White eyeliner bears the burden of a bad rap or two, but I’m drawn to the deliciously mod motif.

If you care to join me, I plan to achieve the two-toned look by first prepping my lids with a stay-put base—my current favorite is blinc’s Eye Shadow Primer. Next, I’ll line the upper lids with a white eye pencil (and I’ll be sure to make this line thick). Make Up For Ever’s Aqua Eyes in White won’t budge.

Then I’ll use a black liquid eyeliner (blinc’s Ultrathin Liquid Eyeliner Pen should fit the bill), retracing the lid with a line as close to the lashline as possible. Maybe I’ll draw a bit beyond my eyes’ outer corner for a more dramatic look—the weekend offers infinite possibilities.
