Favourite Eye Products
For my favourite eye products I've only included my favourite products of the moment, eye makeup is such a broad subject and my favourites change frequently. However some of the products included are all time favourites but others such as eyeshadow and mascara are always prone to change.
1. Revlon Colorstay Eyeshadow Quad in Seductive: This eyeshadow quad is perfect if you want to create a dramatic look for a night out. You don't often find eyeshadow colours like this which is why I love this quad. Not only are all the shades pigmented, blendable, and long-lasting, but it's completely affordable. The star of the quad is definitely the shade in the bottom left corner, a matte but very pigmented purple.
2. NYX's Jumbo Eye Penicls: A great and affordable cult favourite. These pencils are extremely creamy, pigmented, and blendable; perfect as an eyeshadow base. Two of my favourites are the shades Milk, a plain white, and Iced Mocha, a metallic light brown.
3. Urban Decay Primer Potion: Another cult favourite, but for good reason. This primer definitely makes sure your eye makeup stays put throughout the day, preventing fall-out and fading, and ensuring more vibrant results from your eyeshadows.
4. MAC Pro Reflects in Pearl: Even though this is a pro product, if you can find it on Ebay, ordering it would be well worth your while. This glittery pigment is amazing at brightening up any eye look, especially a dramatic one. I like to apply Too Faced's Shadow Insurance Glitter Glue over my eyeshadow and then pat on the pigment to make my eyes really sparkle.
5. Lancome's Hypnose Doll Lashes Mascara: A great mascara that lifts and volumizes to give a doll-like effect. The unique, cone-like wand is key in providing this effect, the skinnier tip helping to coat the hard-to-get lashes in the corners of your eyes. This mascara is also formulated without unhealthy ingredients such as parabens and sulfate.
DiorShow Waterproof Mascara: My all time favourite high-end waterproof mascara. It gives incredible volume and length without running, smudging, and flaking when wet. You can look glamourous even in the water.
Chanel Eyelash Curler: Amazing tool that will give you a perfect curl and really open up your eyes. Paired with the Lancome Hypnose Doll Lashes I can always get full, glamourous lashes, better than any falsies.
6. MAC's Fluidline in Blacktrack: I have yet to find a gel liner I like better than this one. I use this and a MAC 266 angled brush whenever I want to create a sleek cat eye. It's creamy formula ensures a smooth application and once set, does not smudge or transfer. An overall great product, another of my all time favourites.
