You might be afraid of wearing colored eyeliner, especially if you’ve only used brown and black your entire life. However, there’s no better time to take advantage of the variety available to you than now! More celebrities are trying their hands at this style, and there’s no reason why you can’t capitalize on it yourself. Here are some tips for choosing the right colored eyeliner for your peepers and wearing it like a pro.

Get as close as possible to the lash line
When applying your eyeliner, it’s important to get as close to the lash line as possible to create the intriguing, head-turning look you desire, according to The Huffington Post.

Go neutral elsewhere.
If you’re using a bold color around your peepers, it’s best to go neutral everywhere else on your face to keep your look from becoming overwhelming. Keep this in mind as you select blush and lipstick.

“The eyeliner should not compete with other features on your face,” NYC New York Color celebrity makeup artist Mathew Nigara told the news source. “Bronzer, cream blush and sheer gloss help to anchor the entire look.”

Try different options.
If you feel that some of the colors you’ve tried have been too bold, give it another go! It takes trial and error to find the right hues to complement the color in of your eyes.
