Best of Everything
Can't bear the thought of leaving black eyeliner out of your look? This clever idea incorporates black liquid liner with the floating eyeliner technique by using the black to outline the "invisible" shape. Red sparkle and flirty lashes are added for good measure.

Sunset
The floating eyeliner may be the key detail, but it still offers plenty of freedom to experiment with different eyeshadows and liners. Here, the warm pink shadow juxtaposed with the blue eyeliner is reminiscent of a pretty summer sunset.

Thin Red Line
A floating line accented by a shot of red is the perfect alternative to a black cat eye. Notice the way the soft red shadow in the crease helps tie in the purple shadow on the lid?

Extended Cut
Don't be afraid to go long with your invisible eyeliner look and extend the shape beyond the outer corners of your eyes. Make the most of the line by using contrasting shadows on the top and bottom.

Flicked Out
Can't get enough of the cut crease look? Floating eyeliner is the same concept, just on a different part of the eye. It's great for experimenting with different shadow colors, like this rainbow look.

Golden Touch
This is a look you could never create with black eyeliner. The angle of the invisible liner guarantees a wide-awake look and that thin gold line brings out all of the different tones in your eyes.

Float Up
Think beyond cat eye flicks and experiment with different angles and shapes. Increase the angle of your floating line so that it points up toward the arch of your brows as opposed to the outer corners. It will instantly perk up your face —no energizing sheet mask required.

Long and Strong
Now that is one major flick. The silver liner dots along the upper edge actually help disguise any uneven lines. You can also correct any mistakes as you're going with a cotton bud dipped in makeup remover or some concealer.

White There
The white liquid liner isn't the "invisible" part — notice the sliver of exposed skin on the outer corner of the eye. The white liner and brown shadow work with the floating liner brilliantly.

Float Your Boat
If you want your floating liner to be more visible than invisible, draw on top of the area with a white liquid liner. Then throw in some pink shadow just because.

Keep It Simple
Remember that it is sometimes the simpler looks that make the boldest statements. This floating liner flick isn't as large as others and it doesn't use as many colors, but it's stunning all the same.

Straight Across
The majority of invisible liner looks start about midway on the lid, but this one takes a different approach. It has the line extending from the inner corner of the eye all the way across to the outer corner, then up toward the brow.
