Beauty Awards 2016 Best Of The Best: Gel Eyeliner

Makeup artists and makeup fiends adore gel eyeliner for its smooth texture, lustrous finish and staying power. The only downside? Gel eyeliners tend to come in a pot, which makes them fiddly to apply with a separate brush and cumbersome to bring around for touch-ups. That’s what makes Marc Jacobs’ Highliner Gel Eye Crayon so revolutionary.

This extreme wear, waterproof gel eyeliner in a crayon form boasts a super malleable formula that glides on like a dream, and dries quickly to stay put through a day at the office (and through all-nighters too). It comes with a built-in sharpener at the base, in a wide variety of shades that can be layered on for party-perfect looks that are guaranteed to turn heads.

COMPLEMENTARY PRODUCTS

Just because you’re sweating it out on the dance floor doesn’t mean your blusher should fade. This ultra-lightweight powder blush features Japanese “Air Powder” pigments that are deposited into the compact via a special “soufflage” process for a super-silky, skin-like finish. The dual-shade compact blends perfectly for a customised flush, all day and all night.

Imagine a lip gloss that gives you the look of 30 coats of gloss with just one slick of the wand. This little tube boasts the breakthrough Triple Shine Complex and an antioxidant-rich apricot and passion fruit infusion complex to naturally hydrate, volumise and protect lips while delivering unprecedented colour and shine.

Fancy the dramatic, lush look of falsies but loathe the hassle of putting them on? The unique combination of creamy waxes and gels lends lashes a budge-proof, instantly plush and intensely pigmented fashion-forward look that would fit right onto the runway.
