Eyeshadow, it's a beautiful thing. But if you've checked your Instagram feed lately, you may have noticed that the days of ultra-heavy smoky eyes and doll-like lashes are gone. Instead, this season is all about ethereal pops of color perfectly placed in your inner-eye area for an understated, yet eye-popping look. Seen strutting down the runway at Anna Sui, Fenty and Tommy Hilfiger, not to mention on the red carpet on the likes of Shay Mitchell, Adriana Lima and many other well-known names, it's about time we all learn how to get spring's seriously pretty eye makeup look.
Not sure where to begin? Inner-eye makeup, or strobing, accentuates the small area occupying your inner lid to make a major makeup statement. Before strobing your inner eyes, we recommend applying a neutral eyeshadow to your lids to serve as the base of your look. Be sure to keep it soft and simple — think pale pinks, champagnes, lilacs. For your inner eyes, any color is fair game. To help you embrace the trend, we share 15 of our favorite eyeshadows, eyeliners and highlighters to bring your strobed smize to life.
