Brown is softer and can be more flattering than black (it’s also less ageing). Pile on this chocolate liner, in and outside the waterline, followed by lashings of black mascara to add intensity.

Dark blue liner looks great on anyone with brown eyes or hair. This sultry cobalt hue has a real intensity to it; wear with softly bronzed skin or if you’re feeling daring play up your lips too with a slick of crimson.

Use this pencil with an uber sharp tip and get in close to the lash line for a hint of colour that will bring out brown or blue eyes. If you’re feeling more daring, warm up the pencil between your fingers then draw a thick line, smudging up and out with the sponge brush provided to create a soft, smoky, rounded shape seen at Zac Posen. Then use a blue liner (like the Avon one) to line the eyes and finish with black mascara.

Great on blondes, this delicate silver liner is ideal for adding a hint of shimmer to the inner corners of the eyes to brighten, or along the lash line. Alternatively, work all over the lid and blend with an eyeshadow brush for a pretty wash of colour.

If you can’t bear to part from your beloved black liner, steer clear of getting stuck in a beauty rut by wearing this gel liner. The base is black but it’s shot through with a deep, dark green shimmer that elevates it from your everyday kohl. This will suit anyone with olive or black skin, alternatively if you’re going for a Kristen Stewart-esque look this will work on pale skin, otherwise fair skintones would be better suited to a brown or grey liner.
