If you’ve been keeping an eye on what’s been going on in the fashion world recently, you’ve probably noticed pastel eyeshadows and some bold, out-there eyeliner sashaying down the runways for SS 2024 collections. Both Phillip Lim and Chet Lo showed off some very brave eyeliner designs for their runway shows, with models rocking everything from geometric white blocks to bright green smudgier patches over their eyes. “I predict that the spring/summer ’24 makeup trends are going to be all about vibrant, bold, color eyeliners,” Glamazon Beauty’s founder and celebrity makeup artist Kim Baker told Elle. She noted that shades like royal blues, vibrant reds, and bold pinks will be some of the hottest colors to rock. “In 2024, the vibrant color-lined eye will dominate the street and our makeup bag,” she added.
But while we’ve been seeing colorbock cat-eyes taking center stage on 2024’s runway shows, the look has been around for a while now, as we first saw it gain popularity on Instagram back in 2018. This time around though, the trend has gone that little bit further in terms of colors and designs, with some super daring versions of the concept being seen during fashion shows, putting a twist on a classic colorblocked cat-eye.
If you’re wondering how to get in on the colors yourself, look no further! We’re rounding up a few of our very favorite takes on this look you can try at home to get yourself right on trend for 2024.
Finding the whole liquid eyeliner colorblock cat-eye a little harsh? Then you could get the same look in a slightly softer way by using an eyeshadow or eyeliner pencil. This look shows how eyeliner can be used to frame the eye and then smudged outwards from the outer corner for a more diffused effect. Just remember to still go bold with your shadow shade though, as this look is all about the drama.
Not a fan of putting a super vibrant shade on your eyes? This look proves you can still get the desired effect with white eyeliner, with the addition of the classic black liner if you feel like you need that extra step to anchor your look. This version of the makeup makes use of a very thick line about the upper lashline before winging out for an updated version of the traditional cat-eye look.
