Apply along the bottom lash line to create the appearance of bigger eyes. Spot the corner of each eye to instantly brighten. You can also blend with a cream shadow to create a frosted smoky eye for the holidays. All in all; it’s important to remember the “less is more” mantra when working with this specific color.
And of course, having a dependable product with lasting power doesn’t hurt either. Whether you’ve got cash to spare or a budget with no wiggle room, our top three favorites will definitely give you Solange-level liner.
Make Up For Ever’s Aqua XL Eye Pencil ($21, sephora.com) has the creamiest glide ever and it’s waterproof. If you’re constantly on the go, this is the liner that won’t budge.
The Urban Decay Razor Sharp Liquid Liner ($22, sephora.com) is also water-resistant, but the precision of its crazy sharp applicator is unmatched. Cat eye wearers will be obsessed.
And with the holiday season in full swing, a shadow stick is by far the quickest way to apply an entire eye look with just one product. Although the Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Stick ($28, sephora.com) isn’t technically white, the iridescent snow shimmer is perfect for winter.
