As you may know firsthand, white and nude eyeliner have the magical ability to make you look more awake when applied to the waterline. While white liner is great (and will never leave our makeup bags), it can appear a little harsh on the days when you want to go for a more subtle, no-makeup makeup look. Enter taupe-y, beige liners. These eyeliners give you a similar effect with a softer finish and can be worn with or without a full face beat. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite almost-white eyeliners, ahead.
