My eyes are green, like 2% of the population’s. I’m also an INFJ, also like 2% of the population. To bring out my eyes’ verdant hue, I test out a lot of brown eyeliners. A strange amount. How many do I love?

About 2%.

Brown/orange is opposite green on the color wheel, hence it enhances green eyes the most. Nostalgia note: Almay had that eyeliner/eye shadow range in the ‘90s that was dedicated to this very concept. CoverGirl had a similar collection in the early aughts with Taylor Swift and Rihanna. Please comment if you remember either of these epic ranges—both were dope.

Anywho. My favorite brown eyeliner of late is a Korean one I bought on Amazon that costs a mere $10. Ten. American. Dollars.
