You do have to be careful when it comes to applying white eyeliner to your waterline. After all, your eyes won’t look brighter if your cornea is scratched. Gray recommends ensuring that your eyeliner pencil is sharpened. And, to apply, “ … all you need to do is gently hold down your eye, separating your waterline from your eye, and apply it with a light hand.” If you have corrosive tears, you’re going to need to help your eyeliner out a bit. There are a few ways to do this, like drying your waterline before application or using powder, which we’ve detailed in a guide for you. Be patient! "If you are working with liquid and gel eyeliners make sure they are fully dry before curling your eyelashes, applying mascara, or any other eye products," says Tricome. "There is nothing worse than applying eyeliner and having your eyelash curling take it off or accidentally smudging it." You can also seek out eyeliners that are formulated to be long-wearing. "Purchasing waterproof eyeliner is key, these formulas are made to ensure your eyeliner stays on all day," says Moore. "You can also tap an eyeshadow that matches the color of the liner on top of the liner to ‘set’ the look in place."
