Move over cat-eye flicks
Imagine a world without Instagram. We wouldn't get insights into the lives of our favourite celebrities, we wouldn't be able to brag when we ended up in a VIP party or better yet, on P.Diddy's yacht during one of his soirees and we would be lost for new (and occasionally crazy) beauty trends.
With so many creative brains in the world sharing their daily thoughts through images, it's no surprise that there's a new make-up craze almost daily on Instagram - and we couldn't be happier about it.
Enter the latest one to take our feeds by storm, ribbon eyeliner, also known as twisted liner.
