A contrastin­g inner lid adds colourful interest and immediatel­y captures passerbys' attention. The contrastin­g hues are a great way to play with colour this summer. Choose colours that sit on the opposite end of the colour spectrum (like orange and blue) and use one on the eyelid and the other on the inner bottom lid.

Frosted eyes (by frosted we mean pastel metallics) really bring out the whites in your eyes. We see this look as one of the biggest on social media. A fuss-free way to get the look is to use a fluffy eyeshadow brush and slowly dab the colour onto the eyelid, and then gently on the lower lid.

If you haven’t watched the hit TV series Euphoria featuring Zendaya, then you’re missing out. Glittery eyes inspired by the characters are going to continue trending this summer. Rim your eyes with a dark cream liner, the messier the better, then dab on your metallic eyeshadow.

Neon colours were one of the stand-out looks on the SS20 runway and after all the doom and gloom, there’s nothing like a little colour to lift our spirits. To get the glossy eyelid, apply eyeshadow as normal then use a flat brush to apply a product dedicated to give you the glossy effect. Or cheat with a lip gloss that is safe to use on eyes.

White liner and freefloati­ng eye makeup were all the rage on the SS20 runway. The classic liner broke all the rules on more than just your lash line. Apply eyeshadow as usual and then use an eyeliner to paint on a shape of your choice. If your feeling daring, use a liquid liner to give a painted-on effect. Remember, there’s no right or wrong. Just play!
