Colorful Graphic Eyeliner Is The Way To Take Your Look To New Levels

Because there are only so many ways you can do cat eyes.

Graphic eye art, commonly called graphic eyeliner, is a makeup trend that involves creating shapes, with liners and shadows, on your eyelids.

It is often created using dark colors, but some beauty enthusiasts opt for a more colorful route.
