Transparent Eyeliner Is The Subtler Option For A Glam Look

"The technique is all about creating a lifted eyeliner shape using concealer and the natural coloration of your eyelid to create a subtle shaping to the eyes," explains Charlie Riddle, who serves as the head of artistry for Stila Cosmetics, as per Byrdie.

In addition, transparent eyeliner provides a freshening aspect to the face, especially good for days when you're tired or just not feeling your best. Riddle explains, "It gives a lifted look to the eyes which can, in turn, make the eyes look more awake and open." 

When trying out transparent eyeliner, though you may have the foundation readily available, it's worth noting that you will need a different shade than you normally wear. "It needs to be lighter than the coloration of your natural lid to really create that shape with negative spacing," says Riddle. "If it's too close of a match, it will just blend right in."
