Did you hear? Many on the Internet have recently harnessed the glow-inducing abilities of a white-tipped, finely-whittled eyeliner — reinterpreting the purpose of the product in a way that it doesn’t just play into the appearance of wider, super-awake eyes but endows your skin with a luminous-looking finish. Yeah. Talk about the phrase ‘the pen is mightier than the sword’. Nothing explains it better.
But what does the hack involve, and why is it such a hit amongst all the glazed-donut, lit-from-within loyalists? You’ve gotta check it out for yourself. Keep scrolling to see what this white eyeliner-cum-highlighter hack is all about.

Huda’s Instagram is a cornucopia of reactions to hacks and tricks — and this one catapulted into a trend that inspired many of the MUA’s followers an inkling to reach out for their white eye pencil. She rubs some of the eyeliner onto the tip of the nose — for those with a longer, bigger nose, she suggests positioning it a little higher to capture the effect — before transferring a heavy-handed flick onto the bridge as well as the inner corners of the eyes.
Huda blends it all out lightly with a fine-tipped brush, and the result is an all-over-glow that imparts a youthful-looking flush to the face. She finishes by placing a small amount of product along the middle of the nose to further capture the aesthetic, and that’s that. Huda’s comments are abounding with followers claiming that the trick has been around for years — that it has always been a thing, and they’d enlist the hack’s expertise all the time back in the day.
Obviously, if you’re more of a matte-finish person, and you favour a polished, ultra-clean finish, you might not go all gaga over this eyeliner trick.
That’s not it. Your favourite from Stranger Things just demonstrated the hack on her skincare-cum-makeup brand’s page. The actress enlisted an eyeliner from her range to recreate the look. The hack involved applying some product along the bridge of the nose and the inner corners of the eyes like Huda, and blended it all out for a luxe-looking finish. That’s how no-effort and quick this one is.
Are we experimenting with this hack any time soon? Or do you belong to the category of people that’s already played around with it in the past? Spill!
