Every makeup artist has a white eyeliner in their bag, because sometimes you just can’t do without it. We'll tell you why it will become your lifesaver and how to use it correctly to achieve different goals.

Change eye shape

A light pencil can make small eyes larger, round eyes narrower, and this beauty tool will visually distance close-set eyes from each other.

  • To make your eyes appear larger, just apply a thin line of a natural light shade to the upper eyelid and gently blend it.
  • For drooping eyelids and narrow eyes, it is recommended to draw an arrow from the middle of the moving eyelid outwards.
  • Those with large eyes should apply a white pencil to the inner corners of the eyes, visually lengthening them.
  • For girls with close-set eyes, it is recommended to apply a white pencil to the inner corners, bringing it almost to the middle of the eyelid, then slightly shade it to visually distance the eyes.

Open your eyes

Every experienced makeup artist knows this trick, because in just a couple of seconds it allows you to achieve the desired effect and visually open your eyes, giving your look depth and expressiveness. To do this, use a light pencil to draw the growth line of the lower eyelashes.

Soften the shade of the shadows

To make the color of the shadows more delicate, you need to apply a white pencil on top and shade it thoroughly. This method is also perfect if you need to smooth out the transitions between shades of eye shadow and make eye makeup more harmonious and natural.

Draw arrows

Of course, don’t forget about the contrasting white arrows on the eyelids, which look no less impressive than black ones. To attract attention to white arrows, use futuristic shapes, which are now on the wave of popularity. And if you have dark lines in mind, try creating a double wing by applying a white pencil over a black or brown eyeliner.

Cover up signs of fatigue

Light, neat strokes at the inner corner of the eyes with further delicate shading towards the bridge of the nose and eyebrows will help to mask the consequences of your client’s lack of sleep before the wedding or working long hours at the computer before the party. To remove redness, you can lighten the lower eyelid with very soft kajal.

Give your makeup a fresh look

To refresh your makeup, add expressiveness to your eyes, and add shine to your eyes, apply a white pencil to the inner corners. This technique emphasizes the almond shape of the eyes and puts emphasis on them, which is why many celebrity makeup artists still use highlighter in the inner corners.

Use as a base for eye shadow

Another useful life hack for using white eyeliner is to apply it under your eye shadow as a base for your makeup. The simplest option is to shade the entire moving eyelid, blend to a thin, light finish and start working with shadows or eyeliner. This method simplifies the creation of a transition of tones, makes the color of the shadows brighter, and also prolongs the durability of the makeup.
