer, makeup professional, or anyone looking to stock liners that work for these trends, hit us up\u2014we\u2019d love to chat about how we can partner to make great liner accessible for everyone.<\/p>\n
