Playing with different eye looks can be a lot of fun! But, sometimes it can be difficult to figure out what to do. You want something different. But, you still want it to look flattering.

If you need some inspiration, you’ve come to the right place. Read on to learn about the biggest eye makeup trends to watch out for in 2019.

Metallic Eyeshadow

While we can’t say what’s happening in the heavy metal music scene right now, we can say that the heavy metal makeup scene is on the rise!

And by that, we mean metallic eyeshadow is about to become all the rage. The new trend is to go completely bold with it, by applying it all over your lid. And, the color should be bold as well.

Popular metallic eyeshadow colors include violet, gold, silver, emerald green, and rose. If you order contact lenses online, consider getting colored contacts to really amp up the look.

Big Lower Lashes

Most people apply heavy amounts of mascara to the upper lashes and only add a tiny bit to their lower lashes. But, now the trendy thing is to give those lower lashes some love.

Bold bottom eyelashes are now one of the biggest eye makeup trends. In fact, you won’t even have to worry about buying two separate mascaras for your bottom and top lashes.

Eye makeup brands are catching onto these trends and creating 2 in 1 mascaras with wands for both the top and bottom.

Inner Eye Shine

One of the quickest, easiest ways to make your eyes look brighter and more awake is to dab some shimmery white shadow into their inner corners.

In fact, this trick does such a good job at brightening your eyes that some people decide to wear it alone and not even add on any more eyeshadow.

This little trick used to be relatively unknown. But now, the cat is officially out of the bag. Expect to see a lot of women taking advantage of this eye makeup trend.

Crazy for Cobalt

Most people stick to the basics when it comes to eyeliner colors: brown, black, and the occasional dark blue.

But, a new color is here to make a name for itself, and that color is cobalt.

More and more women are going for bolder eyeliner colors, and cobalt is leading the charge. In fact, the big trend is to add a defined line of cobalt to your bottom lids and to skip the top lid altogether. Then, the rest of the look is kept extremely minimal, with just a touch of mascara and a neutral eyeshadow color.

For those who frequently have tired, red eyes, this is a trend you’ll want to take advantage of!

Smudged Eyeliner

For those who could never perfect the perfect liquid eyeliner line – rejoice! Smudged eyeliner is officially here to save the day.

Use a black pencil eyeliner to give yourself this slightly punk rock yet still classy makeup look.

While you’ll still mostly see the straight line in work settings, get ready to see a lot of women rocking the smudged eyeliner look for a night on the town or even for their daytime look.
