Use white eye liner on eyelids to increase shadow pigment

Do you want your eye shadow to appear more vibrant or pigmented? Cover your eye lids with white eye liner and apply your chosen eye shadow over the top. This will give you a richer shade of colour, and act as a lid primer.

Apply white eye liner to the brow bone and above the brows

Once you’ve defined your brows, apply a thick line of white eye liner onto the brow bone and a line along the top of your brows. Smudge these lines with your fingertip to ensure they are blended. Your brows will have a more lifted and highlighted appearance.

Line the lower waterline to give the illusion of bigger eyes

If you are looking a little tired, or you want to make you eyes look brighter and wider, line your lower lash line with white eye liner. This trick will make your eyes look more awake, and eliminate the appearance of redness in your eyes.

Create a unique cat eye wing

Everyone is doing a black wing – go opposite and be unique. Use your winged eye liner skills to create a white cat eye. This look is especially flattering with false lashes, but you’ll need to perfect your lash application technique (you won’t be able to cover the strip with black eyeliner!)

Brighten the inner corners of your eyes

Use white eye liner to brighten the inner corners of your eyes. For a more intense look, layer your favourite highlighting powder over the top. The white eye liner underneath will enhance the illuminating effect of your highlighter.
