Best Alternatives to Black Eyeliner
Happy Top Ten Tuesday! This time we’re bringing you the top ten best alternatives to black eyeliner. I’m guilty of sticking to black eyeliner more than anything. I do this because I have hooded eyes and I’ve been told that the most flattering way for someone with hooded eyes to wear eyeliner is to put black eyeliner on the upper waterline and at the lash line to open up the eyes. I tend to wear my black eyeliner on the upper and lower waterline.
Below are my alternatives to black or brown.
Wearing Solomon Islands on the lower waterline
1. NARS Solomon Islands
turquoise blue
Wearing Intergalactic on the lower waterline
2. NARS Interstellar
silver
Wearing Iskandar on the lower waterline
3. NARS Iskandar
gold
Wearing Transvaal at the outer lid
4. NARS Transvaal
grey
Wearing Ether at the outer lower lash line
5. Urban Decay Ether
pale smoky gray shimmer with violet and fuchsia micro-sparkle
L to R Freak – Loaded – Junkie – Mainline – invasion
6. Urban Decay Junkie
metallic teal shimmer with gold micro-sparkle
L to R Woodstock – Asphyxia – Ether – Psychedelic Sister – Vice – Delinquent – Empire
7. Urban Decay Vice
Red-based purple eggplant with red and blue micro-shimmer.
Wearing LSD on the outer lower lash line
8. Urban Decay LSD
navy shimmer with bright turquoise micro-sparkle
Wearing Spandex along the lower lash line
9. Urban Decay Spandex (vegan)
deep blue-black with iridescent glitter
See swatches of the Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliners. See swatches of NARS Eye Paints. See swatches of Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliners.
My current top three blacks are NARS Black Valley, Smashbox Deep Black and Urban Decay Perversion.
I had to leave out some of my favorite liners because I think they’re being discontinued. Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof liquid eyeliner in Siren (metallic teal) and El Dorado (gold).
I’m still looking for the perfect purple gel eyeliner. Maybe Inglot AMC Eyeliner Gel in 83 or 82 will be that perfect purple shade.
