Which looks better on the waterline to brighten eyes, white or nude? I'm really pale and have red hair, so I'm afraid nude would be too dark for my skin color, and then white might be too harsh. Any comments or opinions would be helpful!!:)

I usually use white, I also have pale skin and red hair! Nude works, but I like how white looks better. But all you need is I thin layer to just brighten eyes.😊

I prefer nude! I'm super pale as well and nude looks way more natural, white can look a bit harsh!

Nude. White looks sooo harsh in person, it looks funny to me personally.

I can't find a light enough nude (it makes me look bad) to match my skin tone so I go with white especially with bolder looks. Sometimes, I'll cover the white with a pearly champagne color if I'm going for a natural look! :)

Thanks everyone!! I'll probably go for a light nude so that it's not a in your face look:D all of you were really helpful.

MUFE Aqua Eyes makes a champagne color, that's really good.

It's so funny, I posted the same question a few weeks ago-same exact question and we have the same coloring. I set out to buy a peach or nude pencil based on advice from the lovely ladies of Beautylish but couldn't find one. I ended up purchasing a white pencil for my waterline and have to say it is not too harsh or obvious looking after all. So my advice is if you can't get a nude color then the white will be more than fine. I would post a pic but I am not wearing makeup today-(well except some red lipstick!)

Thank you so much Jane C. I will probably end up choosing a white one because white is my nude

I always use a black kohl for my waterline! I have never used nude or white:) I apply the black kohl even when I am at home. I mean all the time:)
