An essential part of any makeup arsenal, eyeliner is one of those items that can either make or break your look. Whether you’re going for subtle definition, a dramatic cat eye flick, thick liner or even an ombre smoky-eye effect – there are so many different types out on the market today to suit every style and occasion. And with this being the season of all things sparkly, glittering and shimmery – we’re here to give you some makeup suggestions on how to rock this stunning new trend.
Studded eyeliner is one of the most surprising new trends to hit our makeup counter. The natural eye shape looks fantastic with a full-on sparkly look, but it’s not for everyone. Studded liner can be quite heavy in some cases and what you would want to do is pick a glitter liner and apply it to the lid, but not where you want your eye shadow. This will help create a more subtle look than what we’ve seen on runways or at festivals this summer.
And if all these new glowing trends aren’t quite for you – then why don’t you try out the most classic of makeup techniques? The cat eye flick. With winged liner being one of this seasons hottest trends, it’s only obvious that we would want to go with something a little more reserved and classy.
And last but certainly not least is our favorite new trend of the season – glitter eyebrows. With a look that has been seen on almost every major fashion week catwalk, we’re seeing this cool and quirky addition to be one of our favorites. It’s definitely not something you see everyday but it does give off such an amazing effect with your makeup style.
Anyway, enough of the trend talk. Let’s take a look at the best brands of eyeliner out there:
8. Tom Ford Eye Kohl Intense Black Eyeliner
We love Tom Ford’s new eyeliners which are created with an intense, long-lasting formula that will be sure to last you all day. The eyeshadows come in a black color but also have other shades available including grey and brown so they can match any skin tone or outfit. The eyeliners are designed to be smudge-proof and waterproof so you won’t have to worry about them coming off on your pillow or melting under the hot sun. These eyeliners are definitely a good investment for your makeup bag.
7. Lancôme Le Crayon Khôl Smoky Eyeliner
The Smoky Eyeliner is a must have for any makeup lover, especially when it comes to eyeliners. The innovative formula offers an intense color payoff that’s ultra-pigmented and silky smooth with the perfect amount of glide on application. Plus, you can apply this liner perfectly in one glide. And it’s not just for eyes. The Smoky Eyeliner can be used to define any feature you want – whether that is your brow bone, lips or even the cupid’s bow on your face. This product promises long lasting wear and stay-true color with its waterproof formula perfect for all day wear.
6. Charlotte Tilbury Rock ‘N’ Kohl Eyeliner Pencil
This eyeliner is a beautiful metallic finish which makes it perfect for adding some shimmer to any of your day or night looks. It’s also great as an eyeshadow base and can be used on its own, either softly blended out with the tip of our finger along lash line – creating very subtle lines. To create a more defined look, this pencil can be used with or without an eyeliner brush to really give your eyes that extra pop of color and definition.
5. Jillian Dempsey Khôl Eyeliner
This cream liner is a great product for beginners and it’s not too difficult to master. The kohl pencil comes in three different shades: black, brown or white – which makes this fantastic if you want that Kardashian look with the winged-liner. This eyeliner acts as both an eye shadow and an eyeliner and it’s perfect for creating a smoky-eye look. The black liner works really well with the white pencil (if you want that ‘cat eye, winged effect).
4. Chantecaille Luster Glide Silk Infused Eyeliner
This is a top-tier eyeliner on the market. It’s super creamy and smooth, which makes it easy to apply with your finger or an angled brush for that perfect flick. The high shine finish adds definition as well as making eyes look larger than they really are – so this may be one of the best eyeliners to get if you’re looking for a more dramatic look.
3. Revlon So Fierce Vinyl Eyeliner
Revlon is a brand that we all know and love. It’s been around for years, it does amazing quality products at really affordable prices so you can see why everyone loves them. And with this eyeliner being their bestselling product ever – if anyone knows how to do an excellent eye liner then Revlon does.
This is a modern take on the classic pencil eyeliner. The product claims to be waterproof and smudge proof, which means it’s perfect for any day whether you are at work or out with friends in the evening. It has an easy-to-go tip that allows us to get the perfect flick in no time.
2. Fenty Beauty Flyliner
This product is one of our favorites because it comes with a mini sharpener to keep your winged liner precise. It’s also very long lasting, has amazing pigmentation and doesn’t smudge at all. This blacker than black color will leave you completely speechless the first time you wear it.
1. NYX Professional Makeup Matte Liquid Liner
NYX Professional Makeup Matte Liquid Liner is one of the best liquid eyeliners you can find. It’s a must have for any makeup lover or beauty junkie. NYX creates some amazing products that are available at an affordable price, making it easy to access high-quality cosmetics without breaking your bank. Their matte liquid eyeliner is as good as it gets. There’s no tugging or pulling, and the formula dries quickly so you can line your eyes in less than a minute.
The NYX Professional Makeup Matte Liquid Liner comes with an ultra-fine felt tip that makes applying liner to your lash line a breeze. Use it to give your eyes that bold pop of color you’ve been waiting for all day long.
