Graphic Eye Makeup Ideas with Coloured Contacts

@tiaxxmakeup uses a bright and bold pigment of pink, blending into a darker shade at the outer corner. This creates a sharp and eye-catching juxtaposition against the crisp white graphic liner that swoops out away from the eye and then back in over the crease. Tia creatively uses a blend of lashes, including a white cluster on the outer corner of her lashes that follows the streak of white liner. This leads right up to the edge of her iris, covered by our Sakura Pink coloured contact lenses in a baby pink colour. These pink contact lenses compliment the soft pink base colour used on the lids, and the three gems dotted high on the inside of the eye socket, below the brow and following the natural contours of her face and nose. 

Get into the festive winter spirit and create your own gorgeous makeup look inspired by the weather! @tiaxxmakeup uses our blue Wild Blizzard contact lenses to create monochromatic graphic eye makeup. Using a deep shade of navy blue, Tia creates a dark shadow where eyeliner would naturally go, however, the star of the show is the precisely painted snowflake above on the outer corner of the upper lid. The delicate line work leaves the impression of the snowflake dancing along the eyelid, carried by an invisible breeze. The shimmer in the centre of the lid and corner of the eye helps to cement the illusion of snow swirling through the air. This icy blue festive makeup could be fun to recreate for a night out with friends and/or family; check out our range of blue contact lenses here.

If you want an example of how wearing a similarly coloured contact lens can elevate your natural eye colour, then look no further; @tiaxxmakeup shows off how gorgeous brown eyes can be in our coloured honey solar contacts. The golden honey tones compliment the detailed sunset look on the lid of the eye, matching the wispy golden clouds that blend downwards and inwards from the outer corner of the eye, settling above the thick, sharp line of black liner. The Honey Solar contact lenses also contrast beautifully with the mauve eyeshadow used in the lower lash line, emphasising the eyes. These natural coloured contacts are ideal for adding an edge to your look with a captivating effect, and a fantastic addition to your makeup or outfit for Christmas parties with friends, family and co-workers this festive period. 

For her final look, @tiaxxmakeup creates a more traditional graphic liner look using separate, sharp, bold lines to create a sweeping look over the eye. The green base blends from a darker colour near the lashline outwards into a lighter, almost lime green near the brow, with reflective shimmer catching the light in the centre of the lid and highlighting the inner corner of the eye. One smaller, diffused black line sweeps out from the bottom lash line to extend the eye, matched by the bold thick liner that flicks up and away to create a strong cateye. The upper liner extends from just before the endpoint of the natural lashline, so the eye appears lifted and sharper. The bright Green Party contacts help open up the eyes, preventing them from appearing smaller in the thick liner. Create a monochromatic look yourself for a festive party over Christmas or the New Year and match up your coloured contacts to your eyeshadow or liner for a captivating effect. 

Watch a master at work in this video by @lilicrsjy, creating an elaborate graphic eye makeup look that extends far from the socket based on the colour of her Jade Green coloured contact lenses. The softer, swirling blend of dark green and sky blue around the centre of the look perfectly reflects the jewel-toned contact lens. The yellow-green outer edges of the look add the perfect contrast to the deeper tones and help blend the design outwards. Overlaid by a bright UV green liner in the shape of vines that curl around the eye, from the lower inner corner up to the brow bone and the upper outer edge, around, and down the cheek. This makeup look emphasises the limitless bounds of makeup and how it's all about having fun with fresh, inventive designs and bold mixes of colour. In your next look, try matching your eyeshadow base to the colour of your lenses, then adding an opposing colour with a pop of graphic liner. 

@lilicrsjy ‘s next look is an equally bright take on colour. This bright blend of sunset orange, hot pink, purple and marine blue gives sixties vibes, accompanied by the spread of vaguely flower-shaped splashes. This look is paired with our Rainbow coloured contact lenses, proving that they aren’t just useful for pride; tie together out-there colours with this rainbow contact lens working as a cohesive medium in the centre of the look. Smooth swirls and curves made by colourful liners fade to sharp and precise points. You could create your own firework look using different colours, or try out creating other shapes. The fun with graphic eye makeup looks is that there is no limit - just expression! 

In this look, @lilicrsjy creates a sharper finish that compliments the graphic design of the Ogre Green contact lenses, with the brighter green ring around the people oozing into the dark green iris of the lens. Offset by the deep red and orange, this green contact lens stands out even more, the lighter shade on the inside highlighted by the bright yellow liner that frames the eye. The darkness of this makeup look, with the deep shades of red and green, is juxtaposed by the brightness of the floral decorations that overlay the leaf-patterned liner. Create a bold graphic liner look to complete your fairytale costume this New Year's Eve. 

@nicolleslooks gets bold and creative with her graphic liner looks, such as this spikey alien look that uses our black mini sclera lenses. Lenses from our Halloween and costume ranges don’t have to be restricted to the month of October; have fun and get creative year-round! Nicolle uses curved monotone liner to create the impression of eyebrows, giving an out-of-this-world effect coupled with the black costume lenses. The prosthetic studs added to her face add to the futuristic science fiction element of the costume, and the lips match the eye makeup, creating a grey ombre. 

Matching the colour of your eye makeup to your contact lenses is a popular move that can create a delightful level of cohesion in a look, bold despite its simplicity, but @nicolleslooks takes it one step further by matching both her lip colour and eye colour to her Nymph Purple contact lenses! Nicolle has created a sultry smokey-eyed cut crease with shimmering light purple in the centre of her eye, complimenting the shade of purple contact lenses. Her lips are lined in black, once again matching the ring of black around the edge of the iris of the contact lens, but the lips are a lilac colour that compliments the eyes. Spice up your own makeup for a festive get-together by creating a monochromatic look like this, check out our range of colourful contact lenses to find your pair for inspiration.

We’ve fallen in love with this sparkling, gemstone-studded, heart-shaped graphic liner look from @margaridamonteiro.mua! This bewitching liner look starts above the crease of the eye, creating the bow shape at the top of the love heart in between the eyelid and the brow; then the line cuts diagonally down from the tip of the brow to touch the very outer corner of the eye and extend down to the other edge of the socket. Emphasised by a strong, pigmented line of hot pink, the heart is drawn in a mix of silver and pink gems that twinkle in the light. Gemstones have become a popular addition to eye makeup since the success of the hit TV show Euphoria, and the character Maddie’s own iconic gem-studded graphic liner. Perhaps you don’t have to add as many as @margaridamonteiro.mua has to your look, but what could be more festive or fun than adding a few gemstones to your makeup to sparkle in the Christmas lights? If you use our Elven Blue costume contact lenses like @margaridamonteiro.mua, then you could use a mix of light blue and silver gems in your make-up to match both the contact lenses and the frosty weather outside. 

If you are going out or to a costume party in fancy dress this New Year’s Eve, why not switch it up and try to replicate @margaridamonteiro.mua’s colourful cheetah print look? Take it a step up from regular cat make-up and attempt this colourful graphic eye makeup! @margaridamonteiro.mua is using our Elven Blue contact lenses, and she uses a blue palette to match. You could switch it up and create a more natural look using our Honey Solar contact lenses, or create a pink cheetah print with our Sakura Pink Contacts.

Get inspired by the shade of your contact lenses to create a monochromatic or complimentary look, or use colours from the opposite side of the colour wheel to have a bold and dramatic effect.
