Graphic Eyeliner Obsessed

Obsessed is an understatement. Graphic eyeliner is one of those trends that can be pulled off with a sashay of . The graphic eyeliner look is all about making the face more symmetric than pretty. Scientific studies show that beauty and the idea of primal attraction is based on symmetry, not just preference.  Which is a relief, because the preference can be changed depending their culture, media, and trending concepts. 

Lately, geometrics has given way to makeup. Shading techniques based on contour and highlight stem from the same concept. In my humble opinion I feel like geometrics has always been the silent ghostwriter to makeup application. There are references of tribal makeup from African tribes and ancient Egyptians. The way makeup artists and some fashion houses have modernized said look into cool graphic eyeliner markings. It takes on a whole meaning to the term minimal. You can use graphic liner in different colors, widths and along parts of your face. It's all about symmetry. See a few examples featured below. 

I really fancy the idea that you can include a beat face of makeup or none at all to do graphic eyeliner look. It's minimal, sometimes only including a lip stain or lip balm.  

Tribal makeup and it's references to graphic eyeliner makeup. Typically, tribal makeup uses color and lines to show significance of hunting, stature, and military status. 

This is such an astonishing display of facial symmetry, color, lines and configuration. I would wear graphic makeup for a date or party, concert, social gatherings.
