Sound the alarm – another makeup trend has reared its head and we’re feeling pretty, ahem, all-white about it.
Celebrities from Jodie Comer to Janelle Monáe have been dabbling with white eyeliner, and the effects have been pretty enviable, with the bright white providing a neutral yet stand-out way to draw attention to the windows to your soul.
That’s why we’ve put together some tips and tricks on how you can master this look yourself.
How to wear white eyeliner
The first port of call for white-liner beginners should probably be the classic winged eyeliner.
To get it just right, Lucy Roberts, in-house makeup artist at Falseeylashes.co.uk, told us: ‘Have a winged black cat liner and outline with white eyeliner to make the look slightly more eye-catching.’
You can make each colour as thin or as thick as you please – it’s worth expirementing to find out what you prefer.
If you’re looking for something very bold, Lucy recommends: ‘Pair your graphic liner with a set of white false eyelashes for an eye-catching makeup look.
‘The contrast between the monochrome appearance will create a retro design makeup look.’
Alternatively, you could try another stand-out look by wearing your liner a la Janelle Monáe, whose white take on the classic 60’s cut crease made a delicate but definitely noticeable statement.
To achieve it, simply experiment with taking your liner from the inner corner of your eye up through the crease of your eye and into a long flick towards the outer end of your eyebrow.
From there, join the flick to the outer corner of your eye with a slightly curved line.
You can also use white eyeliner for a bit of visual trickery to make your eyes look bigger.
Lucy says: ‘By adding white eyeliner on the waterline of your eyes, makes your eyes appear wider. It gives you a brighter and more awake appearance.’
If you want to start off with a slightly less intricate look, you could also try white eyeshadow.
Covering your lids in a flat, opaque white or giving them a light white dusting will allow you to dip your toe into this trend while still helping your eyes pop.
