What if I told you that there’s just one makeup product out there that will elevate your makeup look significantly? And it can cost as little as $1.50 at Ulta? You’re welcome in advance.
Two words: White Eyeliner
You may be thinking, “What can simple eyeliner do?” Allow me to explain. Eyeliner is one of the most popular go-to products for eye makeup. I, personally, rarely leave the house without it. Now imagine a majority of eye shadow creations you can make: most of them omit bright white (unless it’s in the inner corners as an accent). Typically, you find eye shadow in a lot of shades minus stark white.
All of that combined shows that white liner is unique enough to elevate your makeup – with or without anything else.
Every single time I have worn white liner, I get complimented on it – which is more times than if I did a full-face complete with eyeshadow and lips. To think that such a tiny product for such little money can make such a difference is incredible.
Not to mention, white goes with everything.
Black, brown, navy, purple, dark green… The list goes on and on. Even if you don’t have on any makeup, the touch of white eyeliner will add just enough pop to make it seem like you did way more with your makeup than you actually did.
White eyeliner also makes you look more awake.
For those who work long hours, don’t get enough sleep, or are just always tired, white eyeliner is a life-changing hack. This trick works on the bottom waterline especially, but can really be applied anywhere on or around the eye.
This comes in very handy for those who don’t really know how to do makeup.
A lot of people don’t really know the ins and outs of makeup unless they’ve been doing it for a while or went to school for it like I did. I’m pretty sure that I would be in the same boat if I didn’t get my certification. Makeup is a challenge – especially nowadays with such intricate, incredible looks. My point is, it’s hard to learn about makeup, which is why one swipe of white eyeliner will make you look like you mastered the art of the pencil in 10 seconds flat.
Your wallet will thank you.
Shopping at Ulta and Sephora, I have seen some very pricey makeup products. We’re talking in the hundreds – maybe more, depending on where you shop. For someone like me who’s on a budget (hello, student loans), makeup can get pretty pricey. But, let’s be real. You have at least $1.50 in your console left over from your last Starbucks run.
Want to try all of this for yourself? Run out to Ulta, Target, Walmart, a drug store… Really anywhere you can buy makeup and grab a white eyeliner pencil. Swipe on your lid and wait for the compliments to come rolling in. I mean, you did just elevate your makeup in a few seconds. You’re killing it.
