?5 Eyeliner Mistakes You’re Probably Making, According To A Makeup Artist

Guilty as charged! Don’t be afraid to step outside the dark-hued liners. Black and other dark shades are a knockout for special occasions and fun looks, but for every day wear, too dark can look too heavy for the rest of your look.

“I love black liner so much, but don’t be afraid to lighten it up. Especially if you’re fair skinned, try to tone down the black liner,” Greenberg says.

The Fix: Mix it up and blend. “I love blending black and brown together for a more organic look. I love color…some blues or purples are fun, too. Switch it up!” If you keep it subtle, you’ll get a look more appropriate for everyday wear.
