To brighten your eyes with white eyeliner, lightly apply it to your waterline, either on the top and bottom as desired, or just on the bottom, for the most noticeable effect.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Where to Apply: The waterline (the inner rim of your eye) is the primary target. Applying white eyeliner here instantly makes your eyes appear larger and more awake.
- Application Technique: Gently pull your upper or lower eyelid to the side to expose the waterline. This provides better access and a smoother application.
- Which Waterline?
- Bottom Waterline Only: Applying white eyeliner solely to the bottom waterline is the most common and effective method for brightening.
- Top and Bottom Waterlines: For a more dramatic, wide-eyed effect, you can apply white eyeliner to both the top and bottom waterlines. However, be cautious, as this can sometimes look unnatural if overdone.
- Type of Eyeliner: A creamy, waterproof white eyeliner pencil is ideal. This type glides on smoothly and lasts longer without smudging.
- Amount to Apply: Less is more. A thin, even line is sufficient. Avoid applying too much, which can look stark and unnatural.
- Blending (Optional): If you find the white line too harsh, you can gently blend it with a cotton swab or your finger to soften the effect.
- Other Options: Instead of stark white, consider using an off-white, cream, or nude-colored eyeliner for a more subtle and natural brightening effect.
In summary, a light application of white eyeliner to your waterline, especially the bottom, is a simple and effective way to make your eyes appear brighter and more awake.
