New eye makeup looks are always being created and we are always here to take note. 2022 has thrown many trends our way but we have a hunch that this new eyeliner trend is going to replace our affinity for cat eyeliner altogether. Popularly known as a batwing liner, it is a new way to define those eyes and how. The trend is inspired by the ’60s winged eyeliner styles which means it’s going to be totally groovy. Stars like Dua Lipa and Charli XCX are already a fan of this liner look and it was even heavily used throughout Euphoria season 2.
What Is Batwing Eyeliner?
Also known as double wing eyeliner, this trend calls for two wings at the outer corners of the eyes. One wing extends from the top lash lines while the second front the bottom; there is a clear space between the two wings to emphasise drama. While this is the rule, some of the batwing liner styles even have a third wing that extends from the crease lines. It’s a unique way to make eye shapes appear bigger and bolder. Keeping in mind double or triple wings, there is so much room to experiment with this trend. You can keep things subtle or go all out dramatic, either way, it totally slays.
Batwing Eyeliner Inspo For Every Kind Of Vibe
Everyday Essential
This is a cute batwing liner style for everyday wear. It features white eyeliner on the lower lash line for a wide-eyed effect.
Drama Queen
With the liner connecting at the inner corners and going its separate ways at the outer corners, this look is sensational and so hot.
Glam Craze
Instead of a wing extending from the lower lash line, this style features a wing from the crease and upper lash lines.
Bambi Eyes
Periwinkle eyeshadow is used on the lids and soft brown eyeliner is flicked out in curvy wings from the upper and lower lash lines. The water lines also have a white liner for a wide-eyed effect.
Smokey Hack
This is genius. Brown eyeliner is applied on the upper and lower lash lines and it extends out in a single thick wing. Then, space is created with a white liner on the lower lash line that extends outwards and cuts the brown wing in half.
Razor Sharp
This is a fierce, feline-like double wing liner look we love. Two parallel lines are drawn on the upper and lower lash lines. The wings are not only on the outer corners but on the inner corners as well.
