Favorite blue eyeliner? UD Binge, good for when I don’t want black eyeliner but want the definition on my lower lash line
Favorite black eyeliner? Either Milani liquifeye or UD perversion
Favorite brown eyeliner? Again, either Milani liquifeye or UD corrupt

Emi at Project Swatch

Blue & Black: Prestige Total Intensity! It lasts forever and goes on so smoothly. The blue is a really gorgeous shade, and the black is super, super dark.

I don’t wear brown eyeliner, but if I did, Prestige Total Intensity would be my favorite 🙂

Gala

Favorite Blue – Gosh Velvet Touch – Deep Blue. this stuff is bulletproof, in all colors! A huge favorite of mine. 2nd runner up – Loreal Hip Blue Spark
Favorite Black – Kanebo’s Kate gel eyeliner and of course MAC’s fluidline
Dont like brown eyeliners, but my fave purple and teal are bourjois smokey effet 🙂

Kate

Blue: Smashbox Limitless Eyeliner in Indigo Blue (matte navy shade)
Black: MUFE Aqua Eyes in Matte Black
Brown: Clinique Cream Shaper for Eyes in Eygptian (says it’s a burnt green but it looks bronzy-brown with a beautiful sparkle on me)

Jennifer

Favorite blue eyeliner? Urban Decay Goddess eyeshadow (used as liner)
Favorite black eyeliner? Urban Decay Zero Pencil, eyeshadows – OIl Slick and Perversion

It’s been a while since I branched out, eyeliner-wise XD

Kristabelle

Favorite blue eyeliner? UD Binge, love how it makes brown eyes pop.

Favorite black eyeliner? UD Perversion…but right now I’m broke so I’m using L’oreal Lineur Intense and I do really like it. Very pigmented and easy to blend.

Favorite brown eyeliner? Tend not to like those, since I have brown hair and brown eyes…every once in a while I’ll use UD Whiskey.

Jennifer

Blue: Covergirl LiquilineBlast in Blue Boom
Black: Maybelline eyestudio gel liner in Black

amy

Blue- I don’t really wear it, so I’m not too particular

Black- I pretty much only wear black, but I don’t have a “favorite”; I really did love Blooming Colors by Maybelline liquid) way back, but since it was discontinued, nothing else has compared and I have tried many

Brown- I pretty much only use brown for brows, and for that, I love Wet N Wild

Laurel

Blue: Stile Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Peacock
Black: Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink
Brown: MAC Eye Kohl in Teddy

Mariella

Fave blue eyeliner: Probably Lise Watier Bleu Marin
Fave black eyeliner: it’s a draw between MUFE Aqua Eyes 0L and GOSH Velvet Touch in Ink Black (I think that’s the name)
Fave brown eyeliner: no question, it’s GOSH Metallic Brass tied with GOSH Truly Brown

Ana

Leslie

Black: L’oreal liquid pencil in carbon black. Love it over any high end liners. Smooth dark n long lasting. Liquid n pencil in one. Obviously. 🙂

Gen

Favourite blue: MAC Industrial Pearlglide Intense (the colour is so beautiful!!)

Favourite black: Clinique Brush-on Cream Liner in 02 True Black; (don’t usually use black kohls, but will have to go with MAC Feline Kohl Power Eye Pencil, since it’s just about the only one I have, lol)

Favourite brown: Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Eye Pencil in 02 Coffee (pigmented, goes on smooth and does not smudge)

Wavy Cats

Favorite Blue: MAC Powerpoint in Prussian

Favorite Black: MAC Powerpoint in Engraved (it’s a soft black which is better on less young eyes)

Favorite: UD Whiskey or Bourbon

Lizzi

Blue – MAC Smoothblue or I love to dip a smudge brush into Illamasqua’s Liquid Metal in Superior, but I can use that on my upper lids only.
Black – UD Perversion
Brown – Corrupt

And I prefer to use brown as an everyday color over black. Black just looks too harsh on my eyes for everyday.

Lizzi

Hey! I noticed you didn’t share your favorites! I’m curious to know yours… And what’s your favorite formula/brand for eyeliner overall?

Marian Humin

Favorite blue eyeliner? MAC Powerpoint in Navy Stain
Favorite black eyeliner? Lancome Artliner in Noir
Favorite brown eyeliner? MAC Teddy kohl

Joyce

Favorite blue eyeliner? Don’t have one yet!

Favorite black eyeliner? aerie Noir

Favorite brown eyeliner? Urban Decay Whiskey and Lancome Black Coffee

Miss J

Blue – I don’t really have one seeing as blue is the least flattering color on me. I do love the color of UD Deviant, though.

Black – Hands down, MAC Blacktrack. If pencil liner was precise enough for my lashline then it would be UD Perversion. I might try the liquid liner form at some point.

Brown – Don’t really wear brown liner except for Buried Treasure PP from MAC, which is a blackened brown with gold.

I pretty much always stick with black liner except on the lower waterline, which is usually nude or brightening.

bxboricua

Favorite blue eyeliner? UD Binge
Favorite black eyeliner? MUFE Aqua Eyes 1L (soft gray/black)
Favorite brown eyeliner? UD Corrupt

Veronica

Favorite blue eyeliner? I adore my Sephora Fancy Blue liquid liner for a lighter blue, and my Estee Lauder Blackened Sapphire is my go-to navy shade.

Favorite black eyeliner? Ah, I have so many on-hand, it’s kind of hard to pick a favorite. I wear the hell out of my Sephora glittering black liner, though.

Favorite brown liner? I don’t have one yet! Trying to choose between UD’s Corrupt and Tarina Tarantino’s Puppeteer.

Lyn

Favorite blue eyeliner?
Lancome Le Crayon Kohl in Black Lapis. It is a really dark blackened blue that I can wear every day.

Favorite black eyeliner?
Urban Decay 24-7 Glide On Pencil in Perversion. Deep dark black that stays in my waterline well.

Favorite brown eyeliner?
Laura Mercier Eye Pencil in Special Brown. This is the eye liner they will have to pry out of my cold dead hands. It is a perfect chocolatey brown that stays on all day for me and lasts forever.

Alexandra

Favorite blue eyeliner? Lise Watier – Aqua
Favorite black eyeliner? Maybelline Master Drama
Favorite brown eyeliner? Anabelle Smooth Liner – Brownie

loulouhex

the best EVER black liquid eyeliner is Maybelline Ultra Liner. really. it’s got a tiny brush that’s easy to control for a variety of lines and shapes. the best EVER pencil liner is Chanel’s waterproof automatic pencil eyeliner. both of these go on perfectly and never come off…until you take some makeup remover to them [i use jojoba oil, it works great especially on the chanel which is steadfast]. I don’t use brown or blue very often. My blue is a great, Blisslabs automatic fattie pencil in bright neon blue. My brown is just a eyeliner pencil from boots 17.

Francesca

Favorite blue eyeliner? Mac Auto-de-Blu technakhol
Favorite black eyeliner? Prestige Total Intensity
Favorite brown eyeliner? Mac Brownborder technakhol

Jeanne

Favorite blue eyeliner? Urban Decay Binge
Favorite black eyeliner? Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Black
Favorite brown eyeliner? tie between Urban Decay’s Bourbon and Underground

Janeen

Blue Eyeliner – Estee Lauder’s Double Wear Midnight Blue. Felt it had better pigmentation than UD’s Binge like color, and better staying power.
Black Eyeliner – UD Zero. Really want to get ahold of perversion 🙂
Brown Eyeliner – don’t use brown much at all, but it’d be UD’s brown liner (Whiskey?).
Big UD liner fan.

Lucy

Fave blue eyeliner? Chanel Marine waterproof eyeliner
Fave black eyeliner? Guerlain Terracotta Noir loose powder kohl
Fave brown eyeliner? Revlon Black/Brown liquid eyeliner

Kelly B

Favorite Blue: Mally Navy brightens the eye. I just ordered 3 Mac Pearlglides (damn those amazing reviews Christine gives us :)…I think Industrial will be my new favorite blue toy…I also ordered purple and undercurrent…I want Petrol next. So greedy.
Favorite Black: Mally’s Lash Illusion Lash Filler. It is tiny..about 1/4 thickness of my other 3 black pencils, which are too stark so I don’t wear them. Lash Illusion is ideal for tight lining or placing right above and into the lashes to give you super thick looking lashes with or without mascara. I love to stack a fun eyeliner color above it.
Favorite Brown: I see lots of comments where people don’t wear brown eyeliner…I own 7…perfect alternative for softer eye on me. I have almost every shade Urban Decay made. I love Bourbon, and 2 shades that I think look soft/taupe: Stray Dog and Underground. As I get older I find brown works better than black and bright fun colors are still as good no matter what age you are!

Shrutilaya

Favorite blue eyeliner?
MAC Siahi Fluideline and Chambor 104 Teal Dazzle

Favorite black eyeliner?
MAC Blacktrack Fluideline, it’s the BEST eyeliner ever.

Favorite brown eyeliner?
I’ve never really used brown liner 🙂

Tracy

I don’t wear blue eyeliner.
And GASP ! I don’t wear black eyeliner ! I need something softer because if I wear black, it’s too harsh ! So I have to try alternatives, like purple, copper, grey and brown.
My fave brown is Lise Watier Fauve, but I really want to try UD Underground !

Leia
