Best colour crayon
The Body Shop Freestyle Colour Crayon in Empower
An eye liner, or in this case, crayon, can usually be quite tricky to apply. However, when you find one that goes on smooth and gives great colour pay-off, you wouldn’t want to use anything else. We love the velvety finish this one leaves, and the slightly thicker tip means you can create graphic liners with ease. Packaging is also recyclable and it’s vegan-friendly.
Best mascara
Anyone who has ever used this mascara will know why it’s a winner. The straight, cone shape makes it easy to get to the very root of lashes without any smudges, and the intense black formula dries quickly to not cause any fall-out. It’s affordable, reliable and creates lashes that wow, every single time.
Best lash tool
If you want a sleeker, more refined look, a lash separator can work wonders. The handy shape helps to eliminate any clumps while pushing lashes up for a fanning, voluminous effect.
Best pigmented palette
Revolution Forever Flawless Eyeshadow Palette Butterfly
Everything you need in an eyeshadow palette! A beautiful mix of matte, shimmer and even glitter options to create a variety of looks. The colours are extremely pigmented and doesn’t fade with wear, which makes it a budget-friendly option as well. We also love the big mirror, making it your perfect travel companion.
Best eye pencil
Clarins Crayon Khôl Eye Pencil
A multi-purpose eyeliner with intense colour pay-off, available in a selection of classic shades. The handy little brush on the other end of the eyeliner serves as a blending tool, or can be used to extend your liner into a wing.
Best single eyeshadow
So many shades, textures and finishes available, and so much value crammed into one little pot. It not only lasts for a long time, but has great colour pay-off and blends seamlessly. You can use it wet or dry, subtle or bold, the possibilities are endless.
Best brow pencil
Be your own microblading artists and effortlessly create a defined, natural look thanks to the hair-like bristles. Sweep through brows and watch it transform your brows with maximum staying power, available in different shades to suit every face.
Best brow mascara
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze
The brushed up brow craze is not over yet, which is why this seemingly innocent product is so surprising. Lock your brows in place with just a few strokes – simply dip a spoolie into the clear formula and brush through and up. Your brows will not move, guaranteed!
