Though many celebs are ready and willing to give us makeup tips and tricks, no recommendation piques our interest quite as much as one from Victoria Beckham. As we’ve seen from her skin care routine, Victoria’s beauty regimen has a tendency to be quite extensive and rather costly. That’s exactly why this one-step, one-product straightforward makeup hack from her has us all kinds of excited.
In a post shared to Victoria’s Instagram, the fashion designer and beauty entrepreneur detailed her method for creating brighter and wider-looking eyes. The secret? White eyeliner. Using the Instant Brightening Waterline Pencil from her range, Victoria Beckham Beauty, “use it to open your eyes [and] remove any redness,” she explained, applying the pencil to her waterline.
Labelled in another post as her “secret weapon,” Victoria described the cream-hued liner as a “universal tool that brightens and wakes up the eyes.”
So how do we get our hands on our own? The exact pencil Victoria used is available on Victoria Beckham Beauty for $48, however, this effect can be easily replicated with any white eyeliner, so don’t worry too much about having the identical product.
In fact, using a white eyeliner across your waterline is a beauty trick that’s long been used by makeup artists, beautyheaven members and even Tyra Banks as a subtle and instant way to illuminate eyes.
Here are the white liners our bh members recommend…

Have you tried Victoria Beckham’s eye-brightening hack? If so, which white pencil did you use?
Must get my hands on a white eyeliner.
me too -I would like to try this
I need a new one – now is a good time!
I am familiar with this and have done it before
Did not know about this trick, maybe try it one day.
Could be fun and doesn’t have to be expensive
I always do my eyes and refuse to obey any regulations. There are so many wonderful colours of eye shadow and eyeliner out there and not enough time in the day to utilize them all, but I’ll give it my best go. I’ve tried BB creams in the words from letters past, but the one or two available tones don’t match my skin tone.
I tried, looked a bit weird
Yeh I’m finding less is more with this trick!
try cream instead … looks better and still works
I haven’t tried it I remember makeup artists doing this years ago. Looks great.
It does make a big difference but I just don’t like applying product so close to my eyeball
Ive done this before.
What did you think of the result Jessica 712?
I have never tried it but worth a try
I have seen people doing this but haven’t tried it myself
I have seen this before! Good idea.
I think I’d have to go a waterproof one for that waterline!
Oooh cool but my eyes are massive already! X
That’s pretty clever, I will have to buy one too.
id love to try her makeup- so damn expensive. i find an off white / cream looks better with this technique
It would look more natural I guess.
I’ve heard of this hack before but my eyes are really sensitive and it doesn’t work well for my watery eyes
I have to try this.
I tend not to wear eye makeup because my eyes just water. I’d love to be able to wear eyeliner but I don’t think it will work for me.
Myself Personally I have watery eyes and I am using Waterproof Eyeliner Pencils and they work out wonderful you should try them for yourself.
I save this trick of nighttime only as it does look a bit odd in the day.
Mmm i use to do this, then ran out of the pencil and never replaced it
I don’t own one.I should try this.
This is probably the only makeup hack I know, I use a cheap eyeliner from Essence, expensive stuff is wasted on me as I don’t wear it enough, A pale silver shade is nice too.
Interesting thought
Will have to get some White Eyeliner and try this Tip, would it still work if you applied the White Eyeliner to the waterline and a brown eyeliner underneath the eyeliner????
Interesting, kind of, not sure if would suit or not
I’ve actually heard of this before, and it does work! it’s a really good idea.
Very nice. I will surely try it soon
Elden Ring
I think I need a hands on lesson on applying my eyeliner.
I’ve never tried white liner. I have always used a skin toned one on the water line if I use anything. I must try this.
I tried this but to be honest didn’t find it that effective.
I’ve used the white Eyeliner trick on and off over too many years to count. I just get a white liner from chemist Warehouse, or add a cheap one if I’m buying other things from a store. I don’t feel the need to spend a lot of money when those in the maybelline and Rimmel price range do just as good a job.
As a Mum, I should just get this tattooed directly onto my waterline haha
I’ve tried using white liner on my waterline, but it didn’t fully cover the whole area, so the visible bits looked pinker.
Interesting tip!
I use a white pencil every time I do my eyemakeup. I use one from Mecca Max.
