Be confident, wear white, and before you know it, this eyeliner will become one of the most versatile products in your makeup case!
Bigger, brighter eyes: Use white eyeliner to trace the insides of both upper and lower lashes. This will make your eyes pop, and you can extend the white into the inner corners of your eyes to really brighten up the area that’s typically dark.
Black and white contrast: By drawing a thick line of white eyeliner over the top of your lid and adding a thin line of black liner closer to your lashes, you can create the perfect contrast for a night out or a day at work. No matter what occasion, this classic black and white look will go with everything.

Eyeshadow base: Experiment with your liner as an eyeshadow base. By using a white base underneath a colorful eyeshadow, the color will really stand out because of the opaque back drop.

Pop out your brow bone: Just underneath your eyebrow on the bone (above the crease), apply white eyeliner and smudge to blend. The highlight will open up and brighten your eye, giving you a more awake look.
