How you wear your eye makeup can make or break an outfit, and can serve the same purpose as accessories when it comes to upping the style aspect of any look. Experimenting with makeup gives you the chance to try out new trends without making too much of a commitment, if you don’t like what you’ve done, you can always just take it off and start fresh.

One of our favorite makeup trends for spring is retro-inspired winged eyeliner, and we can’t wait to pair the look with our fresh spring fashions. This chic and sleek eyeliner style is just the thing to brighten up your eyes and add some graphic interest to your makeup palate. The vivacious style has been popping up on some of our favorite celebrities on the red carpet. Emma Stone and Jessica Chastain sported eye-catching eyeliner at the Oscars. Winged eyeliner has also made its way onto the runway, as Jonathon Saunders decked out his models with a thick, powerful take on the trend. Although the look is a classic – it just screams ’50s and ’60s glamour – it’s easy to make it modern and make it your own.

Creating a dramatic, sweeping line with your eyeliner is a go-to for a night out with the girls, it instantly accentuates the eyes and is a surefire attention grabber. While a thinner, more demure line is ideal for adding a sweetly romantic twist to your casual daytime makeup. Winged eyeliner can be used to create a variety of other looks. It can be sassy, alluring, coy, or even prim and proper, depending on how you choose to draw on the liner. While experimenting with a new eyeliner style may seem daunting at first, trying out different winged styles can help you find a look that works for every outfit and every occasion. Don’t worry about creating a perfect line the first time, either, just be sure to have that trusty eye makeup remover handy. So grab your eye pencil or your liquid liner and give this fun, fashionable spring trend a whirl.
