As much as we love intricate, over-the-top eye makeup, there’s a lot to be said for something you can achieve in a few short minutes. Even the most accomplished makeup artists have a few quick and easy eye makeup looks at the ready for their clients, and we thought it high time we share some of the tricks of the trade with you. Best of all, you don’t need to be a makeup artist, beauty blogger or even particularly adept with an eye shadow brush to do them at home. (Trust us—they will still end up just as Instagram-worthy.) Thanks to some of our favourite influencers and celebs, there’s no shortage of inspiration to get you started on your journey to eye makeup mastery.

We’ll keep it real: There might be a couple of cat eyes involved. Don’t be scared—they’re easier than they seem and can be transformed into about a zillion different variations. Once you master the technique, you’ll be doing them constantly (promise). That said, there are plenty of other stunning ideas—from subtle shimmer to graphic pops of colour—for the cat-eye averse.

Read on for 13 of the prettiest, easiest eye makeup ideas that can be done in just five minutes or less. Whether your skill set is advanced or you’re looking for a new everyday look or sultry date-night inspiration, you’ll leave here with at least one idea. Plus, we’ve shopped out the must-have products that will help get you started.

Wearing a bold shadow gives the impression that you put effort into your look, even if you, well, didn’t.

Pink Eye Shadow

Lashes are basically camouflage for tired eyes. If you want to wake up with major length, a lash lift or lash extensions are worth the investment (or simply apply a few coats of your favourite mascara).

Lengthening Mascara

More often than not, a ring of rocker-like black liner does the trick, as Lily Aldridge shows here.

Black Eye Kohl

If you can apply eyeliner, you can re-create this simple yet statement-making look.

Green Eye Pencil

Applying this universally flattering colour all around the top and bottom lids give you a day-to-night smoky eye that may be too intense with other, darker shades.

Cream Eye Shadow

Applying two contrasting but complementary colours to the inner and outer corners of your eye couldn’t be easier, but as Halsey demonstrates, the look screams "party.”

Bright Eye Palette

A touch of gloss on your lids catches the light, bringing attention to your eyes with hardly any effort at all.

Eye Gloss

Once you’ve perfected your cat-eye look, you’re ready to graduate to new colours like sleek silver.

Silver Liquid Liner

You don’t have to be Zoë Kravitz to pull off brown shadow—the neutral flatters every skin tone. To complete the look in the easiest way possible, match your eye makeup to your lipstick for a ’90s vibe.

Go-To Browns

Soft green is gorgeous and unexpected if you’re looking to wear colour but don’t want something overly vibrant.

Sheer Green

Applying a pale, shimmery shadow to the inner corners of the eyes gives a wide-awake look in a flash.

Eye Shadow Stick

A layer of metallic shadow adds just the right amount of dressed-up glamour to just about anything—even a terry robe (right, Shay Mitchell?).

Cream Eye Shadow

Next up, if you want to make your beauty routine more sustainable, this is a good start.

Congratulations! You've made it through a jam-packed award season. You resisted the urge to go buy opera gloves à la Zoë Kravitz at the SAG Awards.

This season's red carpet regulars who have been nabbing awards left and right include the likes of Renée Zellweger, Cynthia Erivo, Awkwafina, Laura Dern, and more.

Next up, the biggest S/S 20 fashion trends you need to know. 

Get ready to start your Monday morning off with a bang. The 2017 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has officially kicked off in Shanghai’s Mercedes-Benz Arena, marking its farthest-from-home adventure to date. With showstopping pieces from the Victoria’s Secret x Balmain collaboration set to make a runway debut, plus a musical performance by Harry Styles, we had a lot of expectations for this year’s lingerie spectacle. And trust us: It didn’t disappoint.

While the fashion show doesn’t air until November 28, we’ve got your first look at some of the most striking lingerie looks the VS models wore down the runway.

Read on for our favourite outfits from the 2017 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Lily Aldridge has a modelling CV that's more than just impressive—it's legendary. Think her stint as a Victoria's Secret Angel and her major campaigns for Ferragamo and Bulgari, to name just two. But above all things, it's her street style we admire most. Lily is the ultimate cool girl, easily styling eye-catching pieces in a way that feels both fashion-forward and laid-back at the same time. 

Whether she's headed to an ultra-fancy red carpet or she's just strolling through the airport, Lily's outfits are kind of the style equivalent of a Frank Ocean song, smooth and sultry but never overstated. And while she knows how when to slip into an excellent pair of heels or a slinky camisole, she's just as chic in her simple athleisure kit or one of the many band tees she collects. If that's not a style and wardrobe worth analysing, we don't know what is.

Curious to check it all out? See seven of Lily Aldridge's best style moments…

On Lily Aldridge: Emilio Pucci F/W 14 suit; Marc Alary jewellery; Tabitha Simmons heels. 

On Lily Aldridge: Bulgari silk gown and jewellery. 

On Lily Aldridge: Reformation Moraine Top (£44); Stella McCartney Stretch Denim Overalls; Thakoon Cornelia classic duffel.

On Lily Aldridge: Hellessy Satin Gunmetal Nadia tank and satin trousers; Bulgari Serpenti Viper bag. 

On Lily Aldridge: Rosie Assoulin Green Mermaid Mesh Cami and Mermaid Mesh Pencil Skirt; Gianvito Rossi Leather Plexi Pumps (£605). 

On Lily Aldridge: Ray-Ban Round Sunglasses (£114); Reformation Afternoon Dress in Honolulu (£150); Tabitha Simmons Loopsey White Flat Sandals.

Truth be told, the bodysuit has never been that appealing to me. I’ve always categorised it as an item that slim, early 20-somethings wear on their nights out. However, today I came across a snapshot of Lily Aldridge in a long-sleeve, lace-up one-piece worn with baggy jeans and bejeweled slides, which not only caused me to reevaluate my opinion of the piece but also reminded me of a similar ensemble worn by Emily Ratajkowski around the same time last year. Though both of these women are still undeniably tall and slender, someone like me who is 5’5” and a bit curvier can easily wear their outfit combinations.

Why I think it works: The long sleeves and relaxed jeans counteract the plunging neckline and defined waistline. Plus, the sculpted black jersey does wonders for skimming your entire torso.

Lingerie dressing is a tricky trend to try: On the one hand, you’re taking literal inspiration from the boudoir, and on the other, you don’t want to look like you've just rolled out of bed. But with powerhouse brands like Balenciaga, Saint Laurent and Alexander McQueen deeming this sultry style a must for spring, there's no better time than the present to master it. Here's the good news: Fashionable ladies like Ciara and Karlie Kloss are here to show you the way. Plus, there's a range of great pieces, from your classic slip dress to your lacy bralette, sure to suit any style and personality. Keep reading for all the goods…

Ciara had the right idea last month at the Givenchy show when she opted for a balance of provocative lace cami against silk-satin wide-leg trousers and a matching duster—precisely how designer Riccardo Tisci envisaged this on the S/S 16 runway. 

Karlie Kloss gave us a dose of trousseau-chic in February at The Brit Awards, wearing a white, tiered lace top from the Alexander McQueen S/S 16 runway. She added further gothic vibes by layering cool body jewelry on top and toned down the sassy factor by wearing sneakers and loose-fit trousers.

At the Vanity Fair Oscar party, model Lily Aldridge turned heads in Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture. Here she gives a nod to bondage themes, with the upper portion of her dress featuring a cutout mesh bralette, and the bottom portion an elegant asymmetric ruffled skirt. This is the wilder side of the trend and best left for after-dark.

Kylie Jenner stunned in a bias-cut dress at Alexander Wang’s A/W 16 show a few weeks ago, grounding lace-detail bustier and slip with the sportier look of her army-green bomber jacket, also by Wang.

Model Shanina Shaik attended the opening of the new Barneys flagship store in New York City in a black plunging neckline that was perfectly placed over her red triangle bra. She elevated the entire ensemble by slipping into a pair of strappy heels.

At the Elle Style Awards, Toni Garrn suited up via white trousers and a fringed blazer. To ramp up the trend-factor, she chose a delicate bra instead a blouse.

Emma Roberts sat front row at the H&M show during Paris Fashion Week wearing a Fleur du Mal Rose Lace Balconette Bra underneath her semi-sheer top. The mix of evening fabrics and demure coverage make this peekaboo look polished.

There are few things more mesmerising than watching supermodels dance, but adding fresh sneakers to the mix pretty much means heaven for any shoe-loving fashion girl.

In this new video from Michael Kors, Lily Aldridge breaks it down in the brand’s sneakers for spring, making it seriously hard to not get up from your desk and dance—or covet her chic and sporty footwear.

Plus, don’t forget how much happier your feet will be dancing in a pair of comfy shoes at all of this season’s upcoming music festivals.

There’s something a little exciting about seeing your favourite celebrities at Disneyland, among the masses, trying to blend in (although often with a tour guide and multiple bodyguards in tow). Given they’re at the happiest place on earth, they usually look pretty darn happy—and, more often than not, they have Minnie Mouse ears in place. So in the spirit of summer, we thought it a good time to present to you the very best outfits spotted on stylish celebs at Disneyland, and how to re-create them yourself. Word to the wise: We advise leaving the mouse ears at home, unless you’re actually going to Disneyland. In which case, lucky you!
