First things first, Rebecca Moore, Nars senior artist, suggests prepping the eyelid. "Use an eye shadow base—my favourite is the Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base—to prevent eyeliner from moving or smudging throughout the day," she says.

@Amy_lawrensonA simple flick of colour is the perfect way to ease yourself into the trend. It garners just the right amount of attention to the eyes. Plus, if any colour screams summer, it's coral.
This vibrant coral shade looks great on all eye colours.

@thehangeditNow, this is how glitter liner is done. As someone with hooded eyes, I find the traditional eyeliner flick so hard to wear, but this negative-space, floating eyeliner is redefining traditional eyeliner—and with glitter. I’m obsessed.
This duo-ended line contains a felt-tip blue eyeliner on one end and a creamy kohl liner in shimmering silver on the other.

@mexicanbutjapaneseA swipe of yellow along the lash line instantly brightens the eyes—and who doesn't love this optimistic hue?
Shiseido's eyeliners are so pigmented and glide on like a dream with a long-lasting finish.

@spicy.mayoThis is a softer take on the inner-corner eyeliner look. Use a bright eye shadow to create smooth, delicate liners, replicating the eyeliner look without the precise lines. This is like a massive cheat code if you don't have a steady hand for traditional eyeliner.

@isabel_hendrixGlitter eyeshadow on top, contrasting liner on the bottom—this is the makeup definition of go hard or go home.
This formula transforms from liquid to eye shadow once dry, giving you endless ways to wear it.

@isabelleikpemeWho said lines were meant to be straight? Update your liner look with some wavy and spiralling lines. They look especially good in lilac, the colour of the season that’s dominating everywhere from homeware to fashion.
We're totally obsessed with this pastel lilac, which is a steal at £5.

Contrast lower and top liner when you’re feeling bold and want to really hone the attention to your eyes. You can opt in for tones of the same shade for a retro look like this.
These creamy pencils deliver a professional-looking finish.

@champagnemaniI’ll be the first to admit I am no good with eyeliner. Plus, I don’t have the patience. If you’re like me, then this is the eyeliner look for you—eyeliner but not really eyeliner. So simple yet so chic and fun all at the same time.
This cobalt blue is surprisingly chic and a trending colour for summer.

@haileybieberNow this is for when you really want to show off. Holographic eyeliner will have people swooning and praising you for your creative skills, but it’s so easy to re-create. Take a leaf out of Hailey Bieber’s book, and use an eyeliner sticker as a cheat.
If you prefer a liquid liner, this holographic one achieves similar results.

@camiladerizansOffset the harsh lines of eyeliner with delicate eye shadow. Yellow and purple are a winning summer colour combination.
This eyeliner really is budge-proof thanks to its waterproof formula.

@maria_bernadA vibrant eyeshadow created by smudging out your eyeliner pencil can look really striking against your regular black cat's eye flick.
Urban Decay's formulas are well-known for their long-lasting, vibrant shades. We particularly love this electric orange.
