For bright and creative: the best colored eyeliners

Summer is the best time for new experiments in makeup. Of course, black eyeliner is always a great choice, but colored eyeliner will make your look brighter and more interesting.

The fact that the trend for the use of bright eyeliner continues to steadily gain momentum, we are convinced by Instagram feeds every day. Over the past year, many celebrities, beauty bloggers and, of course, star make-up artists, from Patrick Ta to Pat McGrath, have managed to try the bold trend on themselves.

We also saw a lot of inspiration for bold eye makeup at New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2021. Colorful pigments in whimsical lines, abstract shapes and beautiful floral patterns adorned the eyes and cheeks of models at Chromat, Eckhaus Latta and Collina Strada.

If you also like the trend for colored arrows or want to try them for the first time, liquid eyeliner or eyeliner is indispensable. If the first tool requires a certain manual dexterity and is more suitable for experienced make-up artists, then even a beginner can handle the second one. We have collected ten of the best options for all occasions in this collection.

Haus Labs, Eye-Dentify Gel Pencil Eyeliner

Haus Labs soft gel eyeliner in Royale gold will appeal to lovers of matte textures with a metallic effect. Use it to create spectacular sweeping arrows in combination with other bright shades – Empire (shimmering emerald green), Priscilla (pastel blue) or Aura (matte white).

Fenty Beauty, Flypencil Longwear Pencil Eyeliner 

The Fenty Beauty Flypencil eyeliner is perfect for creating trendy retro 60s-inspired eyeliners that are trendy again.
