I’ve always had a bit of an obsession with blue eyeliner, but as of late, it has gotten a bit out of control 🙂 I am perfectly OK with my obsession. It is a bit of fun, and adds a bit of interest to a simple makeup look.
The 80’s called and said, ‘Well done you’re doing a better job with it than we did!’ 🙂
Aqua or turquoise tend to be my blue eyeliner shades of choice, but I do dabble in other hues.
My most recent favourite and probably the one that gets the most questions, is the Inglot AMC Gel Liner in 70.
This is more of a matte sky blue.


Inglot gel liners are some of the best I’ve ever used. They last so well and come in a plethora of colours. I use this mostly in my waterline for a fun pop of colour. But a slick of it on the top lash line and lashings of mascara, looks awesome too!
TOP TIP: If your gel liner is starting to dry out, use something like Inglot Duraline. (Review here). Or Paese Drop & Fix to bring it back to life.
The shade that sparked my turquoise obsession was the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil in ‘Electric’. This is just the perfect vivid turquoise shade with a bit of sparkle I have ‘Gonzo’ too which is similar, but matte.


The Urban Decay Pencils are super creamy and last really well. A lot of more affordable brands do their own awesome version of this shade.
I have two here from Essence and Note Cosmetics that I love aswell.


I use this shade the same as I would the sky blue. On the top lash line and in the waterline. I love to smudge it out on the lower lash line too, even with some matching shadow on top to intensify it.
Now I can’t talk about blue eyeliner and not throw navy into the mix. It’s such a great alternative to black or brown.
I did have a liquid one, but I seem to have misplaced it (duh). I love a navy winged line, I think it looks great on all eye colours. It adds a hint of something different without being over the top dramatic. It works beautifully in the water line, and on the lower lash line too though. These ones are from Barry M and another one of the Essence Longlasting Eye Pencils.


I would like to thank my lovely blogging pal Sinéad from The Beautiful Truth for inspiring this post. She has been killing the blue liner at the mo. And the lovely Yav aka Makeup Monster. I had put a pic of all of the blue in my collection up on my Instagram a little while ago. It was her that told me I need to write a post. Thanks gals 🙂
The only question left to ask is….would you rock blue eyeliner?
