You don’t ever need an explicit excuse to really dig in with makeup and try out new products or experimental beauty looks, but if there ever was a time of year that sets the scene for the best, it’s fall. Of course, there’s the obvious added bonus of Halloween and the endless opportunity for creative makeup there, but on the day to day, something as simple as trading your black eyeliner for fall hues instead can make all the difference in your glam for the next few months.
For starters, working with colored eyeliner sounds inherently scary, but it’s actually no more difficult to make work than any other eyeliner. Many would even argue the end result with a colored eyeliner can yield a better result over all, as the colors tend to work together with the pigment from other areas such as your eyeshadow to compliment your eyes even further. When looking at which shades work best for you (as there’s no shortage of color options on the market), think of things that may help you get the most wear out of the product, such as which eyeliner colors will best complement the most prominent colors in your wardrobe, or your eye color (to employ a tip from grade school, colors opposite your eye color on the color wheel are often likely to complement your eye best).
Ahead, we scrolled through some of the most-loved eyeliner formulas, then scoped out the ones that offered up fall appropriate lip liner shades to wear in combination with all your future beauty looks.

Two is better than one, and this eyeliner duo-in-one from Charlotte Tilbury proves it. The two shades work together in a way that amplifies the eye color best, and this warm, copper number is perfect for the fall season.

Sephora Collection Ultimate Gel Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in Shimmer Navy
Navy eyeliner ends up being one of the most intriguing as it can sometimes look ‘almost black,’ and the added shimmer to this one from Sephora Collection makes it all the better.
