Mix and match colours. Watch this tutorial and try the coloured eyeliner trend.
Try the trend
Try these three looks at home for yourself, as demonstrated by Ashlee from Nutrimetics HQ. From cat eye flicks to graphic lines, vibrant strokes of colour highlight your best features.
LOOK ONE
Molten gaze
Using nc Intense Waterproof Eye Pencil in Maroon, this look goes to the inner corner of the eyes to create an inner-corner wing. The Charcoal shade adds extra definition to the lower lashes.
LOOK TWO
Electric blue
Blue eyeliner is the new black! For a cool blue twist on a classic application, take a pop of Blue across the bottom water line and onto the top lash line, then diffuse out for a smoky effect.
LOOK THREE
Double or quits
Amp up your wing! This look takes nc Intense Waterproof Eye Pencil in the luxe Brown shade across the lash line and out. Then, the bright blue colour traces along the top of the Brown to create a double-hued cat-eye.
What’s the best colour eyeliner for your eye colour?
nc Intense Waterproof Eye Pencils enhance eye colour in a way no other makeup can. The shades enhance your eye hue effortlessly. So if you have blue eyes, choose brown or bronze. Those with hazel eyes should try bronze also, while brown eyes should go for a pop of electric blue. Finally, if you have green eyes, opt for Maroon as the perfect iris compliment.

Professional tips
Keep the rest of your make-up minimal
Remember that the coloured eyeliner should be the star of your look. Stick to one bold and choose the eyes over lips. Keeping your hair and outfit simple also means you can wear these eye looks casually, too.
A little goes a long way
Even a tiny pop of colour on the lash line can add edge to your look. Why not choose classic brown or black, then layer coloured liner at the corners for extra definition?
Eyeshadow first
Lightly powder the eyelid with a neutral matte eyeshadow shade before applying your colour. Our creamy pencils are longwearing and will hold even with foundation underneath.
Limit your hues
Try and stick to a maximum of one or two different colours per look. Any more than that and it can look OTT – you want to keep it classy but cool.
Be bold!
Be it feline flick or a fully graphic shape, it’s all about having fun. Apply in small fine strokes, get as close to the lash line as possible and keep the Micellar water at hand for any tidy-ups.
