I’d probably wear it on the lower waterline with a neutral eyeshadow, lots of mascara, and maybe a thin line of black eyeliner on top (my eyes don’t look awake with eyeliner on top haha).

I’d use it on the lower waterline for a pop of colour with a bright yellow, green or purple based look. For that matter, it’d go great with a kind of sunset orange look, too.

Alternatively, all over the lid as a nice base for a pretty turquoise look, or – ooh, paired with bubblegum pink eyeshadow and lips.

If I’m up to it, I use it as a cat eyeliner with a neutral eyeshadow and soft crease contour. Loads of mascara, pink cheek and a nude pink lip.

These technakohls would definitely add a pop of color to any look, i’d use it as a contrasting line of color for the bottom waterline, an inner or outer pop of color on the lid, and as a base for extra vibrant eye shadow wear.

This liner would definitely bring alot of pop to my brown eyes. It’s not often I wear bright colors out in public. But I can use several netural colors I have at home with this liner. I can use it for creating dramatic looks.

I would use those liner as eyeshadow!
I think just wearing them against eyelashes and fading them out all over lid and crease would be super cool!

Lisa Avatar

I’d make a neutral look POP by using it on my top lashline or my waterline. I love using colorful liners on my waterline.

I think I would go with a neutral eye as well with this bright color. Its so much fun that I would have to wear to work! Hope to win! Thanks!

Michelle Avatar

I would wear this under my lower lashline with olive/green shadows and black eyeliner. It might sound unusual but this is what I think will look gorgeous.

Mikki Avatar

I would wear it with a neutral eye, on the lower lash line. That will make the eyes pop 🙂
Or I would use it as a base for any bright eyeshadow!

Dude, I’d wear this stuff everywhere. As part of an everyday look, apply a small amount and then smudge it, or, if going out at night, apply it more heavily.

Following on twitter under tiakivla.

Redhead (hi) Avatar

It’s a simple, quick eye that brings out my irises, brightens my eyes and still packs a *ton* of color. 😀

Eyes: A neutral base like MAC Paint in Bare Canvas all over the eye area, lashlines and lower waterline, a warm neutral like MAC Soba or something pink-peachy the Body Shop’s Sunset Peach Shimmer Puff (DEAD RINGER for Nars Orgasm!) to bring out my blue eyes, Artistic License technakohl on the upper lashline in a medium-thick, crisp line and smudged on the lower lashline, a matte navy blue liner like MAC Powerpoint Pencil in Prussian (try saying that three times fast, lol) on my waterline to brighten eyes, Maybelline Full ‘n’ Soft in Black for classic, fluffy black lashes.

Cheeks: Something peachy but not too bright, like a light application of MAC Enough Said or Springsheen.

Lips: Good ‘ol lip balm. Make it tinted (try a peachy shade – Burts Bees Lip Shimmer in Caramel) if your lips aren’t very pigmented.

Brigitte Avatar

I think a lot of us would wear it the same way hah! I’d do a light pink neutral eye and then wear Artistic License on my lower lashline for that pop of color~

i would either line the bottom with a neutral eye, or wear it as a base to make blues pop, or do something like a summer sky eye with yellow on the lid and blue to line

Janet Avatar

I would wear this by putting a line of this over black eyeliner on the top lash line or put it on the bottom lash line with black eyeliner on the top.

Kajsa Avatar

As I always put kohlliners on my lower lashline, so that’s where it’s going to be to. I always try to use a complete different color on my lower lashline, then the shadow color on my lids.
For instants natural colors on lids -> blue on the lower lashline, just to spice it up a bit!

I’d wear it with a neutral brown look. I’ve got blue eyes so this turquoise would really make my eyes pop as well as adding some kick to the neutral colors.

Lyndsay Avatar

I would wear this with a smokey eye of greys. I think that would bring this color out best. A nude lip, leave the attention on the pop of color. I would have it placed in the waterline

Wilcoa Avatar

I think I would wear it with rice paper and off the page e/s (stick some melon over off the page to give it a bit more shimmer). Then wear a nude lip and some gloss, with bronzer on the cheeks.

ringevermeer Avatar

i would draw a thin line of it on my lower lash line while i had a neutral eye to make it pop!

I would put it all over the lid as a base, place Haunting on top, smoke it out with Carbon, and then line the water line with the Artistic License again.

I’d wear it on my lower lashline with a light gold and bronze eye combo, with a brown/bronze eyeliner on my upper lashline, both slightly winged out (and mascara of course).

I would wear this on my lower lashline for a pop of colour, use it as a base for blue eyeshadows, or I would use it to make a medium-thick line on my upper lashline with a very thin line of black right against the lashes

Rosie Avatar

I would wear it with a more neutral but possibly glittery e/s on the lid like Midnight Cowboy Rides again and then have this as the bottom lashline color and maybe bring the blue up to the outer part of the upper lashline.

I’d wear Artistic License on my upper and lower water line with a purple/black smokey eye….And I also would use it with a brown smokey eye, under/and slightly above a brown eyeliner on my lash line and have Artistic License wing out.

Eunice Avatar

i’d wear this on the waterline with very black mascara on the lashes. i’ll probably top it all off with a touch of black eyeliner on the uppper lashline.

Madeleine Avatar

I would use it as a base for haunting eye shadow, then smoke it out with a dark grey brown colour on the crease. Also apply some on the bottom lashes and smoke out with violet trance.

For a fun look, I’ll probably use it as an eye liner on it’s own for a pop of colour.

Daisy Avatar

I would first line my upper lids with the technakhol – artistic license, letting the line draw out a bit past my lid. Then draw a thin line around my eyes using Fluidline – Blacktrack. After that I’d use Plush Lash Mascara. Then leave my lips neutral but adding a little bit of lustre using Lipstick – Semi-Anual.

amani Avatar

i think it would look good with a cotton candy eye. like yogurt as a highlight and in the inner corner then haunting in the middle and dear cupcake an the outer corner with artistic licence in the waterline

Shanon Avatar

I love eyeliner i can’t go a day without it! I would use this to to line my eyes on top and bottom and then smudge it out to create a smokey look.

I would wear it as a second line of eyeliner right above a black liner. This way my eyes would still be defined with the black and then really pop with the blue!!

I would definitely wear it is an accent liner on my bottom lid. It would give a great, unexpected pop of bright color! This shade is lovely for fall.

I would totally rock the eyeliner with a thick winged line across the top of the lid. A contoured face and a nude gloss would work fantastic!!

KrisBliss Avatar

I would love to wear this on my waterline (upper & lower) and maybe use as a base to add pigment to, like Deep Blue Green to make it more blue and not so dark! I think there would be so many ways to wear this liner that that possiblities are endless…!

Gaby Avatar

This eyeliner is instense! I’d definitely want to test it out on my waterline, upper lashline as well as on my lid (just above my lashline) just to see where it looked best! But I am a fan of waterline color, so I’d probably use it there the most! 🙂

Waterline for suuure. Especially since I use the technakol liners on my waterline daily/to keep in my purse…
It’d be great to have this color since they don’t have bright technakols in the permanent line, and I’ve been wanting a bright one to wear when I have boring neutral eyeshadow on =)

just #ff (#followfriday) ‘d you last friday!

I would pair it with a darker blue/purple eyeshadow like violet trance to make the eyes pop from a background of darker colour.

The best way i would use this color would be by creating a pin up doll look and using the liner above my lashline kinda smuding it out a bit and focusing the boldest area at the outter edge of my eye and wing it out

I’d wear it as a bottom liner with probably a light colored shadow on top and also on the waterline. I’d probably also use it as a base for a crease color 🙂

Amber Avatar

I have a passion for eyeliner! I’ve got blonde eyelashes that I try to hide constantly. Only way to do that is liner and mascara. I’d wear it with pretty much everything, be it simple or dramatic, (I love doing silver/grey smokey eyes.) with whatever look I was going for that day. Always gotta have the right liner. 🙂

Grace Avatar

I would wear it to help bring out my eyes with a very neutral look for the rest of the face.
