ALL THE LINERS


With my small and undefined eyes, I love eyeliner... Whether it's an attempt at winged liquid liner or a bit of under-eye smudging, I can't get enough of it! It can prove tricky though to find a good eyeliner that stays on all day, is easy to use and doesn't smudge so today, I thought I'd do a little round-up of all my favourite pencils and pen forms of the stuff..

Starting off with the liquid eyeliner, we have the Topshop Magic Liner which has a very long 'felt-tip' style nib masking it really easy to use for winged eyeliner. The formula also lasts all day without budging or fading and it's also pretty affordable from Topshop. But if felt-tip style liners aren't your thing, there's always the proper liquid formula eyeliners like the Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner. Although I don't find this form of liner to be the easiest to use, this one still has a nicely shaped brush and like the Topshop one, this also stays around all day and doesn't seem to crumble as the day goes on!

Moving onto the pencil/kohl kind of liners, the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencils are an essential to have in your makeup bag if you, like me, love a bit of liner. Perversion is a extremely pigmented and long-lasting but creamy black shade that I use when I want to go a little darker on the eyes but UD also do other colours including some slightly softer brown and golden shades. For a softer kohl liner, MAC's Coffee liner is another staple in my makeup bag and I use this shade almost everyday. although MAC's liner offerings aren't quite as pigmented or creamy as the Urban Decay version, they are nevertheless still very long-lasting and not quite as dramatic as UD's perversion can be.

Thanks for reading!

  1. I actually don't usually wear much eyeliner, but my favorite has to be kajal. If you haven't tried it, pick yourself up a stick. xx It's so creamy and gorgeous, especially with some shimmery eyeshadow and a soft pink lip. ;)
    P.S. I'd love if you could check out my blog/follow via GFC if you please! (It's okay if you don't too. <3)
