Christine, YES!!!! I’ve been using UD Mushroom for years, but it’s hard to find in stores. The other one that I love is Haus Labs Deep Bronze Shimmer, though it’s a warmer shade. If Haus Labs would make a shade like Mushroom, I’d buy a box of them!
but yes! taupe/pewter eyeliner! it’s always, always what I’m searching for. my to-try list is: Il Makiage Silvester, Continuum in Gamma Ray and Otherworld, the Surratt baton in Cendres, the Gxve in thunderbolt, maayybe IT cosmetics in Super slate.
Thunderbolt is really pretty, and her blue is nice too. Overall i think GXVE is slept on too much coz the products are nice.
A deep, dark red liner that doesn’t bleed or smudge on my monolid eyes!
Dark taupe absolutely! I have no trouble finding dark gray or browns, but dark taupe I can’t think of a single one…most taupe-y ones are too light. I’d love to find one that is a real dark cool toned taupe. Most have too much brown or gray in them. a TRUE taupe! Lisa Eldridge Renassiance Gold is my newest unusual liner…It’s a taupe-ish dark gold..I have nothing like it…..
You might want to try the color “Shade” by Pat McGrath. For me, it’s the perfect dark taupe that I’ve repurchased many times over!
I’d love it if UD would come out with some true red shades of their 24/7 eyeliner, ideally including a cool red and a warm red. I have a red KVD pomade but it doesn’t blend easily.
A deep matte violet (not plum, not burgundy).
A dark forest green that doesn’t either look too jewel toned neither too dark to almost look black
I have finally come to terms with the fact that UD liners irritate my eyes too much, so I’m looking more for a colorful line that doesn’t make me cry all day. I love MUFE’s liners, but they don’t have many colors, especially sparkly ones. Sephora Collection liners are mostly good but overall not that interesting somehow. Maybe I’m also too picky? 😭
An antiques silver would be lovely. I am not looking for a bright, shiny silver but more the antiqued look. Something in the vein of the Ellis Faas Liquid Eyeshadow in Antique Silver but in a pencil form. I like the Renaissance Gold, sort of a green-gold, shade from Lisa Eldridge and I like that it goes on smoothly and is easily blended out but I would like it to really set down when it does and they don’t, at least on me. They continue to be a bit emollient and that means they transfer to my lower lids. I don’t wear brightly colored eyeliners anymore. I try to keep my lower lash line cleaner than I use to as my aging has made the lower lash line look muddy quite quickly. Anything I put there runs and just isn’t attractive so I only use on my upper waterline and lash line. I do occasionally use a skin colored liner on my lower waterline just to open the eye up a bit.
I would also say that I would like my liners to be a distinct color rather than looking say green with gold flecks and then apply and it looks like it could be any shade of brown or black. A lot of shades that look nice when swatched on the hand or arm, do not come across as that color once applied over whatever shadow you are wearing.
Antique silver would be beautiful.
More multichrome eyeliners, please! And not ones that I have to order online, but can go in-store to swatch. Then again, Kaleidos certainly seems to have really lovely ones, so I suppose they are worth the shipping wait!
I’ve actually had pretty good luck with the shipping times from Kaleidos! Granted, I do live in Los Angeles, but I’ve gotten everything within 2 weeks. They begin the shipping process almost immediately, and it gets to the US In less than a week. The longest wait is the stretch through Customs, which can be about another week. Still, better than Glamlite 😂
I’m on the search for anything the color of Tom Ford Spring 2015 eyeshadow. Eyeliner, eyeshadow, contour, I don’t care, I’d buy it!
I love burgundy -wine pencil eye liners because they make my brown eyes pop! My favorite was Black Plum by Bobbi Brown , I loved it so much and they discontinued it. Now I use Natasha Denona’s and Charlotte Tilbury’s but neither are my perfect one. Still looking.
Matte deep navy gel in a pot – not a pencil or liquid, no shimmer, not royal or blue/gray
Sheisdo has a nice navy. Not sure if it’s as dark as you’re looking for, but you might check it out.
The only one I’ve seen from Shiseido is a gel pencil and I’m looking for potted gel liner. Thank you for the suggestion!!
Cara, I pulled it out of my vanity. It is a pot and the label on the bottom says…Shiseido Inkstroke Eyeliner Kon-Ai Blue. The product number is BL603. I hope this helps.
Yes, this is very helpful!! Thank you, Shari!
I am always looking for a navy liner, which I feel looks great on everyone. I am a pale redhead.
Reading through the comments it’s clear that a good quality eyeliner in your favourite shade(s) is hard to find and it’s one avenue that brands can explore.
As a non-eyeliner wearer I would say the one that always appealed to me was MJ’s Peridot eyeliner from years ago – that was a beauty.
Being the eyeliner fan I am, a violet mixed with the right grey
YES!!!
Something to match UD Mushroom. IMO the perfect neutral that matches everything on my tan skin.
A replacement dor UD Stag. It was a special brown that I really loved.
I tried answering this question yesterday and my iPad suddenly froze. Anyway, many years ago I got a GWP from Clinique in a shade called Wood Violet. It’s the most beautiful and unique shade of periwinkle blue/violet and in all these years I’ve yet to find a liner that comes close (I kept the tiny stub that’s left to try to get a match).
….. and I agree about a stunning gold shade – Lannister Gold from UD is/was gorgeous and they’d (or another company) would be smart to release a shade like that.
That sounds like a beautiful color Mariella! There’s a listing on eBay for one, it’s $89. I find layering an eye shadow over pencil liner is one way to get unique colors, but it takes time. 🙂
A liquid dark cool grey and a liquid dark cool brown.
