Eyeliner for Your Eye Color

June 26, 2024

Most people think of black eyeliner but choosing your eyeliner shade based on your eye color can really make your eyes pop. Look at what color eyeliner complements your specific eye shade and try something besides for a classic black eyeliner.  

Eyeliner For Brown Eyes:

Bronze and gold eyeliners bring out the warm tones in brown eyes. If you're looking for a color, plum eyeliner is a great, complementary choice as well.

Eyeliner For Blue Eyes:

If you have blue eyes try opting for a brown eyeliner. The softness of a brown shade can help define the eyes without overpowering their natural color. This combination is much more subtle and softer than a black eyeliner. 

Eyeliner For Green Eyes:

If you have green eyes, try a grey eyeliner. The softer tone of grey can enhance the green hues in your eyes, and be super flattering. Alternatively, since red is directly across from green on the color wheel, try a burgundy eyeliner to complement green eyes.

Eyeliner For Grey Eyes:

Grey eyes can pop with the contract of a blue eyeliner. At bareMinerals we have two shades of blue, Sapphire, a rich navy, and Aquamarine, a peacock blue that you can experiment with to find your perfect pairing.


Remember, the key to finding the perfect eyeliner shade is to experiment and have fun with different colors, and even using more than one. By choosing the right eyeliner shade for your eye color, you can enhance your natural beauty and create stunning eye makeup looks that highlight your unique features.
