Blue Eyeliner Comparisions & Dupes
I think I may have more blue eyeliners than any other color in my stash. It’s definitely a close race between blue and green, though! These are just medium to light blues – I kept navy blues separate.

Thoughts
DUPE ALERT! I think it’s safe to say that CoverGirl Blue Boom Liquiline Blast, Urban Decay Deviant 24/7 Liner, and Tarina Tarantino Glamorous Thief Dream Hyperliner are very, very similar. I would say they are dupes, with the exception of Glamorous Thief being a smidgen darker.
DUPE ALERT! It is apparent that Make Up For Ever #7L Aqua Eyes, Urban Decay Electric 24/7 Liner, and Tarina Tarantino Kanzashi Dream Hyperliner are very, very similar.
Formula/Wear: CoverGirl Liquiline Blast and NARS Eyeliner are the only two that have any issues based on my experience. CoverGirl just requires more layering, as it is not as pigmented as the other shades here. NARS, however, I’ve had a lot of migrating issues with, but I encourage you to read the review and the comments. tokidoki Glitter Eyeliner stays on well but can be scratchy against the lash line due to the glitter particles.
See more swatches!

I totally shouldn’t look at this…I already had the UFE 7L on my (obscenely extended) wishlist, but now I also feel like I need NARS Kitty or MAC Cyan (or both, except they don’t sell NARS in Portugal…)
Hahaha … i was totally going to say the same thing !
I’m eagerly anticipating the purple comparison post!
I always thought Milani’s Aqua was closer to UD’s Flipside. I actually returned Flipside because I had Aqua and when I put one on each eye, I couldn’t really tell the difference.
D: I definitely, definitely need some blue eyeliner. Stat! These are gorgeous (and made me realize that, for some strange reason, I haven’t a medium or light blue liner!)
As usual, thanks for the wonderful swatches and description, Christine!
Milani Aqua is gorgeous, and of course not available in Canada 🙁
I’ve never thought blue was the best color for my eyes, but I get TONS of compliments whenever I wear Urban Decay’s Deviant. Love it!
hello gurus here, I have brown eyes and tan skin..can someone tel me if blue eyeliner like UD deviant or milani aqua will look gud ? and i am obsessed with wearing pencil on waterline.. there is no makeup store here so cant really try anythin..
wow those tokidoki eyeliners are all gorgeous …. I’m really liking their eye products I’ve been seeing on your blog. Thanks for doing this great comparison for us Christine!
Christina,
I love that you did a blue comparison, my eyes are a light brown so I’m always looking for a good blue shade to make them look absolutely golden. I did find it interesting though that you didn’t add in MAC’s Undercurrent or Float on By. Is that simply because those shades are harder to come by since they’ve only been in collections so far?
I’m trying not to include limited edition shades 🙂
