I use everything else normally - mascara, shadow, any other eyeliner I want to use. Then I use white eyeliner on the rim of my bottom lid - does that make sense? I usually put other eyeliners in my lash line, so on the rim the white eyeliner doesn't mix or anything. It really makes my eyes pop and look bigger. I discovered it while watching the Tyra show. My boyfriend commented on how he loved that her eyes looked so big, and then later she did a makeup section and said to use white eyeliner to make your eyes pop, so I've been using that trick ever since

AllieGurl · Marc Jacobs

My daily staples:

Bare escentuals face powder
suddenly sun bronzer
Nars blush armour
Lancome mascara
anastasia brow gel

what kind of white liner do you use? Ive heard that trick 100x before but I bought one liner that was too harsh and one that was too waxy so then I gave up!

I actually just use Wet N' Wild... I wanted to try a cheapo brand before commiting to anything more expensive, but obviously it's lasting me forever because you use so little at a time!

You might like wet n' wild, though... it's not harsh at all. Sometimes I even heat it up with a hairdryer for a few seconds to make it go on thicker because it's so sheer.
