    Double eyeliner is the new makeup trend that'll elevate your eye game

    Winged eyeliner is a classic beauty look that those with a steady hand will always return to (and the rest of us will continue to practice) til the end of time.

    And the good thing about a timeless trend, is that it's always open to reinvention.

    The latest way to wear your wings? Double eyeliner.

    As brands such a NYX and Fenty release liquid liners in a range of vivid colours; neon greens, yellows and hot pinks are becoming commonplace on our peepers.  But rather than ditch the definition a jet-black cat eye undeniably creates in favour of bold new colours, the clever ones among us are simply using both.

    The trend begins with your classic black flick, which is then bordered by a bright colour. Sometimes it traces it entirely, other times just a section or two. Either way, one thing is certain: It looks damn punchy.

    Here's our top tips for working this two-toned trend:

    1. Allow time for your black eyeliner to dry down.

    Tracing so closely  to your flick is just smudges waiting to happen, so if time allows, wait a few minutes between one liner and the next. 

    2. Try eyeliner stickers.

    This makes tracing your cate eye SO easy (and smudge-free). Simply stick them on, and then trace with your colour of choice. Most formulas will only adhere to your skin and not the sticker, making mistakes easily disguisable. 

    3.  Use colours you already have

    If you want to try the trend without forking out for a coloured liquid eyeliner, try using any similar coloured products you already have. Liquid or cream eyeshadows. lip liner and other workable textures will glide on just as well with the aid of an eyeliner brush to keep it precise. 

    4. It doesn't have to be neon

    While bright colours definitely make the most impact, tracing with something more subtle like a rose-gold, violet or metallic silver can also look stunning.

    Definitely one for the professionals. Looks great, but I’d look like a 3 year old who’d played in mummy’s makeup if I tried this.

    Tee631 14 Sep 2019 1:40 AM

    I’m having a white liner moment

    It looks really good. Me I would end up looking ready for Halloween

    Neel8888 12 Sep 2019 2:56 PM

    Lol I can't even do 1 tone right, imagine doing 2...

    Yohanna 13 Sep 2019 8:13 PM

    Yup! Exactly! xD

    Omyara 12 Sep 2019 7:23 PM

    The same here haha.

    Okatko 12 Sep 2019 2:12 PM

    I love this look and have tried it with a black and rose gold liquid eyeliners.

    Thanks BH for reporting on this trend and inspiring me. FINALLY a trend I like.

    I've used the Maybelline hyperwing and a cheapie rose gold. The hyperwing is the first eyeliner I've tried that makes "winging" it easier.

    I probably wouldn't do this in neon though, I'm not that brave!

    Gilded 12 Sep 2019 2:06 PM

    The only one I like is the last one as its subtle. The rest is not for me.

    Fifi_m 12 Sep 2019 1:36 PM

    This looks great! I'll have to give it a go.

    Peach perfect 11 Sep 2019 9:15 PM

    This looks amazing. Might try it out ;)

    Hayley644 11 Sep 2019 9:15 PM

    Not for me.

    Bellefleur 10 Sep 2019 8:25 PM

    OK, I love how this looks, but I can barely cope with drawing one straight liner line, I really don't think I could do two neatly.

    Tee631 10 Sep 2019 8:07 PM

    Oh this looks fab

    skincare junkie 10 Sep 2019 5:12 PM

    I have been seeing this a lot lately. It won't suit me because the way that my eyelid folds I can't see any eyeliner once my eyes open, but looks great on others who can pull it off

    Gilded 12 Sep 2019 2:01 PM

    It'll show when you blink. :-)

    I've been using the nyx vivid brights liner for years now! They do tend to crack a little over time and can't be built up very much. The suva hydra liners are also insane for vivid, non cracking colour.

    This is such a great way to add a pop of colour, I haven't done this in ages but now I'm inspired again!

    Chicklet 5 Sep 2019 10:42 PM

    These look great, but I would not be able to recreate these myself!

    Beautybabe140194 5 Sep 2019 7:17 PM

    I love this. Definitely want to try this out. Will be practising my eyeliner skills

    Petal 5 Sep 2019 4:07 PM

    I love wearing bright coloured eyeliners but I have almost no real estate on my hooded eye area to pull off the double-lined look.

    Meedee 5 Sep 2019 9:29 AM

    I always wear coloured eye liner. I dont really like black eye liner for myself as I feel its way too harsh. I prefer something softer or with a bit of vibrant colour.

    Tigerlily 4 Sep 2019 7:32 PM

    I couldn't possibly do this myself and not look silly! I love the idea of a rose gold eyeliner on a black one!

    Snailor 4 Sep 2019 6:26 PM

    I really like NYX’s vivid line - the electric blue one especi

    IndieAna 4 Sep 2019 5:01 PM

    I love the coloured wing, I just wish I was good at creating a wing on my lids

    MoonlightSak16 4 Sep 2019 2:44 PM

    I have a bottle of blue eyeliner the shame shade as the first picture . I think it looks too over the top on me and only use it for special occasions.
