Your handbag essential might always be lipstick but as far as secret make-up weapons go, having the best eyeliner in there wins hands down. Not only is it the perfect way to add structure to your look in an instant, the latest formulas glide on effortlessly, so you can create flicks, dramatic cat-eye shapes and Bardot-style wings with ease.
UPDATE: There's Glossier-related news on the horizon! Yes, the brand adored by millennials everywhere has launched its first liquid eyeliner entitled Pro Tip. It's a bold offering from the US cosmetics giant and is pretty much the sister product to Brow Flick - a fan favourite liquid brow liner. It's highly pigmented and offers a sharp old flick - making it a great addition to any make-up fans cosmetics collection. The liner will form part of the Brow Trio set and promise of 12-hour wear. We'll take 10 please.
The format you choose will be down to the eyeliner look you wear the most. Pencils or crayons, for example, are best for adding emphasis to a smoky eye or your waterline, while felt tip pen-style nibs will create sharp lines and swoops easily, even when you’re in a rush.
You’ll need a steadier hand for most brush and pot eyeliners but with practice, you can add barely-there strokes close to your lash-line for a polished yet natural effect. Ready to embrace intense definition? Eyes down, look in…
Upvote your eyeliner of choice.
