RUNWAY INSPIRATION Models at the Jonathan Simkhai spring/ summer 2018 runway show wore neutral shadow topped with vanilla liner that served as little spotlights on their eyes. 2
FAKE A LINE Use a vanilla or champagne liner, like Givenchy Khôl Couture Waterproof Eyeliner in Light Gold ($27; barneys.com),and draw dashes along your lash line (it’s less intimidatingthan making a straight line). Smudge it in the inner corners, then trace it along your bottom lash lines.

Pretty Practical
White Liner
ON MORNINGS WHEN YOU FEEL (AND LOOK) TIRED, SWAP OUT BLACK FOR BLANC LINER TO BRIGHTEN EYES
WITH MINIMAL EFFORT.

ACE YOUR BASE Brush a matte taupe powder, like Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Tease ($20; sephora .com), over your eyelids. Cover the lid from lash line to crease, then blend the edges for a diffused, livedin look. Trace the shadow along your lower lash lines to complete the circle. 3
FLUFF UP LASHES Finish the look with a quick coat of mascara. Try Maybelline New York Total Temptation Mascara ($9.50; at drugstores). Let the white liner steal the show by applying only one coat, just to the tips.
