White Liner Makeup Trend Is In

What’s unique about the white liner makeup look, is how it instantly brightens the eye look. Here’s a great tip to remember, light colors expand looks and darker colors shrink spaces.  So white liner makeup in this case makes the eyes appear wider, and more intense and more awake.  I also noticed how it instantly lifts my eyes, and details the eye.

What You Need To Know Before Buying

I would love to save you some time and effort on this. You have to know that all Liners are not created equal. Start with a good liner, there are many out there but don’t be fooled.  I came across one in particularly by Milani Cosmetics that cracks and creases and flakes off the eyes!  I know, I thought it was a great liner when I first tried it out and after wearing for a while I learned it literally feel apart! It actually looks crazy by the hour. No worries I got you, I know exactly what to buy. First, here are a few tips on how to apply:

How To Apply White Wing Liner

• Apply a simple eyeshadow look.  It the eyeshadow look is too complicated, or artsy it will take away from the overall look.  For me simple is always better.  
• Line the top eyelid, and keep the liner close to the lashes.  Do a bold swipe, and build on the swipe.
• You may do this freehand, for me this works best.  Some do use a tape of some sort- I have not tried this method.  
• Clean up the extra liner with concealer- it does the trick everytime.

How To Wear The White Liner

• Apply a simple eyeshadow look.  It the eyeshadow look is too complicated, or artsy it will take away from the overall look.  For me simple is always better. 
• Add it to your black liner.  Double lines are gorgeous. 
• For this look, the bolder the better the look overall.  This look has to be intense in order for it to work for you.

What Kind of White Liner To Buy

You can so easily create the perfect liner with NYX Professional Wing Liner ($10).  
This is the best liner that I have found so far- there is not flaking, creasing, it lines simply- but (warning) it is waterproof.  Taking it off will not be so simple lol- but just know the staying power is strong.

So, the next time you are feeling bold try out the hottest look of the summer and let me know how you are feeling about it.  I would love to hear if you have tried out this look or any other bold liner shades.  Stay safe out there, and I will see you on the next blog post.
