White Eyeliner on Waterline

Open and brighten eyes instantly

A white or nude eyeliner pencil applied to the lower waterline (the inner rim of the lower lid) to make the eye appear larger, more open, and more awake. The white creates the illusion that the visible white of the eye (sclera) extends further, countering the small-eye effect of a red or dark waterline. Particularly effective for monolid, hooded, and smaller eye shapes, and for making tired eyes look rested. Takes five seconds and is invisible until you compare before and after — one of the highest-ROI makeup techniques per second of effort.
