1.Blue eye makeup

This particular eye makeup has less to do with technique and style and more to do with colour. Whether it is a blue liner or blue smokey eye, it is the festive shade that has everyone scrambling to add this colour to their eyes. We personally love the blue liner look which is super easy to wear while still looking chic day and night.

Highlight the inner corner of your eye and add a medium-shade base preferably of pink or purple so that it complements the blue. Then take the Lakme Absolute Explore Eye Pencil in Darling Blue and line your upper and lower lash line. While it is smudge-free and works like a liquid liner, its creamy texture allows you to smudge it up on your lower lash with a brush before it dries.

2. Graphic liner

Graphic eyeliner rose with the Y2K trends and looks like it is here to stay. And the best part is that even if you make a mistake, it will look like it is part of the design. You can go for the floating line on the crease or reverse cat eye, whatever floats your boat.

One of the easiest graphic liner ideas is to draw on your usual liner on your lash line with the Lakme Eyeconic Liquid Eyeliner . With a flexible and sturdy brush, this transfer-proof liner dries almost immediately allowing you to experiment with your liner. Add a thin flick at the end for a slight wing. Then on your crease, follow parallelly and draw another line. This particular look adds dimension to monolid and hooded eyes as it gives the illusion of a crease.

3. Siren eyes

Another trend that erupted from the TikTok chaos is the siren eye makeup which is oh-so-glamorous for a party, understated for a work look and easy to wear. And all you need is your trusty kajal and a brush.

With the idea to accentuate your gaze and give a sultry feel, all you need to do is line your eyes with kajal, the lash lines as well as your waterlines on the top and bottom. Draw it out at the outer corner to create a thin wing. Then take a brush and smudge out the wing.

4. Nude makeup with falsies

This year’s fashion weeks and your favourite influencers have been favouring huge dramatic lashes over the usual eyeshadow. Fluffy and curled lashes anyway hide your eyelids, so simply go for a nude base and let your lashes do all the talking. False eyelashes that flare up at the outer corner but are shorter at the inner corner give a more natural illusion while not taking away from the glamour of your look.

5.Rhinestone eyes

Even if you haven’t seen the HBO show ‘Euphoria’, you must have spotted Maddy or Jules’ rhinestoned eyes and graphic eyeliners on your Instagram. It has now emerged from the silver screen as a makeup trend that people are trying in their daily life, so why don’t you? You can either get stick-on rhinestones or play around with loose crystals. But if you are not sure how to go about it, you can never go wrong with the classic rhinestone eyeliner as you simply add rhinestones where you would otherwise put your liner.

6. A single pop of colour

The monochrome trend has really made it easy for those of us who are ever so indecisive. Are you not sure what colour lipstick or blush to compliment your look or what jewellery will go with it? Just wear the same colour all over. And that also goes for your eye makeup as well.

All you need to do is take a nice bright shade like the champagne from the Lakme 9 to 5 Eye Color Quartet – Desert Rose and apply it all over your eyelid. It is extremely vibrant making sure that your eyes shimmer with just one swipe of the product.

7. Grunge kajal

Lazy girls, it is our time to shine! Or are you a makeup newbie who still hasn’t figured out how to blend or draw on winged eyeliner? Well, you too can now look glamorous with this grunge look. All you need is a waterproof kajal.

We love the Lakme Eyeconic Kajal as it doesn’t budge one bit after you apply it. Go to town with it and apply it around your eyes. There is no right or wrong way, a motto of the grunge fashion scene back in the day. And it lasts all day long so you don’t have to worry about it turning patchy by the end of your night.

8. Glittery smokey eye

Who doesn’t love glitter during the festive season? One of the easiest ways to jazz up your look, you can take it one step further and create a glittery smokey eye, perfect for the new year countdown parties. The Lakme Absolute Explore Liquid Eye Shadow Duos – Blackstar Gold-Karat Gold has the perfect balance of matte and glitter to create a smokey eye easily.

This lightweight liquid eye shadow is also buildable which means you can keep it light for a day look or go all out with a dark smokey look for a night out. And the best part is that it quickly dries so you don’t have to worry about it creasing or smudging up. Apply the lighter shade all over your eyelid. Then take the darker brown shade and apply it to the outer corner of your eye. Yep, that’s it!

9. Classic cat eye

We have no idea why so many of these trends are a blast from the past but we are not complaining. The classic cat eye look is the thick winged eyeliner that was all the rage in the 60s and the 70s and is the perfect example of less is more. Remember those days when you tried to match both your wings and ended up with panda eyes? Bring that energy back and simply draw on a thick line that ends with a thick wing that almost reaches the tip of your eyebrows.
