"Black Eyeliner Only"? Hmm...

I personally think that a dark eggplant purple color would look great on your skintone! Black is great, but it isn't the only color you can rock. You can use brown too.

I don't know what the MA was thinking when she said that

. She prob didn't have much experience with makeup when it comes to WOC.

I think if you can pull off any color of liner, then more power to ya!

I've tried some different color liners besides black and it always looked very off. It just never looked right on me even if I wear a black eyeliner that's not dark enough where it shows up as a greyish color. So I'll just stick to my graphblack technakhol which I've very happy with

.

I disagree with the MUA. I use brown eyeliner when I want a subtle daytime look or I use it with black eyeliner to make my eyes look bigger. I also look fabulous in green/purple/teal eyeliner.

Try it!

I have loads of coloured liners - pink, green. blue, gold and purple! She's prob a MA who slaps every black girl in Amber Lights, chestnut l/l and Oh Baby l/g!

While I'm not a professional MUA, I would disagree. You should wear whatever you want. Granted, they probably know a little more than me but it's your face. They aren't going to be wearing it. You should wear whatever you feel like wearing, no matter the color.

I wear several different colors of eyeliner. I've worn most recently blue, purple, green, brown, and black. I've even taken red and pink e/s and liner my eyes with it. Its all in how you pull it off, and often times you just have to go w/ makes you feel good and what looks good to you, instead of listening to other people. Never be too afraid to color outside the lines!

If I wore black eyeliner I'd look strange. Light strawberry blone and fair skin. Nothing else would be seen but BLACK EYELINER..instead of ME. I stick to dark brown, copper even, sometimes a purple or teal at the corners and even a deep tarnished green. I'm also not 25 anymore and my work requires I look professional...and my age. Black is a definate no no for me.
