Heavy Eyeliner On the Runway

Models for the Narciso Rodriguez show wore thick lines of liner around the entire eye. Notice the liner meets at both corners of the eye.

The Lanvin models wore eyeliner quite dramatically. The theme of the show was ‘broken couture’, so the liner was intentionally messy. No liner was applied under the eye. A thick line was drawn above the lashes, getting thicker toward the corner of the eye and extending past the corner about an eye’s width.

The makeup for the Gucci show paired bright eyeshadow with heavy liner for a very dramatic draw to the eye. The liner was thick all around the eye, meeting at both corners. It was also smudged a bit above the eye and into the shadow.
