Some of our best makeup inspo comes from social media, but sometimes it can be hard to find the influencers who perfectly match your vibe. So, if you’re a fan of graphic liner, here are five creators your should keep your eye out for – get ready for some daring liner and bright colours.
@shealeev
If you’re a sucker for colour, you definitely need to be following @shealeev. Her vibrant, inspired designs may be a bit difficult to recreate but are definitely worth the challenge. Boasting almost 100k followers on Instagram and 74k on TikTok, @shealeev has built her way to the top with her colourful creativity.
One of our fave looks by her is this rainbow-star-themed graphic liner. She effortlessly blends each colour onto the next in a perfect line to create an eye-catching look.
As well as playing with colours, she often uses LED lights to complete her look. For example in this neon orange look, she tops the look off with two bright star-shaped LED lights, to create the perfect rave look.
She also created this stunning look, featuring a koi fish swimming around her immaculate cat eye in shimmery silver water.
@meicrosoft
Mei Pang, or @meicrosoft, is a rather experimental beauty guru, occasionally using rollers, string or dental floss (yes, dental floss) to create her looks at the request of her followers. She, too, plays around with colour, shapes and angles to create unique designs that have captured the attention of 2.7 million people on TikTok and 1.9 million on Instagram.
This look is where she used dental floss to create random structures around her eyes, before filling in little details with liquid liner to create a shattered glass effect.
In another TikTok video, she decided to match her makeup to her nails, resulting in this striking look, with stunning blue and silver patterns sprawled across her face.
She also hopped onto the face zoom trend, but while everyone else was focused on the zoom eff ect., our attention was fixated on her makeup. We couldn’t get enough of the stunning grey and baby blue makeup designs that ran along her eyes.
@anastasile
Known mainly for her smooth makeup transition videos, @anastasile has blessed us with many great looks on Instagram and TikTok. Her beautiful looks and incredible transitions have resulted in her gaining 2.6 million followers on TikTok and 1.3 million on Instagram. The Dubai-based MUA has jumped on many trends in the past but still maintained her own unique flair that her followers love.
This transition video has been on a loop for hours now. We’re obsessed with the abstract designs she uses to create this almost alien-like eye shape.
Another fave of ours is this butterfly-inspired look where she perfectly draws the wings of a butterfly onto her eyes. Completed with a few gemstones and pink lipgloss, this look has all of us desperately trying to recreate it.
@glamgio_nyc
@glamgio_nyc is a fun, bubbly personality. She creates bright and colourful graphic liner looks to match her vibrant energy. While handing us makeup inspiration with her every post, her contagious smile makes our day just that little bit better too. Her personality and incredible talent have taken her far, seeing as she now has just over 90k followers on Instagram.
In a video posted to TikTok, she tries on ColourPop’s liquid chrome eyeshadows to create this shimmery look.
While we love a good pep talk, we also can’t get over how good this green and pink liner look is in this TikTok video. The bright pink lip and glittery eyebrows are simply the cherry on top.
She also posted this spectrum look on her Instagram, with one eye done using the colours of the rainbow and the other done with all neutrals.
@alexajdmakeup
Alexa is a fun-loving personality on TikTok. She sometimes comes up with her own looks or creates looks based on emojis people comment. We’re all extremely envious of her steady hand and seemingly endless creativity. This has led to her gaining 1.2 million followers on TikTok and 90k on Instagram.
This first look that we love was inspired by a comment. She effortlessly swiped on a rainbow and freestyle painted a few hibiscus flowers around her lid to create this summery, colourful look.
n another video she randomly chose 3 liners out of her massive collection to use, resulting in this flamboyant pink look.
Another one of our fav looks by her is this pink, purple and red one – a perfect look for a Valentine’s date.
