Testing Flower Eye Liner

Festival season has finally arrived! I find festival season is a great time to to experiment and take your makeup game to the next level. While going through Instagram, I found cute flower eyeliner looks I thought would be great for a festival look or even just for a cute spring/summer time look. 
I decided to try the flower eyeliner look for myself and share them with you. I will share what products I used for each look and share how easy the looks were to create for myself, just in case you would like to try them out for yourself. I have four looks to share but you can be as creative/experimental as you want, which is what I love about this.

Look One 


Products used:

  • NYX Vivid Brights Liner in the shades Violet, Sapphire, Envy and Halo
  • NYX White Liquid Liner

This is the first look and the easiest. With this look, you create the flowers to be the actual eyeliner. You can start in the inner corner of the eye or from the middle it is totally up to you. They start small in size and then get bigger and then smaller as it goes into the flick. I just created crosses and then put a dot in the middle to create the flowers to make it easier for myself and added some green lines for leaves. I also found that this was the quickest look of all four.

Look Two


Products used:

  • NYX Vivid Brights Liner in the shades Fire, Petal, Halo and Envy
  • NYX White Liquid Liner
With this look I tried to create Roses into the flower liner. I also brought the flowers down onto the lower lash line. This one was a little bit more difficult than the first look but it was still pretty easy to do. To create the rose, I just put a rough circle shape, as roses are not a perfect circle shape and then added some white lines to make it look like the petals of a rose. I added more leaves to this look just to break up the pink and red. 

Look Three


Products used:

  • NYX Vivid Brights Liner in the shades Fire, Envy and Halo
  • NYX White Liquid Liner
  • Collection Glam Crystals Gel Eyeliner in the shade Le Freak 5 
  • Kat Von D Tattoo Liner Liquid Eyeliner in the shade Trooper
This third look I have the traditional wing liner and added flowers round the liner for something a bit different. I tried to add some glitter using the Collection Glam Crystals Gel Eyeliner but it didn't turn out how I hoped and the Collection Liner looks more like a green blob than a flower. But I think the little flowers look cute, to create them I just did 5 dots of one colour and then one dot for the centre. Also if you are not sure where to go with just drawing flowers as eye liner, having the wing eye liner there helps as a guide on where to put the flowers.


Look Four


Products used:

  • NYX Vivid Brights Liner in the shades Delight, Halo and Envy
  • NYX White Liquid Liner
  • Kat Von D Tattoo Liquid Eyeliner in the shade Trooper
This is the final look and my favourite, as I think its cute and simple. For this, it does help if you have a steady hand and a bit more time to spare to keep it neat. I have the traditional wing liner from the inner corner and made this liner a bit thicker than the third look. I added a vine that wraps itself around the wing liner with flowers coming off it. You can do any sort of flowers for this so you can make it as simple as you want. If you go over the wing liner with the green vine you can easily neaten it up with the black liner by going over the mistake.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I found the flower eyeliner cute and not too difficult to create. It can be a bit time consuming depending on what sort of look you are creating. I will defiantly be experiment with flower eye liner more for the summer and festivals. 
Will any of you be trying flower eyeliner for the summer? If you do, I would love to see the looks you create, you can share them with me on Instagram if you wish too.
