    How to wear turquoise eyeliner

    I feel like, when it comes to eyeliner placement, the waterline almost always come in last place. Sure, that’s where you’d apply a nude or beige liner when trying to open up your eyes, but, more often than not, it's the top lash line, just above the top lash line, and the bottom lash line that get all the glory.

    And so day five of the blue eye make-up challenge saw me not only making use of a pretty bright turquoise NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wear Liner (Abbey Road, $38, meccacosmetica.com.au), but also giving the underdog of the eyes its time to shine.

    For the last day, I applied as much of the striking hue as I could to my waterline and combined it with simple black liner and mascara. The result? My favourite eye look of the whole five-day challenge. And it couldn’t have been easier to achieve.

    Follow these steps to recreate the look for yourself:
    1) Using a black kohl or liquid liner, line your lid (just where your lashes start) from the inner corner of your eye to the outer corner. Keep the line thin at the outer corner and a bit thicker at the outer corner.
    2) Apply two-to-three coats of mascara to your top lashes.
    3) Take your turquoise pencil and line your waterline from corner to corner. For an extra punch, go over the line a couple of times. Oh, and make sure not to poke yourself in the eye. That hurts.

    Here are a few other turquoise liners you can try:

    COVERGIRL Ink It! Eyeliner in Aquamarine Ink
    Max Factor Excess Intensity Longwear Eyeliner in Excess Aqua
    Australis 10 Hour Wear Eye Pencil in Aqua Attack
    Rimmel London ScandalEyes Shadow Stick in Tempting Turquoise
    Essence Long lasting Eye Liner in Tu-Tu- Tourquoise
    Maybelline NY Color Show Kohl Liner in Turquoise Flash

    Do you ever apply coloured eyeliner to your waterline? Would you try adding some colour to your waterline?

    I'd actually apply this colour to the upper lashes. I think it would stand out more.

    I have a blue eyeliner, but I really love this turquoise as well.

    This colour is very pretty and quite wearable.

    I like the look but don't like the liquid eye liners I prefer eye pencils much better & still get great colours like these.

    Stunning!!! Love all of them and this look!

    emma_mcmuffin 24 Apr 2017 3:37 PM

    Some very pretty blues there!

    Miss19 13 Nov 2016 11:56 PM

    That is such a beautiful colour

    Africanaussie 21 Oct 2016 1:38 PM

    that looks beautiful, but I cannot put any product on my waterline, it is too irritating.

    thelifeoflaura 9 Apr 2016 3:28 PM

    I've never been game enough to try coloured eyeliner, I'm always too scared it won't suit me!

    sporty_ytl 14 Jan 2016 8:19 PM

    Can't wear anything on my waterline, unfortunately.

    Yohanna 29 Nov 2015 8:48 PM

    Great colour for night and day

    I have one of these by Eyes of Horus, I just love it

    TheUglyDuckling 22 Jul 2015 9:54 AM

    Yes! This is absolutely hot! Any excuse to buy NARS anything, really, but the colour is amazing!

    Looks lovely. I use black most of the time but when I actually use a colour I love it. Good reminder to re sharpen my pencils and add a little colour on these winter days!

    AndreaJW 19 Jan 2015 10:11 AM

    That looks pretty awesome.

    louuugonzales 1 Jan 2015 8:17 AM

    Love the look. I usually just use a turquoise eyeliner for both my water liner and upper lash line but I'll definitely try this look.

    great article

    stackcats 12 Nov 2014 11:49 PM

    I never use eyeliner on my waterline, as my eyes get irritated easily. And it's so hard to remove makeup from waterline :(

    Linda_Vesinger 9 Nov 2014 10:18 AM

    the turquoise is such a pretty shade - looks great on the waterline

    JohKool 22 Aug 2014 12:19 PM

    Thanks, I just got a mirenesse blue liquid eyeliner, and was thinking of passing it on...now I may play with it instead lol...great tips

    Arty Girl 22 Jul 2014 3:42 AM

    I agree with you, Carli. This is my favourite of your blue eye looks. It really defines your beautiful eyes and makes them stand out !!! I've only used Essence White Kajal on my waterline and even then, I needed Katshepsutt's advice as to how to apply it. I'll definitely experiment using other colours after seeing the difference that it has made on you :).
