These eye makeup trends will take your masked-makeup game to another level
After quite literally an eternity of staying indoors and quarantined skincare, and minimal makeup days, summer 2021 promises a much-needed return to bold, fun makeup. There’s nothing like warmer weather to make you want to go out and look your best. We spoke to top makeup experts and influencers, who shared their top eye makeup trends for this summer’s makeup glam. The warmer months call for light-weight, colorful, and non-boring makeup looks that won't melt away.
Along with statement lips, pastel eyes and bold brows are poised to be some of the most popular makeup trends this summer. In the spirit of optimism and looking forward to warmer, brighter days, below is your expert guide to this summer’s hottest trends. From '90s glam to vibrant neon eyeshadows to shimmer, shimmer, and more shimmer, read on for your dose of summer 2021 eye makeup inspo.
Graphic Eyeliner
Take a cue from this look below and lean into the graphic eyeliner trend by drawing a clean line just above the crease of your eye, then connect it to your wing. Reach for a fine-tip gel eyeliner with a creamy formula that will glide on smoothly without smudging. If you mess up your line? Simply dip a Q-tip into some makeup remover and clean up the edges. Since the normalization of face masks last spring, it's been all about the eyes.
Golden-hour eyes
This summer will be all about glowing, dewy sun-kissed skin with warm shades around the eyes. Makeup is all about highlighting the eyes and giving freshness to the face. To achieve the golden-hour look. That hazy hour before the sun sets isn't just Instagram-worthy, the color scheme is the perfect eye makeup palette. Just look at Andra Day's gilded eyeshadow with hints of burgundy from the 2021 Oscars.
Brushed Up eyebrows
Brow trends come and go, but one thing's for sure – it's important to frame the windows to our souls with a beautiful brow. After months of wearing masks, our brows have been our most important feature for conveying emotion. A harsh/strong brow could hinder communication and leave a lot lost in translation. Soft, feathery, natural-looking brows have taken the main stage, and the feather brow is here to stay.
Bright eyeshadow
As the temperature rises, eyeshadow looks will only get brighter and more elaborate. Amp up your look this season with a statement-making eye look. Incorporate a pop of color in unexpected ways, as Summer is the best time to experiment with bright colors. Neon shadows like lime green will be this season's hero look – it's all about saying wow with your eyes.
Brown Cat-eye
Intense brown-lined eyeliners will be very on-trend. You will see smokey eyes in bright vibrant shades as well as an eyeliner that is graphic, playful, and interesting in shapes and in bold colors. For summer it’s a good time to switch up your black liner and get out of your box. Whether you’re used to black, or grey, summer 2021 is the time to try out browns.
