Choosing the color of eyeliner may seem like a trifle, but it can dramatically change your look. That's why it's important to choose it wisely.

The two most popular eyeliner colors are black and brown. They both have their advantages and disadvantages, which were described by professional makeup artists Tomy Rivero and Carly Giglio.

Advantages of brown eyeliner

If you use black, your makeup options are somewhat limited, but if you work with brown, you have a choice of countless shades. If you have green eyes, you can choose a brown with a red hint to highlight them, and if you have blue eyes, try using copper tones.

Also, brown shades are inherently lighter and more subtle than black. They look less harsh on those with fair skin and eyes. Therefore, if you want to look more natural, choose them.

Advantages of black eyeliner

Black eyeliner is associated with classics, elegance, and boldness. It can add drama to any look. Therefore, more glamorous looks, such as cat and smoky eyes, tend to look better when done in black.

Also, unlike brown tones, which are more suitable for women with fair skin, hair, etc., black looks good on anyone.

Which eyeliner to choose?

The choice between black and brown eyeliner depends on many factors, including your style, color type, and the events you plan to attend.

By its nature, black is a more intense color than brown. Keep this in mind and choose black eyeliner when you want to have a dramatic look and brown eyeliner for a more subdued look.

In addition, consider your makeup skills. If you know how to draw arrows with your eyes closed, then there's no problem. However, if you are not confident in your movements, it is better to choose brown.

If you make a mistake with liquid black liner, it will be very difficult to remove it because the black streaks will be very noticeable and you will have to use a lot of micellar liquid.

Finally, apply both eyeliners on your eyes and see which one suits you better.
