Geometric makeup hit the runways in 2017 and it wasn’t long before Instagram was flooded over with angles, edges, bold colors and striking shapes around the eyes.
Geometric makeup is still an amazing look to pull off today. And we can admire the elaborate makeup looks that transform an entire face into a bona fide piece of art.
But it’s safe to say that’s not a practical look for most days. So, today we’re sharing some amazing geometric makeup eye looks that you can try.

Makeup tips and tricks
If you watch a makeup tutorial, you’ll be able to see exactly which products makeup artists use to create their geometric eyes.
But there are a couple smart tips to keep in mind, along with some top products to keep in your makeup bag.
Here are the basics for your most successful makeup look.
- Always use a primer on your eyelids
- If you want the eyeliner and shapes to be the main focus of your look (which you probably do!), keep the base color simple, like this MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Soft Ochre
- Rely on liquid eyeliner like this Girlactik Precise Marker Liner
- Gel eyeliners, like this Inglot AMC Gel Liner, are good products for geometric eye makeup looks
Simple geometric eye makeup
Makeup artist, Misuzu Miyake, creates amazing, minimalistic eye looks that even the most humble home artist can pull off. Yes, including you!
Her geometric eye look reinvents the basic black eyeliner look. Instead of lining the edge of the eyelid, use a liquid eyeliner to trace a line across the middle of the upper eyelid.
Then, when you reach the edge, add leave-shaped flecks for an easy, edgy look.

You can also channel your inner superhero with this one-color cat eye. Here, Miyake goes with one solid shadow for an exaggerated shape around the eye. And if you’d like a bit more dimension, use a darker shadow along the lower lashline.
