If you are sick of wonky, not matching, or too thick eyeliner, this new trend is perfect for emphasising your eyes.
Have you ever heard of transparent eyeliner? If not, this must change now. This new eyeliner trend is going viral on TikTok and Instagram now. This minimalistic summer makeup is to die for and perfect for every no-makeup makeup lover or those struggling with regular eyeliner.
Like the name says, transparent eyeliner is a minimal eye makeup look that is barely noticeable. But if done right, it exenterates your eyes and gives you ab beautiful cat-eye look. The TikTok makeup creator @maytahmi came up with this concept. In her TikTok, she shows how to achieve the look. If you don’t have darker eyelids, you should apply some eyeshadow, so the transparent eyeliner will be visible. You should use an eyeshadow slightly darker than your skin colour as a guide. Blend that well so you don’t leave any visible lines.
Then the fun part starts. You need a small, flat concealer brush to recreate this eyeliner look. Apply concealer to your brush – go for the lightest concealer shade – and draw a line from the outer corner of your eye upwards to your eyebrow. Just as if you are applying regular eyeliner. Then you draw a second line, which connects your eyelid with the outer corner of your first line – this should look like a triangle. Now the only thing left to do is blend the lines outwards, leaving the triangle in the middle blank. Unlike black winged eyeliner, we don’t fill in the gap. And voila! You are blessed with a natural eyeliner look.
