Black vs. Brown vs. Blue Eyeliner: Which Shade Is Best for You?
April 28, 2022
The Case for Brown Eyeliner
I used to wish I had different colored eyes until I discovered that wearing a chocolate brown eyeliner made my dark brown eyes pop. Since this discovery years ago, I have yet to pick up a black eyeliner again. I love the Lancôme Drama Liqui-Pencil Waterproof Eyeliner in French Chocolate because it’s deep enough to give my eyes the definition I want while having enough warmth to really pull out the subtle golden tones in my eyes. Plus, once I apply it, it stays put all day.

The Case for Blue Eyeliner
I might be biased (given that I have blue eyes and all), but blue eyeliner is the coolest finishing touch to just about any makeup look. Not only does it add an unexpected pop of pigment, but it also provides a gorgeous contrast when paired with any eye color. One of my favorites is the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Liner Stick in Chill Blue. If you’re looking to spice up your signature look, consider doing so with a swipe of icy blue eyeliner along your waterline.
