Gabbi Garcia and Ariana Grande


It's time to join the white eyeliner wave!

If there's one beauty trend slowly but surely making its way to everyone's favorites, it has to be the use of white eyeliners.

With the release of the music video for Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's banger, "Rain On Me," we're expecting to see more rocking the white eyeliner look.

White liner from #RainOnMe is the looook for the summer. I used @hauslabs #stupidlove palette in 911! @manthony783 and I are loving all your recreations. It's so fun seeing them. Keep them coming! #ladygaga #arianagrande #chromatica #sarahtannomakeup #hauslabs

For those that want to give the beauty trend a spin, celebrity makeup artist Priscilla Ono suggests the "less is more" approach. In an interview with the lifestyle and entertainment website Refinery29, Priscilla shared that a minimal makeup look, a steady hand, and a thin white line is enough to make you stand out!

Here, Kapuso beauty Gabbi Garcia complements her nude makeup look with a delicately-applied white liner in her crease area.

White liners aren't just for accentuating the eyes. Los Angeles-based drag queen Gigi Goode has found other ways to use the product and make it a part of their signature look.

Aside from lining the crease, Gigi also puts a thin line of white under their brows for a sharper finish. They also put it on their waterline to enlarge and change the shape of their eyes. Lastly, Gigi draws a fake Cupid's bow with white above their actual lips to create a fuller lip illusion.
