One of my favorite finishes for eyeliner is when they have a nice sheen, whether more pearlized or true metallic. Here are some of my personal favorites that I’ve tried!

Bobbi Brown Bronze Shimmer.
Awesome!
I bet I’d love ’em all! Haven’t tried any of them though.
What metallic shades do you have and enjoy?
I love Bourjois Golden Dress!
Yepp, I definitely need some of these.
Overboard, Get Paid, Sunset and Sun Tan specifically I’ll be picking up.
Great picks 🙂
Oooh, I love metallic eye liners, they usually add 2 more hours of sleep to my eyes!
*Colour Pop Sweet Tooth in pot -warm brown with tons of sparkles/glitter -great for Monday mornings
* Too Faced Bulletproof Eyeliner in Mink- very shiny metallic copper bronze, very bulletproof on my oily lids
*theBalm Mr. Write (Now) Eyeliner in Jac – this one tugs, but the antique gold-bronze color is so flattering and brightening, it’s one of my faves paired with a bold lip
Sweet Tooth is fun with the sparkles in it!
Of course rich ground is the one I like the best!
Yay!
So, so bummed Rich Ground is discontinued! Another MAC favorite gone. Great list, thanks.
Still technically available 🙂 http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/13838/898/Products/Makeup/Eyes/Liner/Fluidline#/shade/Rich_Ground
Of what I own, I love both my Sephora Contour Pencils in Suntan and Cocoa! Both warm and have that metallic glow going on, Cocoa being more subtle because of its depth. I am still wanting to try out some of CP’s gorgeous metallic eyeliners, especially Overboard!
Suntan is a fun one 😀
Just love this colour – Show Me and Gilded would be my favourites. They are divine.
Any other favorites, Genevieve?
I think Urban Decay Smog and Roach give Scorch a run for its money!
Those are fun shades!
I love the L’Oreal Silkissime liner in Gold, it’s perfect for just a little bit of glitz on an otherwise neutral eye.
I love MAC Atomic Ore (not sure if it’s permanent or LE) and also Marc Jacobs Brown(Out) and its much more affordable Sephora dupe, Cappuccino.
I don’t have any of these. They’re all lovely. I definitely need to try the Colourpop liners.
Weirdly, I don’t own a lot of metallic eyeliners. I tend to use metallic eyeshadows as liners more than actual liners for golds and coppers, as the opacity is better and they’re easy to smudge under my lower lash line. The ColourPop Metallic finish eyeshadows in Game Face (Ultra Metallic), Get Lucky, and On the Rocks are some of my favorites for lining.
My favorite warm metallic eyeliners are: UD 24/7 pencil in Roach (HG brown liner for me); Stila Smudge Stick in Lionfish; Tarte Clay Pot Waterproof Eyeliner in Bronze; L’oreal Infallible Silkissime in Gold and Green Ivy; Jordana Cat Eye Liner in Future; Maybelline Master Kajal in Gold Flare; e.l.f. Expert Liquid Liner in Copper (glitter liner).
