As myself and theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing
UK team have been keeping a close eye on the Fashion Awards 2024 red carpet, and as a beauty editor, it's clear that one beauty trend is having a huge moment at the ceremony—and that's winged eyeliner.
Winged eyeliner has long been an iconic eye makeup look, however, TikTok has been deeming it a signature hallmark of millennial makeup (you guessed it—right next to side partings and skinny jeans), falling out of favour for the soft, smoked-out wing that Gen Z are opting for instead.
But, if the 2024 British Fashion Awards are anything to go by, the sharp flick of a liquid liner is making a resurgence, with the fashion set and celebrities such as Rihanna and Jourdan Dunn choosing to wear it on the red carpet. In fact, I'd argue that this classic look remains as timeless as ever.
