to the grunge era (especially as we continue to mask up), punk-inspired eyeliner is popping up everywhere this season. Ciara wore a bold eye look to the MTV Video Music Awards, while models for Chanel, Dior and Zuhair Murad wore versions of the look on the runways during Fall/Winter 2021 shows. “Punk-inspired looks are cool and a bit rebellious,” says Toronto-based celebrity makeup artist Simone Otis. “Everyone can wear black around the eyes in some sort of way that suits them, whether it’s sharp, smudged or exaggerated.” Start by choosing what eyeliner finish you want to achieve. Otis says liquid eyeliner is better for sharp lines and winged looks, whereas pencil liners are great for tightlining and creating a lived-in, smudged look, and gel eyeliners are good for those who prefer to work with a makeup brush. For a punk-chic look, Otis sometimes layers a black eyeshadow overtop or dabs on some eye gloss for a final touch. — Lora Grady
