Black eyeliner is a make-up bag must-have, and this season, it’s ramped up to the power of ten! From a feline flick to a smokey smudge, black liner is all over the autumn catwalks. Whatever your style, there’s a look to suit – and a new generation of products to help you achieve it! Here are five current favourites at She Said Beauty:
Clarins 3 Dot Liner
Winged liner is big news this coming season, but don’t worry if you’re not blessed with the steadiest of hands. Clarins’ new 3 Dot Liner, £20, could be the answer to your prayers. With its triple-point applicator this is a cinch to apply – just dot along the lashes and join the dots! The perfect cats eye is just three dots away… but you’d best be quick! This is limited edition and we’re predicting it will fly off the shelves.
Stick on Flicks
Feel like experimenting? Cheat your way to super sexy eyes with the latest innovation in liner – Flick Tips! Stick on alternatives to freehand eyeliner, these come in two variations – classic or party packs (£8.99 each), both contacting a selection of different designs. Choose from jewelled flicks, double wings, swirls, oriental style and more. Just apply liner to your lashline, peel off a design, press gently to the corner of your eyelid – and you’re done!
Love Phat Liner
Dark, kohl-rimmed eyes never go out of fashion. Create a smokey, smudgey look with this chunky black Love Phat Liner pencil, a bargain at £3.99 (or free with your July She Said Beauty box!). This is a really intense colour that looks great as a liner, as an eyeshadow base or as an allover eye colour – it makes it super easy to create that fuss-free, rock chick vibe.
NARS Eyeliner Stylos
For a really graphic liner look, you can’t beat a precise, marker-style pen. We’re in luck then that NARS Eyeliner Stylos are back, and they’re better than ever. Reformulated to give long lasting, pigment rich colour, these stay put for up to 24 hours. And thanks to the superfine tip, you can create a really precise line for a variety of catwalk inspired looks. These are £19.
Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner
If you want a great gel liner, you’d best be prepared to pay big – that is, until this little pot of magic from Maybelline hit our shores. Presented in a glass pot with a screw-on lid, this looks and feels much dearer than its £7.99 price-tag – and outperforms products at more than twice its price. Intense and long lasting, it glides on for a look that’s as natural or dramatic as you like. And it comes with a free brush, too!
