Neon green liner gets a sultry twist, thanks to a subtle dusting of shimmery nude eye shadow, perfectly groomed lashes and barely noticeable black liner right along the lash line. When wearing shadow and a bright liner, a good rule of thumb is to contrast the look of the liner with the shadow, says Lucero. So if your liner is shimmery, opt for a matte shadow and vice versa.

Dust an eye shadow one shade darker than your skin tone over your eyelid. Using a black precision eyeliner, like Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Push Up Liner, draw a thin line along your upper lash line, stopping at the outer corner of your eye. Trace above the line with a liquid liner like Hard Candy Walk the Line Liquid Liner in Twist of Lime or, if you prefer to use a pencil, try Make Up For Ever Aqua Matic in Iridescent Lime Green.
If you're feeling especially daring, try out a trendy red cat eye. Sheer white shadow or highlighter dusted into in the inner corners of the eyes and up toward the brow bone will keep the look from looking too warm and, well, consumptive. Finding that balance is important when working with bold colors. Lucero recommends doing a cooler lip if your colored liner is warm, and vice versa.

Swipe a creamy pencil, like Covergirl Flamed-Out Shadow Pencil in Red-Hot Flame, for a soft look, and then use an angled liner brush to add on a precise flick. If you prefer it to be a little glossier and pigmented, try a liquid liner like Dior Addict It-Line in It-Pink.
