Maybelline Great Lash Mascara. We’re yet to find a makeup artist who isn’t a fan of this product. It first launched in 1971, and has been a best seller ever since, thanks to its small, easy-to-wield brush that coats hard to reach lashes.

Benefit Gimme Brow. Available in two shades for light and dark arches, “it holds brows in place while also making them appear slightly thicker,” says Makeup Artist, Peter Beard.

MAC Cosmetics Eye Kohl. With a smooth, crayon-like texture, it’s ideal for creating sharp lines or can be blended to create a sultry smoky eye.
