White liner: how to do a good eyeliner line?

Getting your liner right is a bit like the Holy Grail of makeup. Let’s not lie to ourselves, it’s very rare to get it perfect from the first attempts, and It is by repeating the gesture that we improve. However, it is important to keep in mind that we do not have symmetrical eyes, so our liner stroke does not necessarily have to be either. That being said, a good way to successfully draw a thin line is to start at the lash line, placing your liner in the middle of the eyelid and moving towards the outer corner of the eye, then doing the same towards the inner corner. Too complicated? Some makeup artists recommend making small dots at the base of the eyelashes, which you then simply connect together to obtain a line. As for the comma, again, it is a question of practice, so at first, it is better to be satisfied with extend the line slightly by following an imaginary line running from the outer corner of the eye to the tip of the eyebrow.

What is the best white eyeliner?

When it comes to eyeliner, there are several schools of thought: for some, applying a liquid liner (like the Intense Liquid Eyeliner from Sephora Collection) is quite easy, while others swear by pencils or felt-tip pens (like the At The Borderline Kohl Pencil Eyeliner from Rem Beauty or the Diorshow On Stage Liner from Dior). The best liner is the one you are comfortable with and that allows you to draw your line easily. However, it is true that a bright color like white will stand out and hold up better with a liquid formula (brush or felt-tip pen) rather than with a pencil.

What to wear with white liner?

Good news : the white liner goes with everything. If you want to achieve a rather simple and chic look, combine it with a worked complexion (by enhancing the tan with bronzer in particular) and a moisturized mouth, at most rosy. On the contrary, if you want a more graphic and fun look, you can play with several liner colors, for example by making a double liner white + liner neon or white + black or by using white to make dots instead of the comma. In all cases, the complexion must be worked (bronzer + blush and/or highlighter) and on the mouth, we can consider pop colors or play the shine card.
