i'm searching for a white, or a light pastel green, to eliminate the redness in my waterline.
i've tried max-factor, but it didn't work for me at all... any suggestions ?
also, i live in europe, so only brands available in the european market :)
thanks for your help.
lots of love

Catrice has a white eyeliner pencil, one of their Kohl Kajals.
That said: Rather than use a white, which can be a bit too stark, how about a flesh-toned pencil? (Also, I don't know of any light green eyeliners.) GOSH has one in the colour Bananas. Inglot has a white one in their Soft Precision range (#31) as well as a flesh-coloured one (#44). If you can get Stila where you are, they have a Kajal eyeliner in the colour Topaz, which is a nude. You could also try Illamasqua's Medium Pencil in Vow (apricot-yellow tone) or Cane (pastel yellow). (There's also a white one -- Elate -- if you prefer it.)
Stila kohl liner in Topaz...it's super creamy and easy to apply to the waterline. It lasts for a long time too. It's not exactly white, it's more like a flesh-toned nude color, but I think that makes the eye makeup look more natural.
If you want to eliminate redness, I would chose a cream or skin toned pencil, something with warm tones instead of green. But generally, any white pencil should cover up the red because they are quite opaque.
I use MAC's Chromagraphic Pencil in NW25/NC30 because white is too stark for me, it also comes in a lighter shade.
I like sin from urban decay 24/7 jumbo shadow pencil, its chubby but its a pretty creamy color, my waterline isn't usually red but I like how this looks on an everyday look. Nyx milk is anther fav but sometimes too white for every day for me.
Tarte has a nice one....inner rim brightener. What's cool about that one as well besides also looking more natural than white is that it doesn't require a sharpner....its encased in plastic so you twist it up to get more product.
i second using mac's fascinating eye kohl. i use it alotttt and its a staple in my makeup collection. i'm going to buy a backup i love it so much! especially for summer when you wanna do something simple.
so i ended up with one of the GOSH velvet touch waterproof pencils, ind a nude-ish baby pink color, with a hint of shimmer - and it's perfect :)
thank you guys so much for your help and advice :)
Illamasqua has a great liner called Vow. It isn't white. In my opinion white is too stark. Try a beige or off white. Also, Ben Nye concealer pencil works great too
The GOSH one sounded perfect for me, but alas, their site says that only their kohl pencils are safe for lower waterline. I have the NARS one, and apparently it matches my skin a little too well. Instead of brightening, it just looks like I made a mistake with my foundation. So I've been looking for a pale yellow or off-white instead. Guess I'll keep looking.

I haven't used that many, but I have a regular old NYX one that I like. NYC also makes a pencil liner that I've seen gurus use.

MAC's Fasinating kohl pencil is fab and lasts all day. Buttery was brilliant but discontinued.
Rimmel's white kohl doesn't last very long but is cheap and cheerful!
