We have taught you how to apply eyeliner perfectly so that it doesn't budge or smudge so now, use those same tips for coloured eyeliners and rock these pretty makeup looks.

Read on to see the coloured eyeliner makeup looks as well as which ones to buy to add to your cosmetics collection!

#1 Pastel blue

Don't feel too intimidated by the bright pastel blue colour because the trick to nailing this look is using it sparingly. Make your eyes look like they are smiling with this pastel blue eyeliner drawn on only the ends of your eyes.

Apply a brownish eyeshadow and top it off with silver glittery eyeshadow. Use your usual brown eyeliner to draw a wing, then use the pastel blue eyeliner to draw another wing on top of it, but slightly shorter than the brown one.

Green eyeliner might sound weird at first but trust us, it's really not! Give off a mysterious aura with a green eyeliner makeup look or simply to complement any simple outfit you have on. Just make sure to draw a thin eyeliner line to keep it looking neat and not too overwhelming.

Apply some glittery eyeshadow and keep your makeup look simple. Then, draw a thin winged line using a green eyeliner.

Apply a reddish brown eyeshadow and top it off with purplish glittery eyeshadow. Draw a thin winged line using the burgundy eyeshadow. Make sure the winged eyeliner is neat by using a cotton bud to remove any smudges.

#4 White

White was often used to line the waterline of the eyes to brighten them back in the early 2000s. Although most ladies don't do that anymore, a white eyeliner is still something you should have in your makeup collection because it's versatile. White goes with almost any colour so it will look great with all kinds of eyeliner colours.

Apply your desired eyeshadow and eyeliner colour, then use the white eyeliner to draw another winged line or on the inner corners of the eyes like the image above. It's a simple makeup look but we guarantee you won't find this on most ladies, so donning it makes you unique!

Get the KVD Vegan Beauty Cake Pencil Eyeliner in the White Out shade ($29) or the Shiseido MicroLiner Ink - Crayon Matte Eyeliner in the 05 White shade ($38).

#5 Yellow

For those who are really hesitant about trying eyeliners in different colours other than black or brown, we recommend taking the first step with yellow. Yellow eyeliners go with both black and brown eyeliners, so it will be easier for you to try out different makeup looks with it.

Apply your desired eyeshadow, then draw your usual eyeliner using your black or brown eyeliner. Finish off with the yellow eyeliner either on the top or bottom of your winged liner. If you are drawing it on the top, make it shorter but if you are drawing it on the bottom, make it longer.
