The beauty overlords—that is, the creative forces behind the fall/winter 2025 shows—have spoken. It’s official: this season, the eyes have it. At Dior, a heavy helping of eyeliner was applied solely to the inner corners, providing a stark contrast against dewy skin and nude lips. Ganni, on the other hand, employed strands of wool to mimic the effects of a graphic liner look, where fibrous textures framed the lids in one-of-a-kind configurations. We’d be remiss not to mention the vivid, fluorescent eyeshadow hues spotted at the Tom Ford fall/winter 2025 presentation either; a daring statement that packed a strong visual punch. All things considered, if there was a single thread that ties all of said looks together, we would say with confidence that it is an unwavering commitment to letting peepers shine, whether that is through the use of unexpected facial adornments or subversive make-up choices. It does, however, raise an important question—how can we translate this for day-to-day wear? The answer is more simple than you’d think. Enter: coloured liner.
As is, there is no better and easier way to pay homage to the adventurous spirit of the fall/winter 2025 shows than through coloured liner. Not only is it relatively easy to use, users also doesn’t require a strong grasp of eyeliner technique to be able to craft up a high-octane look with it—especially considering the imperfect nature of the make-up seen at the fall/winter 2025 presentations. A delicate flick of maroon, sea foam green, or even lilac is all you need to inspire double takes, and if something more nuanced is up your alley, consider unique placements and shapes.
