    Some makeup products are self-explanatory. Red lipstick will make your lips pop, concealer covers up perceived imperfections, mascara accentuates lashes, and foundation creates an even canvas for everything else to go on top of. But what about nude eyeliner?\n<\/p>\n

    While it\u2019s obviously designed for your lash line, nude eyeliner is one of those products that can be used in many ways. That\u2019s why it\u2019s a mainstay in many professional makeup artists\u2019 kits and deserves to be in yours, too. If you\u2019re still unsure if it\u2019s necessary, we tapped two experts to explain 8 ways you can use it in your beauty routine. Trust us, you\u2019ll be running to your local beauty aisle in no time.\n<\/p>\n

      Use on Lower Lash Line to Make Eyes Look Bigger <\/span><\/h2>\n

      The most popular use for nude eyeliner is (shocker) on the eyes. However, it all boils down to how you apply it. \u201cThe trick I really like with nude eyeliner is to use it underneath your eyes to make them look bigger,\u201d says Jenny Patinkin, makeup artist and founder of Jenny Patinkin Eco-Luxe Beauty Tools. \u201cApply it like any eyeliner, across your lower lash line. Then use [a smudging brush] to apply a smokey wash of soft taupe eyeshadow underneath it. It’s a riff on drag makeup, where you are creating the illusion that your lash line is lower than it actually is, making your eyes look much bigger.\u201d To complete the look, Patinkin says to apply mascara to your lower lashes to camouflage the nude liner and enhance the natural look.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Nude eyeliner can also be used to brighten the appearance of your eyes. \u201cMy favorite way [to use nude eyeliner] is to help brighten tired-looking eyes by applying it in the waterline, as white pencils can look too harsh and severe for daytime,\u201d says celebrity makeup artist and founder of Carmindy Beauty Cosmetics, Carmindy.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      If you feel like your eyes look pretty bright all on their own but still want to illuminate the appearance of your eye makeup, skip the waterline application and opt for your inner corners. This will create a brighter, more wide-eye appearance.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Worried about accidentally over-plucking your brows? Carmindy recommends using nude eyeliner to create your ideal arch shape. \u201c[This will] make sure that you don\u2019t overdo it or pluck the wrong brow area,\u201d she explains. \u201cThen any hairs above or below, pluck away. This stencil-like technique will help ensure you don\u2019t accidentally botch your brows.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Nude eyeliner can also be used to camouflage signs of aging. \u201cSketch it into your smile lines or any other areas where you have little wrinkles or indentations,\u201d Patinkin says. \u201cIt helps to create the visual impression that your skin is all even. After you sketch it into any little lines, use a stiff brush to feather the edges so it fades into the rest of your makeup. Then set it with a tiny bit of powder.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      By now you know that nude eyeliner can be used to brighten, enlarge, and blur. With that in mind, consider applying it to your cupid\u2019s bow. Doing so will brighten the overall appearance of your pout, enhance the fullness of your upper lip, and blur any fine lines around the edges.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Nude eyeliner also comes in handy when sketching your daily brow shape. After applying your go-to brow powder, pencil, or pen, use nude eyeliner to brighten and define the underside of your brow and the top of the tail. This technique makes brows look perfectly sculpted with little effort.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Just as nude eyeliner can be used to blur fine lines and wrinkles, it can work wonders for small blemishes, too. \u201cA nude eyeliner pencil is also a great base to apply on a vein, red spot, pimple, or bruise before applying your foundation,\u201d Carmindy reveals. \u201cIt acts as a more concentrated mini concealer.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
