Perfect Pairings

"With bold liner you can either wear a soft nude lip or a bright pink or a bright coral lip for a fresh modern look. Keep your blush soft and natural-looking when wearing this trend."

During The Day

Cream Eyeliner In Navy, $19; Waterproof Eyeliner In Eggplant, $18

"The best way to pull off bold color during the day is to apply a thin line along top lashes with a purple, blue, brown or green liquid liner or pencil. Eye pencils can be smudged to soften the line and look more natural."

Layer It Up In The Evening

3D Lustre Liner, $19; Liquid Liner In Black, $23

"My favorite look right now is double liner. I love pairing black liquid eyeliner with a shimmering colorful liner. To achieve the double eyeliner effect, I first apply black eyeliner along the top lash line, and then I apply the simmering color liner above the black liner. You can also wear each one individually."

In the evening, try wearing double liner using black eyeliner along top lashes and a shimmering diamond, amethyst or pewter above the black.

"Try colors that are more natural-looking, like copper, bronze. Using these shades along your top lashes will give you the liner effect with a soft finish."
