Waterline - Eyeliner that works?

Mar 6, 2012

I love my black eyeliner but when it comes to using WHITE eyeliners for my waterline I'm just not impressed. Maybe I'm using the wrong white eyeliner!?! What I want is a eyeliner that is going to make my eyes bigger & for me to look more awake. I've heard that a Nude eyeliners work better then white. Any recommendations on a good nudish color for my waterline?

Good question Myshel! I have also been looking for a good white liner for my waterline.

Thank you so much Ainslie!! I did not know about that product from Tarte. I will definitely check it out the next time that I go to Sephora. It looks like there are a lot of positive reviews as well. So excited to try!

you could use nyx jumbo eyepencil in milk and set it with a withe eyeshadow, but sometimes white could make you look not awake but tired, depending on your skin complexion, or I beleive ben nye has a pencil concealer that U can apply to the water line.

Something nude-ish works really good to make you look awake, you should go for a beigey pencil, but is up to you and what you like.

hope that helps :)

Tarte makes a nude eyeliner but you can also use a concealer pencil like the one with the Hard Candy Glamoflage concealer or the Urban Decay one.

I use Benefit's High Brow pencil: http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/high-brow
This works great on me, makes my eyes look bigger and brighter. I like it more than my white eyeliners tbh.

Cecilie, I also use Benefit's High Brow for this!!! I think it is a great natural looking color and applies very smooth and is SUPER pigmented. High Brow is a great product in general, there are SO many uses for it.

@ Ainslie W. and Shannyn W.: Yeah it has really good reviews... Definitely going to check it out. I'm making a trip to Ulta on Thursday I'll check there... Thanks :)

@Antonio Z.: That's what I currently do. It's nice but I always end up getting a wide eyed doll look. For those days I just want a natural look... I can't use white :(

@Rebekah D.: I just bought that product last week... Duh! I didn't think of that...lol. I have to try it out... Thanks :)

@Cecilie A. and Jacki C.: I will check that out at Ulta as well... Thanks :)

I actually really love the elf creme eyeliner for the waterline, as it is surprisingly long-wear for the price. Comes in a variety of colors, including ivory.

@Angela C. I really needed a eyeliner sharpener and didn't want to spend more then a $1 for one so I purchase an elf pencil in the color glided (came with the sharpener) ...It's pretty but not dark enough. I figure if I fine a great nude eyeliner for my waterline I can add this one on top because is has a nice shimmer to it.

Stila makes an awesome eyeliner for the waterline in a nude color called Topaz. It's awesome! Super creamy and doesn't smear or fade away. To keep it on even longer you can use a flat liner brush in some white or flesh toned shadow and pat it on.

@Christina: Thank you so much... I was going crazy trying to figure out what brand it was that carried the color Topaz for the waterline...lol. I checked all the major brands minus Stila. I have heard amazing things about this product but I just couldn't remember the brand...LOL... Thanks :)

The elf creme eyeliners apply with a brush (they come in a little glass pot rather than pencil form, which I actually prefer for working that close to the eye)

@Angela... Oh I need to try that one too. I really love the elf creme eyeliner in black almost better then my Smashbox one I have...hehe

NARS and Stila have some nice ones. I am not sure what the names are but if you went to Sephora I'm sure you could find them.

I either use a Kryolan Pencil in Beige or the MAC Chromagraphic Pencil in NC15/NW20 (you can order it by phone).

I can look a little crazed if I use white, unless it's a dramatic look. :D

@ Alexa: Yeah I'm going to have to check Sephora because Ulta didn't have it.

@Heather: Yeah that's why I stopped using white because it give me the wide eyed doll effect. Don't get me wrong I love the look but not on a regular...hehe. Will check those out... thanks!
