It seems the most common eyeliner color is black. It comes in such a wide variety of colors, though. So I was wondering do any of you wear eyeliner of colors other than black or brown?
I typically only wear black eyeliner. In the past I have worn other colors, like gold, white, purple and teal. I usually just buy cheap colored eyeliners at dollar tores or Walmart, because they are so cheap and I don't have to worry about spending a lot of money on something I might not like. Sometimes I mix some water wih my brightly colored eye shadows and use it for colored eyeliner.

Firstly, I would like to say that I absolutely love the "mixing water with the eye shadow" idea. I will try that for sure.
Only recently have I started experimenting with colors and it is so fun! I was into black and brown eyeliner prior to this.
My sister gifted me 2 Maybelline eyestudio eyeliner pencils. 1 is a lovely blue and the other is a beautiful green. They are shimmery shades. I love using these. They are just stunning. Wish I had discovered these eyeliner shades when I was still in college.
Great topic! Thanks for the idea once again ;)

The mixing of water and eyeliner is a fun way to get a whole bunch of colors for eyeliner that you wouldn't be able to find other ways. One year I got a large make up train case that had like 40 eye shadows in it, so it gave me a ton of new colors to try for eyeliner as well...which was soooo much fun.
Those two shimmery shades you got sound like they'd be really cool.

I've never even thought of wearing any colour but black.
I did see a television cilp saying that white eyeliner is good to use to widen the eyes. I have always wanted to try it but have never gotten around to buying some diferent coloured liners.
I like the mixing water with eyeshadow idea, I may experiment with that myself.

I've heard the thing about white eyeliner making your eyes seem wider. I can never get white eyeliner to look right when I try, though. The mixing of water and eyeshadow thing is something I learned forever ago in magazine. The water just makes it a little bit darker or something and makes it easier to make a line with it.

I use blue, glitter green, glitter silver and black eye liners my self. :) I like glittery eye liners the most they look nice.

yes! I love clored eyeliner.
Normally I rim the bottom rim with black, and then do colored on top.I've found Hot Topic makes some AWESOME colored eyeliners, and they are only $1.99 each, so it's not a huge deal if you hate the colors once you ty them out.
I've used every color they make (almost,lol), and they have definitely come out with some bright ones, from cupcake pink (neon pink) to turquoise, to glitter purple. They are awesome.

I love Coloured Eyeliners! My favourite colours a navy blue and green. I espeacailly like the eyelines with sparkles they make my eyes pop and shimmer. I always receive compliments whenever I wear coloured eyeliner. I like Shepora Silver greeen or covergirl products.

Wooo color eyeliner is also avialable in the market I dont know about it thanks for sharing the discussion. I not use eyeliner but my daughter use it. But I think color eyeliner may damage the skin what you think about it.

I have used white eye liner and its effects are as real as there is a nose on your face. The thing about using it is that it has to be applied on the edge of your lower eyelid.
I use green eyeliner sometimes. I've always loved green eyeshadow and how it looks on my skin tone. So I figured green eyeliner won't be so bad. I only use it when there's nothing else on my face though. Kinda like when you're wearing a dress with black and white print and you're wearing red shoes.
