#7. Cat Eye Liner
Get dramatic with your liner by extending up and past your lashline. Leave your lids bare for daytime wear or pair it with a smoky eye for a nighttime look.

#8. Bright Liner
Lift your lids with a bright liner in yellow, blue, or purple. Remember to keep the rest of your look simple with glossy lips and matte skin.
