Trend Alert - White Liner

White liner is back! It was all over the catwalk and soon it will be all over the streets. White eyeliner is an extremely versatile tool when you know how to use it. When applied to the upper lid, the white attracts light and opens up the shape of your eyes, contrasting the effects of black liner that make your eyes appear smaller. You can also use white liner on the inside of your lower lid as well as the inner corner of the eye to instantly brighten. As with any makeup, be sure to choose the right shade, stark whites can be a bit much so try opting for off-white, creamy white or whites with a silver tint. If you decide to go for a stark white try to soften the liner with a sponge or a Q-tip.

To achieve this look, I suggest trying MAC Cosmetics Eye Kohl in Fascinating.
