A bold black cat-eye liner and a sharp cut crease will always be up there with the classics, but nothing compares to a simple swipe of coloured eyeliner to effortlessly complement any skin tone or eye makeup look.
Green eyeliner might sound frightening and well out of your comfort zone but we can assure you it’s the best way to switch up an ordinary makeup look and make your eye colour pop, especially if you have brown, blue, or green eyes.
This is particularly true for green eyeliner because it offers so much versatility. It can be paired with a daring eyeshadow look, used to create countless graphic liner looks, or be the perfect introduction to colourful eye makeup looks for a newbie. Whether you want to try something new or are a fan of smudged or bold looks, you can make your own rules for eyeliner, so you won’t find yourself googling ‘how to wear or apply green eyeliner’.
The point is, eyeliner is a sure-fire way to stand out from any crowd, so if you’re ready to take your liner looks to the next level but need some inspiration, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve rounded up some of our fave green eyeliner looks for you try.
