    Default Any of you wear BROWN eyeliner??

    Being half Mexican, olive skinned, and brunette most of my life, I always thought I needed black eyeliner to make my eyes pop. I always thought brown would be too weak and boring. Not enough contrast.

    I was wrong!! I now love brown eyeliner. It defines my eyes without standing out as eyeliner and is sexy without looking unnatural. Perfect for daytime or when you have a date and want to be "naturally hot" around the boy.

    I am using Fluidline in Dipdown right now and it's great! If you haven't tried brown eyeliner yet or thought it was only for the super pale, go get some!!

    I'll try to get around to doing a daytime "naturally hot" tutorial next week. If guys only knew what the naturally hot look meant!

    I've been using an Almay brown pencil liner for daytime and it's great! I was a black eyeliner addict since H.S. and I could never give it up...I just felt like the brown would be invisible. I tried it since I had a brown brow pencil and it looks GREAT! Good tip LR...I hope more girls give brown a chance.
    If everything you try is a sure thing, you aren't taking enough risks. If you never fail, you put a limit on the degree to which you can succeed. In short, the only way to win big is to risk losing

    I use Mac's kohl liner in Teddy. It's more of a golden brown.

    LR I agree completely.

    I wore a dark brown yesterday for an audition. It gives a great natural look, but really makes the eyes stand out.

    I also hardly ever wear black on the lower lash line, but with brown I feel really comfortable lining the whole eye.

    I've been using the wonderousness that is brown eyeliner for a LONG ass time. 15 years at least. Hehehee! It depends on what I'm wearing! I also use white, blue, red, green, purple, and of course black.

    Yes! I like a dark brown/expresso color. There's supposed to be a great 'holy grail' one sold @ Walgreens. I can't think of the brand, its color is called coffee, & its like one of those roll up type.
    I also used one by Norma Kamali. I don't think it's still avail. It was a perfect dark brown color.

    I'm also half Mexican/Irish/American. I have been using brown liner forever.

    But earlier this year, I discovered Smashbox cream liners. I rock all kinds of liners for work: turquiose, forest green, gold, black and even a pinky-bronze. For the daytime, I use a basic brown, light gold or a muted olive green.

    I wear brown eyeliner for a natural look or combine it with black liner when I do my smokey eye look. I love it.

    Black seems to severe to me, and I reserve it for work or out nights.
    Brown eyeliner is my staple for natural hot look, and my favorite everyday look.
    I like a bronze eyeshadow with brown eyeliner, and dark brown mascara. Black just look to harsh for me.

    I like brown too for day or night. Very versatile; you can make it dramatic or light.

    I love brown eyeliner, i use it for daytime mostly. Daytime look tutorial is a great idea I cant wait.

    LatinaRose had a questin for you, I have this pretty green shadow from MAC called humid, do you have any tips what colors to blend it with other than light green, sometimes i feel like an elf when I use too much green, last night I blended it with gold but I wasnt crazy about that look.

    I'm with Lady Jade!

    I have a wonderful brown liner from Clinique that I regularly use, and then I have a metallic bronze liner (in the pot from mac) that I use when I want it to stand out more.

    I am pale and Scottish with blue eyes. I LOVE brown eyeliner! It makes my eyes pop loud, without looking trashy or painted. It enhances my freckles and very often I don't need any other makeup besides brown eyeliner and brown mascara. I love love love it. I don't wear any other color eyeliner except on rare occasion.

    I'm half asian with an olive/yellowish skin tone. I always use very black eyeliner to make my brown eyes look dramatic and stick out more. Brown seems too tame for my taste, but I would love to see how to make it work for me.

    if i'm doing my 'natural' day face then i use a coffee brown eyeliner. i love it. sometimes black is too much for my skin during the day.

    side story: this blond girl who i see going to her office job in the morning has her entire lid below the fold line coated in either black eyeliner or black pigment/eyeshadow. in the DAY on a pale, blond girl. what is she thinking?

    I love the Revlon colorstay pencils in brown. They have a gentle bronzey shimmer that makes them gorgeous and they are totally cheap. I'll never buy expensive pencils again.

    Thanks for the post, brown is something I never considered before. During the day I usually nix eyeliner all together, today i used a coppery brown and I love it! You really can't tell all that much, that I am wearing anything, it just frames it nicely. YAY

    I too have a dark complexion, and I prefer to use grey and brown liner on occasion, since it makes eyes pop w/out looking too obvious.
