When it comes to eyeliner, you probably have black, brown, and maybe a navy or deep purple in your arsenal. But what about white? The unexpected hue has a number of uses. "I love using it in the waterline, on the inner corner, blended under the brow, or as a classic wing liner," Urban Decay Global Makeup Artist Steve Kassajikian says.
White liner is especially good for making the eyes pop. "It instantly brightens the eyes and makes your eyeballs look whiter," the pro adds. No matter how you use it, find the 6 best white eyeliners—from liquid to sparkly to super-skinny—ahead.
