And add thin line of white eyeliner.

When applying this look, start in the corner of your lower lid.

As you move to the outer corner of your eye, grab a translucent white eyeshadow with a glitter. Complete this look with a white eye liner. If you can find a white eyeliner with glitter in it, your eye makeup will be the hit of the party.
