So let me tell you a little story. A few weeks ago, I was scrolling through my social feed while sipping on my favorite caramel latte when I stumbled upon the most gorgeous eye makeup look—color-blocked eyeliner. It was vibrant, artsy, and so different from my usual black cat eye. At first, I thought, “No way I could pull that off.” But then, I decided to try it, and OMG—I’m obsessed! It turns out, this trend is way easier than it looks, and it’s such a fun way to play with color, express yourself, and add a pop of personality to your look.
Whether you’re new to makeup, transitioning and exploring new styles, or just looking to mix things up, color-blocked eyeliner is perfect for everyone. All you need are some colorful eyeliners, a little mascara, and micellar water to fix any oopsies. Let’s dive into my favorite ways to rock this trend—because you totally got this!
What Is Color Blocked Eyeliner?
Okay, before we jump into the looks, let me break it down. Color-blocked eyeliner is all about pairing bold, contrasting eyeliner shades to create unique designs on your eyes. It’s like a wearable art piece! You can mix mismatched colors, play with shapes, or create graphic designs—all while letting your eyes shine as the focal point. Ready? Let’s do this!
COLOR BLOCK EYELINER LOOK #1: MISMATCHED EYELINER
Mismatched eyeliner is one of my go-to styles because it’s trendy and super easy to do. Think of it as a fun way to experiment with colors that you might not normally wear together.
What You’ll Need:
- L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof, Up to 24 HR Pencil Eyeliner in Forest Green (available on Amazon)
- L’Oréal Paris Le Liner Signature Easy-Glide Mechanical Eyeliner, Waterproof in Violet Wool (available on Amazon)
- L’Oréal Paris Unlimited Lash Lifting and Lengthening Washable Mascara (available on Amazon)
- L’Oréal Paris Micellar Cleansing Water Complete Cleanser Waterproof – All Skin Types (available on Amazon)
Steps to Get the Look:
Apply Green Eyeliner
Start with the green eyeliner and draw a diagonal wing from the outer corner of your eye. Connect the tip to the center of your upper lash line, but stop there!
Add Purple Eyeliner
Use the purple eyeliner to fill in the rest of your lash line. For an extra pop, you can even line your waterline in purple.
Finish with Mascara
Amp up the drama with a coat of lash-lifting mascara. Voila—your mismatched masterpiece is complete!
COLOR BLOCK EYELINER LOOK #2: NEGATIVE SPACE EYELINER
Want something a little artsier? Negative space eyeliner is where it’s at! It’s sleek, modern, and makes your eyes look like they belong on the runway.
What You’ll Need:
- L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof, Up to 24 HR Pencil Eyeliner in Cobalt Blue (available on Amazon)
- L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara in Cobalt Blue (available on Amazon)
Steps to Get the Look:
Start with a Cat Eye
Draw a classic wing along your upper lash line with cobalt blue eyeliner.
Trace Through Your Crease
Extend the wing and follow the crease of your eyelid, creating a curved line. Keep the space between the lash line and crease clean and bare.
Finish with Blue Mascara
Complete the look with cobalt blue mascara for a monochromatic moment that screams “editorial chic.”
COLOR BLOCK EYELINER LOOK #3: GRAPHIC AQUA AND WHITE LASH LINES
This look is for my bold babes! Combining aqua and white eyeliner creates a vibrant, graphic vibe that’s perfect for a night out or a selfie spree.
What You’ll Need:
- L’Oréal Paris Infallible Never Fail Eyeliner in White (available on Amazon)
- L’Oréal Paris Matte Signature Liquid Dip Eyeliner in Blue (available on Amazon)
- L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara (available on Amazon)
Steps to Get the Look:
Draw White Winged Eyeliner
Start by creating a classic white wing along your upper lash line.
Add Aqua Underliner
Take the blue eyeliner and trace along your lower lash line for a bold contrast.
Finish with Mascara
A single coat of mascara will make your eyes pop without overpowering the look.
