A touch of white can help perfect your make-up.
Big, bold and beautiful eyes can be achieved by simply using white eyeliner.
Tip: Don’t use white eyeliner if you have naturally big eyes or if it makes your eyes look tired, red or too big.
Get the look:
Step 1: Apply your foundation using a brush or sponge. Make sure you blend it and cover your whole face including under the jawline so your make-up is blended to the neckline.
Tip: Make sure you buy the correct type of foundation for your skin. If you have dry skin, use a liquid foundation or powder foundation if you have oily skin.
Step 2: Line the inner part of the lower lashes of the eye with a white pencil.
Tip: Apply the white eyeliner to the inner corners of your eyes and blend it using an ear bud or your finger to give you the fresh, ‘awake’ look.
Step 3: Apply your eyeshadow of choice using a small brush.
Tip: Only apply the eyeshadow up to the crease of your eye. Use a lighter colour from the crease to the brow bone as a highlighter
Step 4: Apply dark eyeliner to the outer corner of the eye and along the upper lash line. Gently pull your eyelid outward to ensure you fill all the folds in the eye.
Tip: Choose an eyeliner that suits your skin tone. Use brown if you are light-skinned and black if you are dark-skinned.
Step 5: Put your mascara brush on the root of your eyelashes and gently brush out to separate and lengthen your lashes.
Repeating this movement gives your lashes volume and length.
Tip: Use an ear bud to clean any smudged mascara.
