The graphic eyeliner trend has taken on many different shapes over the last few years. We've seen the banana eyeliner trend [1], the double-wing trend [2], and the reverse eyeliner trend [3], but there's a new eyeliner trend on the horizon. According to Pinterest's latest trend report [4], "fairy-wing eyeliner" is up three times on search and it's stacking up to be a huge makeup trend in 2022 [5].
Categorized by whimsical shapes and delicate line-work focussed on the outer corner of the eye, the fairy-wing eyeliner trend looks like a work of art on your eyelids. Most examples of the eye makeup use white eyeliner to add to the fairy-like look, but any colour eyeliner will do. Unlike the banana eyeliner trend, which requires you to create a smooth uniform line in the crease of your eye, the fairy-wing liner trend is less restrictive — there is no right or wrong way to do it, as demonstrated by the countless different examples of the makeup look on Instagram and Pinterest.
