Eyeliner 101

Stock your beauty kit with liners that will make your eye colour pop.

With so many shades of liner out there, it’s hard to know which one to choose. Though your fashion mood may dictate whether you go with purple or black, you should also consider the colour of your eyes. Certain shades of liner work better with your baby blues than others. Here’s a quick colour guide.

Brown or Hazel Eyes
• Everything from deep espresso to emerald green looks super hot on you, but if you really want your crush to notice you, stick with rich navy and purple tones. Your eyes will shine so bright he won’t be able to take his off of you.

Green Eyes
• Purple and warm browns look amazing on you. One shade that looks especially fab on you is bronze copper. Line along top lashes with a smudge of this rich metallic shade, then finish with a coat of green mascara on top lashes only.

Blue Eyes
• Copper, gold and anything with a yellowish undertone will make your eyes come alive. Try rimming your entire eye with a chestnut brown, and then layer a 24-karat shadow on top. The result: slick, sexy and seriously smokin’.
