Published on

Colored eyeliners have made a huge comeback and the good news is, no matter your preferences, there’s a color and a style that you can rock. So, if you’re ready to show off your creativity, you’ve come to the right place.

If you have the confidence to rock lipsticks and eye shadows in different colors, why not do the same when it comes to eyeliner? Below, we’re sharing 3 ways to pull off colored eyeliner. Give your favorite look a shot for your next outing.

How to Pick the Right Colored Eyeliner for Your Eyes

Certain colors can intensify, brighten, define or even change the appearance of your natural eye color. All you need to do is pick the right eyeliner color for your eyes.

Color Wheel Basics

Colors that fall on opposite sides of the wheel yield a high contrast, high impact look whereas colors that are close to each other on the wheel work together and are great for creating a more subtle, graduated look.

Colored Eyeliner for Blue Eyes

Colors with orange undertones, such as copper, bronze, peach and gold. Warm colors like champagne (which will lighten up blue eyes), caramel and warm brown also work well with blue eyes. For contrast, use emerald or navy blue color.

Eyeliner for Dark Brown or Black Eyes

Create the illusion of larger eyes with strong colors such as violet, silver, yellow, electric blue and chocolate.

Eyeliner for Green Eyes

Green and red are opposite each other on the color wheel, making them complementary colors that work well together. Opt for red-based bronze, or brown-hued burgundy, rust and mahogany. Purple-based colors such as amethyst, plum and mauve also make a fantastic choice.

Colored Eyeliner Looks

1. Colorful Two-Toned Eye

To begin, line your eyes as you normally would with a black eyeliner of your choice. Directly above that, create another thin line, this time using a eyeliner in a vibrant hue.

2. Winged Eyeliner

You can never go wrong with a gorgeous winged eyeliner look. One of the easiest ways to wear a precise winged eyeliner is to outline your wing and then fill in the empty space with your favorite colored eyeliner.

3. Colorful Lower Lash Line

Who says colored eyeliner has to be confined to your upper lash line? Whatever color you choose for your eye, just smudge it real good along your lower lash line and voila!

4. Glitter-y Graphic Eye

We’re going bold and graphic, baby! Think sharp lines, geometric shapes, and glitter eyeliner that make your eyes the focal point of your entire look.
