How We Are Wearing Eye Makeup In 2026

The Spring Summer 2026 runways have defined how we should be wearing our makeup this season. Let’s start with the bold blowout eye look, they call it ‘Kaleidoscope Colours On Lid’. Bold disco blowout eye look is what the runway is saying to wear, everyone has not stopped talking about Willow Smith’s painted pastel eye look. It’s a look dated to the 80’s and the way the Genz embraced the trend makes the trend a beauty antidote to a boring beauty issue for everyone.Think of it in colour hues like grey, duck egg blue or cobalt blue etc And they are not only wearing it in eyeshadow but in mascara, the mascara version makes Fenty’s viral blue Hella Thicc mascara a sell out.

Another way to wear makeup this season is to play with a sultry smokey eye look, we don’t want the heavy hand on the eyes but still wants to those strong powerful eyes when out in the dark, so long you start with a bronze brown then build into black to get the best result. Some start with black hence frustrated with no result achieved. To finish the look try a black eyeliner for a great finishing touch to a smokey eye look.

Statement shimmery eyes are also trending right now, the secret to wearing this trend is to subtly apply it on the lash line hence a captivating eye look that’s soft enough as an everyday look.

Bright white eyes are also making a strong statement in the beauty forefront, the application of one colour white on the eyes speaks of the 60’s era. Its surged in popularity has made models like Gabbriette wear the tippex colour as an everyday look. I will wear mine with coral lips. It’s high contrast flatters all skin tones.

Finally, Pastel pops were spotted on the spring summer 2026 runways, pastels are known to wake your eyes up if your goal is to freshen up your makeup look thanks to their vibrant white pigments.
