WHITE EYELINER LOOKS

After being inside all year, we should all be makeup experts. What else was there to do, but experiment with looks? So, when it comes to this season’s super-flattering white eyeliner trend, let’s just say you’re ready. Seen on the hottest celebs— Margot Robbie and Janelle Monáe, we’re looking at you!—white eyeliner literally pops on any skin tone. Another bonus: it will actually help to open and brighten eyes! From a fierce white wing to a white take on a retro 60s look, makeup artist Maria Alvarado shows us 5 reasons why you need white eyeliner in your life right now.

Whereas dark eyeliner acts as a picture frame, defining the edges of your eyes, white eyeliner acts as a blank sheet of paper, keeping the possibilities open and edges fresh. Aesthetically speaking, white eyeliner is incredibly edgy and reads 100% modern and cool. Meaning, you could line your grandmother's eyes with white eyeliner and she will be just as on the verge as you are. It’s 100% fresh.

To achieve this effect, line your lower waterline with a white eyeliner and it will make the eyes seem wider and more open.
