The season’s latest killer beauty trend has officially arrived just in time for Halloween makeup looks. Living up to its name, knifeliner consists of a blade artfully crafted out of silver glitter eyeliner. For anyone who has ever wondered if looks can kill, this latest take on winged liner just may be a new seasonal favourite.

The trend is quite literally cutting edge, as black liquid liner is also used to replicate the handle of a butcher knife. Meanwhile, tiny drops of bright red makeup are added to create a blood inspired effect. While some makeup gurus are outlining bright blood droplets with black eyeliner, others are sticking to darker, berry tones to mimic the appearance of blood.

For those who prefer creative makeup to the look of a Halloween mask, sharp and sexy knifeliner is certainly one way to embrace the spooky spirit of October. Whether you’re heading to a Halloween party this season or simply catching a horror movie with your close friends, this may be a terrifying new eye makeup fad to experiment with. Just be careful- knifeliner brings the idea of the “cut eye” to frightening new levels!
