4. TWO-TONED EYELINER

Two-toned eyeshadow has become a makeup staple, and you can marry the trend with your purple eyeliner looks. This is a great way to give your eyes a glorious pop without the need for any eyeshadow. To get the look, simply line your upper lash line with purple, then follow up with the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof, Up to 24 HR Pencil Eyeliner in Silver just above the first line you created to create an icy effect. 

5. BOTTOM EYELINER

The notion that your upper lash line and eyeliner go hand-in-hand may be standard practice, but you can shake things up for a head-turning look. Steer away from tradition and line your lower lash line instead. If you’re feeling a bit dramatic, smudge the color out just a bit to sport a lived-in look that you’ll adore.

6. OMBRÈ EYELINER

Ombré is all about the gradual transition from one color to the next, which makes for a gorgeous finish. Sure, the trend has made its mark on the hair world, but there’s no rule that says you can’t try the trend with your eye makeup. And we just so happen to think that ombré eyeliner makes for a stunning look. To bring this look to life, grab a purple eyeliner pencil, as well as another eyeliner color of your choice. Set the stage and apply the purple liner onto your upper lash line from the innermost corner to the center of your eye.

Grab a complementary shade, like the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof, Up to 24 HR Pencil Eyeliner in Aubergine, and line the other half of your lash line. Finish up by using a small angled eyeliner brush to blend the two colors where they meet for a chic fade.

7. COLOR-BLOCKED EYELINER

It’s easy to think that two-toned eyeliner and color-blocked eyeliner are one and the same, but they’re entirely different. Two-toned eyeliner layers one color on top of the other vertically, while the possibilities are endless for color-blocked eyeliner. One of our favorite ways to rock the trend is to apply purple eyeliner in the middle of your eye, then apply white liner around the inner and outermost corners.

8. NEGATIVE SPACE CUT CREASE EYELINER

Fashion runways have become the go-to source for many makeup trends, such as dewy skin and pastel eyes. Now, the negative space cut crease eyeliner trend has appeared as one of the most popular eye makeup styles. This look, which has a more avant-garde feel, is all about applying eyeliner to define the shape of your eyes while leaving a blank space in the middle of your lids. Give the unique trend a try with our article, How to Create a Negative Space Cut Crease.

It’s considered one of the hottest eyeliner styles for 2020, and you’ll be sure to make a lasting impression when you rock the makeup look. Click through to our article, What Is a Floating Crease?

Thin eyeliner looks are always a safe bet, but if you prefer to go against the grain, block liner will meet your needs. Instead of crafting the perfect thin line, amp up your look with a bold, thick line of purple eyeliner on your lower lash line.

11. RULER-STRAIGHT EYELINER

Last but certainly not least, we have ruler-straight eyeliner. This trend is a simple and dramatic look that adds a chic accent with tons of personality. We also love that you can pull this look together in little to no time. Starting at the outer edge of your lower lash line, line your eyes with purple eyeliner and extend it, so it lines up with the tail of your brows.
