Early on in 2020 with mask wearing, we quickly learned that our eyes got all of the attention, so it’s no surprise that in 2021 we have been seeing a lot of creativity with eyeliner. Graphic eyeliner is still going strong experimenting with new ways of applying precision eyeliner. And don’t think you have to stay with straight lines either. Graphic eyeliner is the creative trend that encourages us to draw more than a normal winged eyeliner. This is your chance to get creative. Try something different by experimenting with different colors too! Here are 10 ways you can wear graphic eyeliner.

For this look, you'll need the Motives® Super Power Mattes Eye Shadow Palette:

  1. Using a fluffy brush and the color “Level Up” blend into the crease and slightly above
  2. Taking a liner brush and the color “Feisty” make a liquid liner by mixing some of the shadow with a drop of water. Apply your winged liner
  3. Extend that wing by connecting the end of the wing and bringing that line into the crease, Stop about half way
  4. Blend “Level Up” onto the lower lash line

For this look, you'll need the Motives® Super Power Mattes Eye Shadow Palette & Motives® Precisely The Point Eye Line:

  1. Begin by applying your wing liner using “ Precisely The Point Eye Line”
  2. Mix a bit of “Feisty” shadow and a drop of water to make a liquid liner. Using an angled liner brush trace the edges of the liner already created
  3. Taking “Precisely The Point Eye Line” draw a thin line in the crease following your own natural eye shape
  4. Using our liquid shadow we’ve created using “Feisty” shadow trace the bottom line in the crease
  5. Apply your favorite Motives mascara

For this look, you'll need the Motives® Khol Eyeliner & Motives® Euphoria Eye Shadow Palette:


  1. Begin by lining the eyes with “Angel" khol eyeliner (This will help the shadow stick and help the color pop)
  2. Using the same eye pencil, line the crease following your own natural eye shape
  3. Taking “Bliss” shadow apply to the first part of the liner, followed by “Allure” to the second half. Make sure to slightly over lap where colors meet to have a smooth transition in color
  4. Taking “Essence” apply over top the line created in the crease

For this look, you'll need Motives® Long-Wearing Liquid Eyeliner in Azure & Radical:


  1. Begin by applying a winged liner using “Azure”
  2. Taking “Radical” liner apply in the crease following your own natural shape
  3. Using “Azure” draw a liner slightly above the one already created. Fill in the bare area using “Radical”
  4. Finish the look using your favorite Motives mascara or falsies

Precisely The Point

For these looks you'll need Motives® Precisely The Point Eye Line:


  1. For each look, begin by applying a winged liner using Precisely The Point Eye Line
  2. Then apply in the crease following your own natural shape
  3. You can also apply a line beneath your lash line.



Just a Touch

Graphic liner doesn't always have to be bold! For this look Priscilla used the new Super Power Mattes palette, Precisely the Point Eye Line, Motives Eye Base and our Fiber Lush Mascara to get this wearable look.

I have been obsessed by the graphic liner creative looks by Motives Beauty Advisor Maria Goddard.

For this look, Maria went outside the box and used one of the new Motives Liquid Lipsticks to create some bold lines, paired with the Euphoria Blush Palette, Angel Khol Eyeliner, & Long-Wearing Liquid Liner in Azure.

For this look, Maria used the Long-Wearing Liquid Liner in Azure with the Goal Digger Palette.

Here are two more graphic liner looks she created. For the look on the left, she used Motives Maven Mattes in Rust n' Roll Lipstick as eyeliner.  For the look on the right, she used Precisely The Point Eye Line and Little Black Dress Mineral Gel Eyeliner.

You can follow Maria on Instagram for more creative looks using Motives Cosmetics: @mariaonfuego.
