The best eyeliner colours for blue eyes are blues, greens, and warm-toned browns like copper and bronze. Discover my tips and tricks for complementing, contrasting and enhancing the look of blue eyes...

Blue eyes and blue eyeliner are a makeup match made in heaven! Whether it’s used as a perfect pop to the waterline or a vibrant take on winged liner, a shade of blue eyeliner pairs perfectly with the deep, sapphire sparkle that blue eyes naturally possess. To coordinate your eyeliner with your blue eyes, reach for my Rock N Kohl kajal eyeliner pencil in Sapphire Nights. This shade is a vibrant, jewel-toned metallic with beautiful blue sparkle – it’s a gorgeous blue eyeliner for blue eyes, making the aquatic tones in your eyes appear brighter, deeper and dreamier.
If you prefer a matte eyeliner look and want to experiment with blue eyeliner, discover my Eye Colour Magic Liner Duo in Super Blue. This eyeliner duo features a navy-blue eyeliner that complements blue eyes beautifully. The matte, midnight shade is cool toned with plenty of depth and can be used to define the upper lash line or tightline to give your gaze a smouldering, pensive appearance. It also features a complementary cobalt blue eyeliner with crystalline shimmer that’s expertly designed to bring out the blue tones in your eyes and make them glow.
If you have a blue-green eye colour, I recommend applying a green eyeliner for blue eyes to bring out the green tones and make them appear more prominent. Blue and green are neighbours on the colour wheel which means they are extremely close in tone; because of this, they look extremely flattering alongside one another and are easy to use in tandem. To experiment with green eyeliner, reach for my Rock N Kohl kajal eyeliner pencil in Hypnotic Peacock to give your eye makeup to metallic glow of emerald jewels. This hypnotic shade complements the cool-toned sparkle of blue eyes while adding a dreamy pop of green.
Tilbury Tip: Chartreuse and forest green are also extremely flattering eyeliner colours for blue eyes, especially piercing, light-blue eyes with flashes of green. Get the look with my Eye Colour Magic Liner Duo in Green Lights.
Much like blue and green, purple and blue have common colour traits and can work harmoniously in your makeup look. Purple eyeliner can add depth and dimension to blue-eyed makeup looks while appearing softer than a black or dark brown. They are an easy way to play with coloured eyeliner on blue eyes without venturing too far from your comfort zone. I created my Rock N Kohl kajal eyeliner in Fig Smoulder for this exact purpose; it gives your eye makeup a buildable and blendable pop of purple that’s easy to diffuse while still giving your eyes that smouldering effect.

According to colour theory, you will need an orange shade of eyeliner to perfectly contrast your blue eyes. If you have blue eyes, darlings, I suggest adding a copper eyeliner to your eye makeup look because they have a super-flattering blend of gold, orange and brown tones that produce eye-enhancing light play. Copper shades are the perfect opposite to your blue eyes and can make them appear bolder, brighter, and more magnetising! I created my Eye Colour Magic Liner Duo in Copper Charge with a warm matte brown and a metallic copper – it’s my perfect eyeliner combination for enhancing the look of blue eyes. They say opposites attract, darlings, and a flash of copper eyeliner to the lash line is sure to make your blue eyes POP!
While warm, orange-based browns like copper and rust are perfect opposites for blue eyes, earthy neutrals and glistening golden browns can also look super flattering. Reaching for smokier shades like taupes and espresso browns can give blue eyes that smouldering look, and shimmering bronze tones can make the blues in your eyes pop. I love to accentuate the look of blue eyes with my Rock N Kohl kajal eyeliner in Smokey Bronze – it’s a soft, metallic bronze that’s perfect for smoking along the lash line and it looks especially beautiful on blue eyes.
Burgundy is the best of both worlds, darlings… If you are looking for a pop of colour to enliven the look of your blue eyes but also love the soft, understated look of brown eyeliner, burgundy eyeliner is the perfect balance of the two. Red tones look striking on blue eyes and are an easy way to build contrast with your eye makeup, however, there’s something about the rich, deep hues of burgundy eyeliner that make it super flattering on blue eyes and so easy to wear. My burgundy eyeliner in my famous Walk of No Shame shade is the secret to giving your blue eyes a beautifying, blown-out burgundy eyeliner look.

My famous Feline Flick works with every eye colour, darlings, and what better shade to complete your look with than a classic Bedroom Black? From a subtle cat-eye effect to a sky-high winged eyeliner, adding a blacker-than-black eyeliner to your blue eyes will accentuate your eye colour and give your eye makeup dreamy definition and dimension. Get the look with my Rock N Kohl kajal eyeliner pencil in Bedroom Black, my effortless, artistry-inspired eyeliner pencil that’s essential for mastering your eye makeup, whether you’re tightlining, smoking out the lower lash line or sketching out a flawless flick.
Tilbury Tip: If you prefer to use a liquid eyeliner to accentuate the appearance of your blue eyes, discover The Feline Flick in Panther. It’s my easy-to-use black liquid eyeliner pen for super-precise, super-black eyeliner looks!
I created my Pillow Talk Eyeliner to suit everyone, everywhere! My Pillow Talk look is all about soft, ethereal beauty… I created the most beautiful, rich berry-brown eyeliner shade that looks magical alongside every colour. It’s so soft and blendable which makes it perfect for creating effortless, everyday eyeliner looks. You can use my Pillow Talk Eyeliner to sketch out a subtle wing that lifts the look of your eyes, or the glide close to the lash line for a minimalistic eyeliner look that subtly enhances your natural beauty.
One of the best eyeliner colours for blue eyes is a classic nude shade for gliding through the waterline. Tracing your waterline with a light, illuminating shade gives the illusion of brighter, more open eyes and helps the whites of your eyes appear brighter and every eye colour to appear more saturated. My Sleep Cheat Liner Duo features a peachy-nude shade that works as a universal eye brightener, awakening the look of your eyes with subtle shimmer to help them appear full of life and wide awake. The creamy formula glides comfortably across the waterline and is formulated with up to a 16-hour wear time, creating bright-eyed, blue-eyed makeup looks that last!
