Can anyone recommend a nice everyday eyeliner that will compliment green/grey eyes (not black or brown)

Ooh watching with interest.

I have grey/blue/sludge eyes- I wear dark brown eyeshadow as a softer eye liner option.

Browns tend to make my eyes look blood shot :(
I'm using Mac powersurge at mo which is like a golden brown which I really like but want something different to make a change, maybe a grey/green

I have a Stila waterproof liquid liner that is like a shimmery gunmetal grey that I love and a Barry M light grey one. I have grey eyes but don't care about that, just wear colours I fancy that day.

Purple would look nice, look for a dark shade though.

NotTodaySatan · 26/10/2015 19:51

Taupe or purple.

Urban Decay 24/7 pencils are the best on the market and the range of colours is unreal.

I wear soft turquoise. My eyes are sludgey grey.

I like silver grey. My eyes are greenish.

purple eyeshadow and green eyeliner. sounds gross but its not, it looks lovely.

buy loads of cheapy make up from MUA and have some fun trying new colours

I have grey/green eyes and like Clinique's Intense Peacock quick liner for eyes. My favourite shade though is bronze, I have a Bare Mineral bronze liner which is good and Rimmel do one in their Scandaleyes range too. The Maybelline The Nudes eye shadow pallet is great and has two bronzes which I love and make my eyes really green. I use a Sali Hughes tip and often put the eyeshadow on over a thin black eyeliner.

Purple. Maybelline do a lovely violet gel liner in a pot that really stays put.

I love taupes shot with purple. Subtle gold looks great too. Basically anything except reddish browns. UD24/7 vary a bit, my anthracite gray one smudges a lot, I actually prefer cheap Kiko stuff. The new taupe Zoeva palette is on my lust list, but I have a stack of other palettes to go through first.

The Lush liquid eyeliners come in interesting colours, but my favourite is the mid brown one ( I have grey eyes). I find them really easy to apply as well.

HopefulAnxiety · 26/10/2015 23:45

Sleek Eau La La Liners are for eyes or lips and have some nice darker purples. Maybelline Color Tattoo, Barry M gel pencils, or Collection felt tip liners are great cheapy options.

I have a grey Mac liner that love (greeny-blue eyes). I've tried lots of other colours but I always end up going back to it.
It's a darkish grey from the Technikohl range.

Have a look at the Charlotte Tilbury Chameleon eye pencils. They are designed to complement particular eye colours. I have two and they have great staying power.

Navy blue is the best for your eye colour - the blue makes the green in your eyes stand out and makes your whites look whiter. Also looks less harsh than black on light coloured eyes.

AvonleaAnne · 27/10/2015 05:52

I like the Estée Lauder blackened colours. The blackened plum and blackened sapphire look nice with my grey/green eyes. I have dark brown hair though.

Indecisivejo · 27/10/2015 06:42

Thanks everyone :)
I will take a look at some of these suggestions next time I'm shopping. My eyes are very sensitive though so need one that's also gentle.
