The Lazy-girl Eyeliner Trend you Need to Know About

Forget everything you know about traditional eyeliner and take a moment to appreciate the latest, ‘thumb-print’ eyeliner trend .

Yes, it’s a real thing.

The most dreaded step of any beauty routine will now be your favourite, as this daring look will take you as little as 5 minutes to create.

As seen on Victoria’s Secret model Bella Hadid, this eyeliner trend promises to make a statement on your next girls-night out .

Now for a little background on the trend… the makeup artist behind the daring look, Yadim Carranza told Vogue “it was a last minute change, as the makeup was missing something”.

That ‘something’ was the thumbprint design you see smudged on the outer corners of Bella Hadid's eyelids.

The ‘thumb-print’ eyeliner trend (think of it as the thicker and less perfect step sister to the traditional winged eyeliner) first grabbed everyone’s attention at Jason Wu's Spring fashion show.

Now cool girls Kendall Jenner and even Bella’s older sister, Gigi Hadid are rocking this look on and off the catwalk .
