Not Mascara, Not Eye Shadow: This Neglected Product Enhances Your Eyes in an Absolutely Captivating Way.

      As beauty editors, we possess extensive industry expertise, which we will be sharing in Beauty School—a series offering step-by-step tutorials, beauty and wellness tips, candid product recommendations, and more to help you look and feel your best. Expect a wealth of useful suggestions, occasional candid moments, and absolutely no gatekeeping—ever. Beauty School is designed to be accessible, informative, and welcoming to everyone, so let's get started. The eyes are often seen as the windows to the soul, making them one of our most captivating features. I already know you have stunning eyes, dear reader, and if you wish to enhance them, I need to introduce you to an incredibly underrated makeup product that will make your eyes appear bright, wide, and absolutely mesmerizing. In the first edition of Beauty School, I’ll show you how to use this product like a pro. Feel free to hold me responsible when people say they genuinely get lost in your eyes, as it will happen frequently.

      The magical item we are discussing is white eyeliner—yes, white. Lady Gaga is known for applying a matte white liner on her waterline to make her eyes stand out both on stage and on the red carpet. I’m in complete agreement—it’s truly the secret to achieving those enchanting Bambi eyes quickly and effortlessly. While siren and fox eyes are trendy, I believe a doe-eyed look is more suitable for everyday wear and doesn't require such precision. (Honestly, who has the time or patience to apply winged liner every morning?)

      Now, onto my favorite part! The liner I recommend is the Victoria Beckham Beauty Satin Kajal Liner ($34) in Linen. After trying numerous eyeliners, I can confidently say this one excels in every category. The soft, creamy pencil delivers vibrant color payoff, applies smoothly, and lasts all day long. Plus, it's crafted with clean ingredients like vitamin B5, vitamin E, and silica pearl, ensuring it won’t irritate sensitive eyes.

      So, how do we use this product? Here’s a detailed guide: First, apply it on the waterline, focusing the pigment on the outer waterline and gradually blending it inward. This tip is crucial for achieving a natural look without harshness, which is where many people struggle with white liner. You can intensify the color for a full-glam appearance or keep it very natural, as illustrated below. Next, apply the product to the inner corners of your eyes in a sideways V shape, then blend it out using the sponge tip of the liner.

      For a quick one-minute solution for brighter eyes, lightly apply it on the outer waterline and inner corner. Voila—doll-like eyes in an instant. Bonus Points! Because I care about you and want to share, here are additional tips for beautiful eyes, regardless of your eye color or shape.

      Curl your lashes: Curling your lashes makes a significant difference! You can just curl and go, or add a lengthening mascara for a fluttery effect. I’ve tried countless mascaras, and my top picks are Refy’s Lash Sculpt ($26) and Essence Lash Princess ($5).

      Contour your lids: You only need three shades to create depth in your eyes. Apply a light shade to the center of your lid, inner corner, and brow bone; a medium shade in the crease and lower lashline; and the darkest shade in the outer crease. Blend it all together, and you’re all set!

      Complementary colors: This one is straightforward; wear eyeshadow colors that best enhance your eye color. If you have blue eyes like I do, shimmering gold and green shades will make them pop. Gorgeous brown eyes look stunning with bronzy espresso and periwinkle hues. For beautiful hazel eyes, opt for amethyst and mauve tones.
