“The cat-eye, bold liner had its moment, but this fall we will see more smudged, softer liner on the eyes that are less defined,” says Brittany Lo, makeup artist and founder of Beia. “It can mean a softer overall look, or [you can] create a bold look with a smudged, smokey effect. I suggest using a liner and smudging with a brush or soft brown shadows.”

New York City-based makeup artist Suzy Gerstein also favors warm tones for the trend, and says, “Smudgy eyeliner is an excellent way to counter the washout that many of us get come fall.”https://www.cnn.com/cnn-underscored/beauty/best-fall-makeup-trends
