Eyeliner is definitely a makeup staple, but everyone has different preferences when it comes to which eyeliner color is best. Some say black eyeliner makes the whites of eyes pop, while others swear that brown is the most versatile pick. To settle the score once and for all, three editors duke it out and make a case for black, brown and blue eyeliners, ahead. The Case for Black EyelinerFor as long as I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with the look of graphic eye makeup. I love how black liners make my brown eyes pop and serve as a nice contrast to my olive complexion. Not to mention, it instantly adds an edgy touch. I’ll always be a black eyeliner stan because to me, it’s the simplest way to achieve editorial-looking makeup with just a flick of a brush or pen, no messing with intricate colors or other neutrals required.
