It’s said that the eyes are the windows to the soul – but in cinema, they’re also the canvas for unforgettable glamour, attitude, and a whole lot of drama. Eyeliner has long been the unsung hero of cinematic storytelling. Let’s draw a bold line through some of the most iconic eyeliner looks ever flicked onto the silver screen—and the stars who wore them with unforgettable flair!
Kiara Advani – Bold and Vibrant Winged Liner
Move over basic black – Kiara Advani is rewriting the eyeliner playbook; the star took a high-voltage detour into color territory with a dramatic winged eyeliner that could stop traffic and start trends. Whether it’s a neon teal flick paired with dewy lids or a bold cobalt wing stretching skyward with red-carpet precision, Kiara’s eye game is pure maximalist magic.
Deepika Padukone – Foxy and Cat Eye
There are red carpets and then there’s Deepika Padukone walking on them with precision and confidence. That sly, sultry upward wing paired with an elongated inner corner that gives her eyes a hypnotic, almond-shaped lift – the foxy fixation. Let’s not forget her classic cat-eye moments – especially those Cannes appearances where she redefined what glam even means.
Priyanka Chopra – Flawless Graphic Liner
When Priyanka Chopra Jonas steps out with graphic eyeliner, it’s not just a makeup choice – it’s a mission statement. Bold, angular, and unapologetically modern, her liner doesn’t just frame her eyes – it frames an entire aesthetic. Think Cleopatra meets cyberpunk, with a dash of red-carpet royalty.
Sonakshi Sinha – A Bold Splash of Metallic Magic
When Sonakshi Sinha stepped out with her metallic aqua blue winged eyeliner, the beauty world collectively blinked—and then stared. Paired with dewy skin, a neutral lip, and open-curly hair, the look let her eyes do all the talking. The wing was bold but precise, stretching like a brushstroke of rebellion across her lids, shimmering just enough to catch the light.
Kareena Kapoor Khan – Daring and Dynamic Eyeliner Looks
Kareena’s ability to take a classic winged eyeliner and twist it into something completely new is unmatched. Her bold colored liner, graphic and geometric styles, the reverse cat eye, smudged and smokey looks, neon flicks, subtle metallic liner, and the graphic floating liner – Bebo pulls off every look with style and grace, she redefines makeup looks.
Sonam Kapoor – Fuchsia Flick
Sonam rocks the classic cat-eye, the smokey eye, and the classic bold red lip. But her recent foray into pink graphic liner has taken things to a whole new level. Pink has been redefined – not your everyday pastel; it’s a statement-making, bold fuchsia that contrasts beautifully with her neutral, glowy skin and a nude lip, the pink liner steals the show, offering a fresh burst of color that’s anything but conventional.
Kriti Sanon – The Upside-Down Eyeliner
The winged eyeliner added a touch of drama and sophistication – paired with nude-pink lips and a sleek braid, Kriti’s makeup was a masterclass in subtlety and elegance. Opting for a classic winged eyeliner, she achieved a look that was both timeless and modern, perfectly complementing her ensemble.
From winged liners that could cut through any red-carpet tension to bold, graphic strokes that make a statement without saying a word, actresses have redefined the art of eye makeup—turning every glance into a masterclass of glam.
