Now that you've treated your eyes to a good pampering with eye treatments, it's time to beautify them with these products. In this category, we've got a selection of eyeshadow palettes, liquid eyeshadows, liners, mascaras, and more to help elevate your look.
Liquid Liner: Anastasia Beverly Hills Black Liquid Liner
This true-black liquid liner is not only waterproof, but also dries fast to leave a highly pigmented matte finish that will complement any eyeshadow look. Its felt-tip precision applicator is especially great for drawing on fine, precise lines, perfect for achieving a multitude of looks with ease.
Pencil Liner: Gucci Stylo Contour Des Yeux Eyeliner Pencil
This long-wear, smudge-proof and waterproof eyeliner pencil has a creamy texture that’s easy
to glide on. Eyeliner lovers are sure to love the looks they’ll be able to create with this pencil.
Eyeshadow Palette (Neutral): Burberry Runway Eye Palette (Limited Edition)
This sleek golden palette comes with nine complementary shades in matte, shimmer, and metallic finishes, perfect for those who love mixing things up with their everyday makeup. Each pigmented shade only takes one swipe for the colour to pop.
Eyeshadow Palette (Mood-Lifting): Natasha Denona Circo Loco Eyeshadow Palette
A dramatic, fun palette for those who aren’t afraid of a little colour. Featuring 15 vibrant matte and metallic shades, you’re sure to have plenty of fun creating bold looks with this palette.
Powder Eyeshadow: Nars Single Eyeshadow
Dr Rachel Ho says: “Good for all-day wear, especially if you are looking for a versatile, natural colour. The shadow is easily buildable and does not scatter on your face when applying. Holds up well throughout the day.”
Liquid Eyeshadow: Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Liquid Eyeshadow
This velvety-smooth formulation delivers pigmented shades across the eyelid without the usual fall-out you’d get from powdered eyeshadows. It is also long-lasting, waterproof, and crease-resistant.
Lengthening Mascara: Christian Louboutin Beauty Les Yeux Noirs Lash Amplifying Lacquer
An alternative to expensive lash extensions, this mascara delivers volume, definition, length, and lift that lasts all day long. For a more dramatic look, apply the mascara left to right, then left again, instead of combing upwards.
Voluminous Mascara: Lily Lolo Big Lash Mascara
For those with sparse lashes, here’s a quick fix for you. “It was very effective at separating lashes and has a good wand shape. I found this gave me clean lashes with some length, colour and volume, and does not clump,” Dr Rachel Ho. It is also ophthalmologic tested, marking it safe for sensitive eyes.
