The Underliner is back! Now we wear the edgy statement look in everyday life
’90s grunge is back more than ever: in both fashion and beauty. So it was only a matter of time before the underliner made a comeback, along with lots of black lace and flounces (thanks, Netflix’ Wednesday!). While in recent years the eyeliner above the lash line was loved and lived — keyword: prominent wing at the outer corner of the eye — the lower waterline is now being used again. Stars like Jenna Ortega, Ines Tazi, Zoë Kravitz or Kylie Jenner are currently proving that enough.
The dark liner gives the eyes expression and gives them a seductive frame. Yes, the statement look can now also be worn in everyday life and, in combination with brown or gray eyeshadow, becomes a modern grunge version. Practical: You don’t get lost in time-consuming and precise details, the more fleeting and contourless the better. Simply apply an eyeshadow base to the movable eyelid and dab on a greyish or brownish eyeshadow with your fingers. Tip: Place some of the product below the waterline. With a kohl kajal, black is now very gently applied to the lower waterline and at the same time the upper lash line is emphasized. Let the lines converge on the outside and smudge them with a blender brush. Et voilà, the grunge liner à la 90s is done.
