Autumn is the season for deeper, richer eye makeup — here are 11 liner looks.
My top pick: Black liner is fine. Brown, plum, and bronze are better in autumn, and far more flattering on most eye colours.
1. Brown Smudged Liner
Softer than black, flattering on everyone. Shop brown eyeliner pencil on Amazon →
2. Plum / Burgundy Liner
A deep berry that flatters green and hazel eyes. Shop burgundy eyeliner plum on Amazon →
3. Bronze Shimmer Liner
Warm metallic for autumn evenings. Shop bronze eyeliner shimmer on Amazon →
4. Classic Winged Liner

5. Smoky Lower Lash Line

The bottom line
Brown smudged liner is the most wearable autumn look and the hardest to get wrong. Plum is the one worth trying if you have green or hazel eyes — the contrast is striking.
