2. Focus on the outer corner
A little lilac goes a long way, especially if you concentrate the color on the outer corner and deepen it with a touch of black. Here, Denitsa uses a white pencil underneath the color to give it even more intensity.
3. Go soft with a lavender lid
For a subtle wash of color, opt for a pale lavender with a satin finish. Deepen the outer corners slightly, and finish with mascara for a come-hither look. To keep this look understated, skip the liner and tightline instead. Get the full tutorial here.
4. Give metallic liner a try
Go all out on the purple trend with a graphic purple metallic eyeliner. Add (optional) rhinestones for that extra wow factor.
