5 Almost-White Eyeliners That’ll Make You Look More Awake
It’s a (nearly) universal truth that white eyeliner has the magical ability to make you look more awake when applied to the waterline. While white liner is great (and will never leave our makeup bags), it can appear a little harsh on the days when you want to go for a more subtle, no-makeup makeup look. Enter taupe-y, beige liners. These off-white, nude eyeliners give you the same look with a softer finish and can be worn with or without a full face beat. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite almost-white eyeliners, ahead.
