11 Blue Eyeliners We’re Obsessed With

Have you switched up your makeup look lately? If you can’t remember the last time you did so, then now is probably the time. Say goodbye to the classics – black cat-eye liner and nude cut creases have a time and a place, but why not try a colourful graphic liner look to switch things up? We’re big fans of colourful eye makeup looks, but if you’re a newbie, then simple slick of bright eyeliner can be a great way to start. You have every colour of the rainbow at your fingertips, but blue eyeliner looks are a perfect starting point because blue actually brings out the best of most eye colours and skin tones. Understandably, a bright colour can be intimidating. Still, nothing complements brown eyes like a few flicks of navy-blue eyeliner or suits green eyes like a swipe of teal or turquoise liner. 

To kit you out for your upcoming blue eye makeup looks, we’ve rounded up some of the best blue eyeliners for you to choose from. Whether you’re feeling a royal blue, navy blue, or you’re torn between a kohl or gel formula, here are 11 blue eyeliners we’re obsessed with.  

Aside from its popping pastel blue pigment, the BY BEAUTY BAY Crayon Liner brings a lot to the table. The creamy crease-proof formula is like no other – drying to a soft matte finish that lasts all day (and night). Thanks to a super-fine tip, this is one of the best blue eyeliners for the waterline, and whether on the lid or waterline, it won’t fade, smudge, or flake.

The about-face Line Artist delivers a vivid pop of pigment with a waterproof and smudge-proof formula that will impress you every time. The vibrant cobalt blue shade spices up any look with incredible colour payoff wherever you go. Oh, and if you’re wondering whether you can wear blue eyeliner if you have blue eyes, the answer is yes – and this is the perfect hue of blue.

HALF MAGIC’s Glitterpill Eye Paint & Liner is the liner that’ll have you taking a step back from the mirror to admire your craft. This is one of the best gel blue eyeliners we’ve tried since the formula is buildable and delivers glittery, multi-dimensional goodness with every swipe – no fallout included.

The Made By Mitchell’s All Smudge No Budge Liner does exactly what it says on the tin. This royal blue eyeliner is perfect for amplifying makeup looks or wearing on its own – and the vibrant shade really stands out on darker skintones. The creamy but quick-drying formula lets you smudge your way to a smouldering smoky eye or pack a punch of pigment on the waterline before it locks into place.

MAC’s Colour Excess Gel Pencil Eyeliner is an incredible turquoise blue shade which really complements brown eyes. Formulated with Line-Lock Technology, the gel formula glides smoothly on to deliver 24+ hours of high-definition pigment that is sure to turn heads.

A singular stroke of the Pley Let It Linger 12-Hour Eyeliner promises so much; rich colour, 12-hour wear, and intense definition. The creamy, gel-like formula makes it easy to apply and the metallic aqua tone flatters every eye colour (especially green eyes). You’re welcome.

You don’t have to be a professional makeup artist if you’re using Glisten Cosmetics’ Wet Liner in the shade Seltzer. This water-activated liner is surprisingly easy to use and lends itself to both minimal and editorial makeup looks. If you have sensitive eyes, this is a great pick.

You heard it here first; Estee Lauder’s Smoke & Brighten Kajal Eyeliner Duo is one of the best eyeliners for the waterline since the cool-toned shade really makes your eye colour pop. Apply the pastel blue shade to the waterline on the lower half of your eyes, then use the black kajal liner to add a classic cat-eye flick above to double the drama.

Everyone needs Suva Beauty’s Hydra Liner in the shade Freezie in their collection. The water-activated formula gives you a super saturated and totally opaque line with one swipe. Be warned, once it’s dried it won’t smudge, bleed, or move – so act quickly.

Calling all with green eyes! It’s shimmery, it’s multi-dimensional, it’s micro-sparkle – it’s Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in the shade LSD. This blue eyeliner scores some serious points for its ability to amplify any eye look with its powerful metallic pigment, while the jojoba oil and vitamin E-infused formula shows your lashline some love 24/7.

The florence by mills’ What’s My Line? Eyeliner in the shade Rolling, allows you to enhance your eye colour with its bright pastel blue shade. What’s more, the creamy, crease-proof formula delivers 12-hour wear so your looks will last all day long.
