What you'll need: warm-toned eyeshadow trio, brown kohl pencil, blending brush.

Grunge Smoke
Charcoal liner smudged under and along the lash line, deliberately imperfect — the messier the better.
- Line both the upper and lower lash lines generously with charcoal pencil.
- Smudge everything with a pencil brush before it sets — don't aim for clean edges.
- Dust grey shadow over the smudged pencil to soften it further.
- Skip mascara on the lower lashes for an undone finish.

Double Wing Fox Eye
Two sharp, stacked wings that lift the outer corner — the look built for a slow-motion hair flip.

- Draw the first wing from the lash line to that dot, then fill it in.
- Draw a second, slightly shorter wing just beneath the first for a stacked effect.
- Tightline between the lashes to blur any gap between liner and lash line.
What you'll need: fine-tip liquid liner, brow pencil for the guide dot.
Monochrome Wash
One shade, pressed across the whole lid and blended into the lash line — the fastest trending look right now.
- Pick one cream or powder shadow in any tone that flatters your eye color.
- Press it across the entire lid up to the brow bone with your finger or a flat brush.
- Use the same shade, slightly damp, as a soft liner along the lash line.
- Apply mascara and stop there.
What you'll need: one cream or powder shadow, no more.
Glitter Gradient
Glitter concentrated along the lash line, fading up into a matte base — built for one very good night.
- Blend a matte black-grey shadow through the crease as your base.
- Apply glitter glue along the lash line only, staying close to the roots.
- Press loose glitter into the glue with a flat brush, building it up from the lash line.
- Clean any fallout with tape or a dry wipe before applying mascara.
What you'll need: matte grey shadow, glitter glue, fine cosmetic glitter.
