All hail the newest makeup trend taking over TikTok and to make it even better it’s been celeb MUA approved – you can bet we’re listening and learning.

TikToker Alix Earle showcased her favourite hack for the doe eyed look everyone’s been trying to achieve in recent weeks – white eyeliner on her lower lash line, our eyes are watering already.

The newest beauty trend ‘discovered’ by the TikToker is all about making the eyes look bigger, brighter and wider by applying white eyeliner to the waterline. Alix has adopted the trend as part of her signature makeup style giving the hack which has been around for many years and was used by the likes of Elizabeth Taylor a completely new lease of life.

Lady Gaga is just one of the many artists in recent decades that has been using this trick to make her eyes appear bigger on stage. Her makeup artist, Sarah Tanno spoke to E!News saying: “Gaga and I have been using this trick for years for performances to open up the eyes to the audience from afar. It’s great when you want that doll eye look”.

Sarah also shared the best way to get the look saying: “Simply take a waterproof pencil and apply from the tear duct all the way to the end. If you want to open up the eye even more, you can extend it past your eyeliner and then trace with black eyeliner to achieve an iconic Elizabeth Taylor look”.

For anyone wanting to try out the makeup trend but with a preference for a more subtle look Sarah suggests swapping out the white shade for a matt beige – if it’s good enough for Posh Spice…

She said: “You bring your waterline from one end to the other making sure that you take it across to give the illusion of it being more open and wider. I think this looks best if you trace it with a tight line of black or brown eyeliner at your lash line or frame it with mascara”.

Are you ready and willing to give it a go, we’re currently armed with some fab new white and beige toned eyeliner pencils ready to see who will master the look at STELLAR HQ.
