If it’s not black then I have to go with dark blue.
Purple or blue! I prefer them to black.
blue!
TEAL! and purple but it’s sooooo hard to find a good purple eye liner.
I really only wear black on a regular basis, but I absolutely looove red!
Ha ha! I love Teal on others but never on me! I like brownish black! Thats probably my favorite thing to wear all the time!
Dark brown with some bronze shimmer–it’s not as harsh as black and brings a soft sparkle to to my brown eyes. And if it smudges, it can still look flattering, like you were going for that smokey bronze eye effect
I’m a PURPLE girl!
Black, bronze or plum! 😀
i love forest green color and I have many in my stash
Grey if matte, copper if metallic/sparkly
Dark dark brown. Yes I’m that basic 🙂
i usually like to stick to black since i wear a lot of dark smokey looks. if i deviate though, green is definitely my go to!
urban decay glide on pencil in deep sea, delinquent and perversion. 🙂
Violet!
Plain black or bronze or green or teal! (sorry, can’t pick just one ;-))
There is equal love between blue-based teal, green-based teal, and plum.
Black. Might be a bit boring and ordinary, but my eyes need the black.
I love golds and bronzes!!
Taupe and olive-y green/brown shades that are sort of hard to describe (Sumptuous Olive, BM Elitist, Tarina Dandy Lion…those sorts of colours).
Ooops! I mis-read it as “eye colour”. Eyeliner??? non-red toned dark brown shades with some bronze-y sheen to them – Gosh Metallic Brass, Nars Baalbek (so gorgeous) and Sephora Diving in Malaysia are 2 perfect examples. I’m also loving deep purples like the Rich Plum liner I have from IT Cosmetics and again a pencil from Sephora in the shade Tango Nights.
Mine are: teal, bronz-y brown or a daaaark liner with sparkles (unfortunately, there are only a few that have the sparkles show up, but those are wonderful!)…
Black
always black, but i love adding gold or teal sparkles on special occasions 🙂
The blackest of the black!
In terms of color it would have to be bright royal blue:)
Bronze/Copper! My favorite eyeliner is UD Scorch.
Either graphite or aubergine.
Green!
Deep blue or navy for winged liner! I love it against my brown eyes. For just pencil liner on the lower lashline, I like dark purples.
Greens….pretty much everything from moss to teal.
Plain old black. (UD Perversion, specifically.) I feel so boring! But when I do wear colored eyeliner, I love turquoise/teal/aqua on the lower waterline. 🙂
Grey and reddish brown for my green eyes.
Teal on the lower lash line with a coral lip
Black.. Or a reddish brown like roach. Warm brown like whiskey. Both from urban decay. I like purple as well and blues too with a matte neutral eye. I also love poison from makeup geek. But most worn is def. Liquid black or gel black liner. My go tos are ingot 77gel liner and Kat von d tattoo liquid in trooper.
Lol – yes Christine, you rock a mean teal eye liner. My signature eyeliner color is sapphire blue.
grey or browns, both warm and cool
TEAL! 😉 Using UD’s Deep End many years ago as liner is what spurred my forays into eye makeup. I can never have enough teal liner !
But I’m also a massive eyeliner collector and love using my absurd e/s collection as liner (for me, my love for shadow began by seeking out unique shades I couldn’t find in liner form) and have a few shades I purchase nearly every version i can get my hands on. Teal is my sentimental, always comfy favorite. But gray (proper gray especially, not just charcoal and dark ones), purple (all purples! Every finish and undertone from blue lilac to black red plums), gold (especially antique, patinaed, and platinum-hued), all sorts of blues, and mint greens are special favorites. Aside from lipstick, pops of color on the eyes are my makeup favorites.
Gold and bronze colors
Even though I wear black eyeliner every single day, I LOVE plums and purples! They light up the green in my eyes. Especially loving at this moment, Nyx Slide-on in Jewel and Sephora Contour pencil in Tango Night. I do wish that there were more high quality non-skipping straight up PURPLES though, as the two I mentioned are actually plums.
Purple for sure! Black, especially UD Perversion, is a close second.
Burgundy!!! 😀 Or, very deep indigo violet! 😀
Probably berry. I’m actually a lipstick girl more than anything, so my eyeshadow is usually something in the silver/taupe/brown family to compliment a strong lip, but on an honest to goodness eyeshadow focused day, I LOVE a berry like Sugarpill Magentric, MAC Cranberry, or UD Sting (DC?) with a deeper burgundy lowlight like MAC Sketch thrown in. Then if I’m still hungry for lipstick I can just pair it with a match-ey burgundy lip or even black. lol.
Navy liquid liner is a favorite of mine.
Teal!
In descending order: warm sparkly brown, olive green (warm/yellow toned), and deep inky blue.
Teal/turquoise for sure! Aww, yeahhh! 😀
(In terms of my favourite in the ‘shades I feel I have to wear to work’, dark brown is definitely it, LOL!)
Does black count? I’m just heading into the world of color. I’ve had purples before and liked them but they have all been drugstore sans one Sephora liquid in a blackened plum. It’s just slightly softer than black but provides no real color pop. I’ve just got a cobalt one and I’m thinking of getting UD mainline!
I really love gold against my brown eyes! I’m almost done with my last UD Baked and I have no idea what I’ll do. Any suggestions?
Deep greyed-brown, very neutral and doesn’t call a lot of attention to itself.
Black khol
But I think I will get myself a TEAL. I am curious now!
My favorite eyeliner color to wear has always been shades of blue. Navy, teal, blue/black shimmer. Love my blue eyeliner!
Shades of blue are my favorite eyeliner colors. Navy, teal, black with blue shimmer.
Black, Dark Blue or Purple.
Teal!!!!! Sometimes navy blue with shimmers also works too!
Black is probably most frequent but I alternate with every other color especially teal and purple.
As much as I absolutely adore teal I usually reach for purple these days. All different shades, although I like to stick to jewel tones. At the moment I’m using Charlotte Tilbury’s Colour Chameleon pencil in Amethyst Aphrodisiac. I love the shimmer in it and the fact that it’s not that bright a colour means I can wear it most days, even to work. My favourite way to wear colour on my eyes is as liner on my bottom lash line, smudged just a bit to soften the look. 🙂
Dark Navy with shimmer or UD Sabbath
Dark brown
An olive-y green like UD Stash or Mac Forever Green; alternatively a warm taupe like Butter London Twigged, and maybe gold on the lower lid. Sometimes I’ll use gray or brown or slate blue, but the above are my favorites. (I have olive green eyes and very fair, neutral-warm skin, so black is never going to work on me…)
My favorite eyeliner is teal or pure, bright purple.
Plum pencil liner (Tarte fig)–a thick line with a thin line of black liquid liner over it at the base of the lashes.
Pewter liquid liner on the lid. I always tight line with dark blue or black. I have grey-blue eyes and wear a lot of greys burgundys cool tones in general. Pewter works with all those tones beautifully even some coppers and golds. I rarely wear true warm tones, but when I do I switch to a copper liner.
I wear black and brown on a daily basis. But I enjoy blues and greens for a pop of color occasionally. I can’t wear purple because my eyes tend me to irritated afterwards.
Recently it’s been plum/aubergine. My favorite in the summer is always teal. I also love a deep, shimmery navy, mossy olivine, blue purples, taupe and gray to name a few 😉 As you can tell, I enjoy using lots of different colors.
I always use Chanel Clair on my waterline, it gives a lovely, yet subtle brightening effect.
NARS Snake Eyes (blackened green) or Ubuntu (navy) eye paints. I rarely wear black; sometimes a taupe YSL Bronze black (I hoarded the cream liners before they were d/c’d) or NARS Balbek eye paint
Dark Navy, Dark Charcoal or a Blackish Brown…no brights
I don’t really wear a lot of eyeliner – but when I do it is always teal as well.
Black or very dark brown.
I think we should all know your answer is teal lol. Any eye look you do you always add that teal liner and it works. For me, I’m just now getting into eye makeup more so I don’t really have a favorite. But I love how royal blue looks especially a metallic one. Just haven’t got my hands on one yet.
Other than black? Bronze, purple, teal.
Nats Madison Avenue. A dark gray.
navy blue <3 <3 <3
Black, blackened golds or blackened reds, or bright red.
For years, I have only used dark brown eyeliners. I have very dark brown eyes, and I really wasn’t comfortable venturing out of my rut. Then this year, after seeing so many posts on this site from people that were stepping out of that comfort zone and trying new colors for lips and eyes and everything, I have forced myself to try new colors. I am loving plums and bronze and gray and even cobalt blue now for my eyeliners. I have been shocked at the number of compliments that I received, which tells me that I need to push myself a little more often. Thanks for the inspiration!
I knew you’d say that, lol.
Mine would probably be black, bronze, or taupe.
Boring…brown or purple
A deep purple, preferably gel formulas like Nars in Tatar or Inglot.
Purple and teal!
Mint Green!!!
Black.
I love bronze and brown eyeliners, as I have brown eyes and black eyebrows, I feel brown eyeliners look softer than black. I’ve been forever looking for a bronze eyeliner (which is not too light and visibly shimmery).
I lime a dark Blue , dark brown, parole and black with gold just the NÃger,
Dark Blue, dark brown, and black with gold just at night,
Its eggplant purple and Navy blue 🙂
I love wearing different shades of blue. Blue really makes brown eyes pop
Yeah me too Teal !!! The best one !!!! Or green/teal !!! With rose gold or bronzy/gold makeup/copper, it’s perfect 😀 !!!
purple!
I’m very boring. Dark Brown.
