It’s a huge trend that’s made its way to runways and red carpets all over the world, but when coloured eyeliner is done wrong, it can leave you looking like the victim of a crayon-wielding toddler. Fear not! We’ve compiled four tips to help you ace the trend.

With makeup, it’s always important to remember to accentuate one feature at a time. This is a bright trend, so go easy on the blush and try a nude lipstick to make sure that the focus in on your eyes.
2 Don’t forget your outfit
Just as you wouldn’t want your dress to clash with your lipstick, the same goes for your coloured liner. Go for a liner shade that complements what you’re wearing, for a cohesive and sophisticated look.
3 Match with your skin
As a general rule, blues and greens look good on lighter skin tones, while reds and pinks suit darker complexions. Metallics, like silver and gold, look great on everyone.
4 Wear it with confidence
You can pull off just about anything if you have the right attitude (think J Lo in that green Versace dress). So do your best Naomi Campbell walk and show off your colourful look.
