Without fashion week, award shows, or really anything happening at all, it's difficult to hunt down new beauty trends. Luckily, although everything else seems to be on pause, Pinterest is alive with inspiration and eye makeup looks you've definitely never tried before. From gold eyeshadow to retro eyeliner shapes, we've rounded up the coolest makeup trends you need to try this season, plus all of the affordable products that will make them easy to master.

The Trend: Green Lids

Sorry to classic blue, but green is our color of the year. From a slime green to forest green to deep olive, this color is flooding Pinterest feeds with no shortage of inspiration. Whether you're looking to paint the entire lid in one solid color or simply coat your upper lash line in a rich pigment, this trend isn't just universally flattering, but really easy to try. All you need is the e.l.f Cosmetics Satin Eyeliner ($2) in Golden Olive or, for a little extra sparkle, the e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow ($5) in Mermaid Shimmy.

The Trend: '60s Graphic Liner

It's been years since this trend first came into existence, but that doesn't mean we're over it just yet. Made popular in the '60s, the cut crease eyeliner look is one that flatters every eye shape. While some people may opt for colorblocked shadow to really make the eyes pop, beginners may prefer the ease of a pigmented eyeliner, like the e.l.f Cosmetics Intense Ink Eyeliner ($4) or the e.l.f Cosmetics Expert Liquid Liner ($3). Both liners are easy to handle and are totally budge-proof, so these sharp lines will last for hours.

The Trend: Golden Eyes

We have a couple more decades until we officially hit our golden age, but that doesn't mean we aren't totally inspired by the shimmery shade. Before you get intimidated, remember that gold can come in all types of textures and also look really minimal if it's focused on only certain parts of the eye, like just below the brow or at the inner corner. In short, this trend works for everyone and is kind of perfect for the holiday party season.

Use the e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow ($5) in 24K Gold or Dirty Martini ($5) to decorate your eyes in this show-stopping color. Bonus: you don't need a brush! These glitter shadows use a doe-foot applicator to collect the perfect amount of glitter, so all you need to do is blend it directly onto the lid. Want to ensure this glitter doesn't move an inch? Prime your eyes and face with the e.l.f. Cosmetics Poreless Putty Primer ($8) before application. The results will be epic.
