"It's proof that sometimes the tiniest details make the biggest difference, especially if you're someone who loves the idea of eyeliner but struggles to nail a dramatic wing. "Micro eyeliner is basically liner at its most minimal," says celebrity makeup artist Christian Briceno. "It makes your eyes look polished yet still natural, and it complements the skin-first, undone makeup trend. Plus, it looks fantastic in real life and on camera.""
"Instead of a sharp cat eye or an exaggerated graphic design, micro eyeliner focuses on two small but impactful steps: a fine line right at the lash base and a subtle flick at the outer corner. The effect? Fuller-looking lashes, brighter eyes, and a subtle lift. "Since the line is so fine, you don't lose lid space," Briceno says. "If you flick it up a little at the edge, you get lift without the drama of a full wing.""
"To nail the technique, Briceno recommends curling your lashes first and then tight-lining your top waterline to fill in any gaps. Once you have the perfect base, use either a brush with a gel liner or a precision pencil to draw a dot-dash line right at the lash line from the middle outward, then connect the dashes. "For a lift, add the tiniest flick following the angle of your lower lash line," says Briceno. Finish with mascara to make your eyes pop."
Micro eyeliner is a minimalist eyeliner approach that places a very fine line at the lash base with a tiny flick at the outer corner to create fuller-looking lashes, brighter eyes, and a subtle lift. The line remains close to the lashes so lid space is preserved, allowing the look to flatter all eye shapes when thickness is adjusted. Prep includes curling lashes and tight-lining the top waterline to fill gaps. Use a gel liner with a brush or a precision pencil to draw a dot-dash line from the middle outward, connect the dashes, add a tiny flick, and finish with mascara.
