InStyle Best Beauty Buys: Eyes

“I love the density and texture of these eye pencils,” says makeup artist Craig Beaglehole about MAC Cosmetics Eye Kohl. “My go-to shade is Smolder.”

This Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Waterproof formula creates lengthened, defined lashes sans panda eyes.

Hourglass Curator Lash Instrument, Hourglass Ascent Extended Wear Lash Primer, and Hourglass Realist Defining Mascara Formula have been designed to be used together. The innovative stainless-steel Curator lash tool evenly dispenses the primer and mascara.

With an easy-to-use wand applicator, these shimmering Giorgio Armani Eye Tint shadows leave a subtle tint of long-wearing colour.

“The cool neutral tones and shape of the tool always deliver perfectly shaped brows,” says makeup artist Filomena Natoli about Benefit Goof Proof 
Brow Pencil.

“When it comes to colour pay-off, these eyeshadows are brilliant and not overly powdery,” says makeup artist Michael Brown about Dior 5-Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette.

“It does exactly what it says on the tube–it keeps lashes full, soft and touchable,” says Peter Beard about Maybelline New York Full ’N Soft Mascara.

After using a pencil or powder, apply this clear Estée Lauder Stay-In-Place Brow Gel to set your brows in place for a polished finish.

“The fine-tipped brush creates an even line in a snap,” says InStyle Editor Emily Taylor about Charlotte Tilbury The Feline Flick.
