The 1990s beauty landscape can be summed up with brown lipstick and thin brows; the ’00s with butterfly clips and frosty eyeshadow; and the ’10s with glossy lips and black eyeliner. Although we’re only half way through, we’re placing our bets now that the ’20s makeup trends will be remembered best for its many graphic eyeliner trends. You have favorites like banana eyeliner, bat-wing eyeliner, floating eyeliner, but allow us to introduce you to the latest: “fishtail” eyeliner.
Don’t let its strange name fool you – the fishtail-eyeliner trend isn’t about sketching a fish-like tail onto the outer corner of your eye (but if you’re into that, to each their own). Instead, it’s more abstract.
“Fishtail eyeliner is a double-liner trend that makes your eye shape kind of look like a fish,” celebrity makeup artist Keita Moore says. “It’s something that’s unique and unusual but very lovely.”
