Behind-the-Series: It was my intention to provide heavy, opaque swatches to provide an accurate color comparison. Some eyeliners required one pass, some required five, and a few even more. When possible, the shade name (above) is linked to the original review so you can read more about the quality, wear, etc. of a particular eyeliner. If we’ve never done a review, there will be no link. Shades that were limited edition will be marked with “(LE)” and shades that were discontinued will be marked with “(DC)” after the color description. You can also find all comparisons on The Dupe List. What’s your favorite Olive Green Eyeliner? How do you like to use it? See more swatches & comparisons!

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when Get close to the mirror and trace a line from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. Always keep the line as close to the root of your lashes as possible. And be sure to sharpen the pencil eyeliner before using! Each liner in the range has a creamy, pigmented formula that blends with utter ease. It’s workable without slipping and sliding around or needing to tug at the delicate area to diffuse the color. You get about twenty seconds of play time which allows you to craft your look, and once it sets down, it truly stays put all day and night without smearing or fading. The smooth, creamy formula that takes a bit of time to fully set down is what sets this liner apart from others on the market—it allows you to manipulate it until you’re satisfied with the results. Hazel eyes contain a mixture of brown and green tones, so different eyeliner colors will change their natural appearance in different ways. By choosing which color eyeliner to use, you can choose which color you want to bring out in your eyes. Green eyeliners, in colors such as emerald and olive, will bring out the green tones in hazel eyes, as will plum, aubergine, and steely grey hues. Brown eyeliners, on the other hand, such as chocolate, will highlight the natural brown tone of hazel eyes. Warm browns and golden metallic eyeliner, including bronze and copper eyeliner, will also bring out the brown tone of hazel eyes while simultaneously creating a yellow-gold glow.Chanel Khaki Dore Crayon Yeux is a warm khaki brown with subtle gold and green hints. It is significantly less green than the others here.

Don't worry about creating a perfectly smooth, straight line—bumps and uneven lines are easily fixable with a dash of makeup remover on a q-tip. It can take some practice to understand exactly when is the best time to diffuse the formula without moving it too much, but once you get it, it’s incredibly easy to work with. You can also apply it in a precise line and let it set down if you prefer a more clean, defined look. While I don’t wear eyeliner on my waterline due to personal preference, I have several friends who have raved about how well this liner glides on and stays put in the area. So, the versatility in terms of how you can wear it is entirely up to you.
