Kat Von D Beauty Gel Liner @ £19 (code EMJSPH)

As a Make-up Artist working with many musicians who will probably get hot and sweaty while they are performing- it is even more important to find products which aren’t going to slip off half way through a gig. I must say that this is my go to as it really doesn’t budge. Whats also wonderful about it, is that it blends beautifully- so ideal for my smokey eye lovers. But when it sets it doens’t budge.

INIKA Organic pencil Eyeliner @ £19: (code EMJW15)

INIKA is a brand that focuses on natural and organic ingredients. Their eyeliners are some of my favourites. They are packed with pigment, blend easily and I find that they also stay put very well.

Charlotte Tilbury pencil liner @ £23:

This eyeliner delivers an incredibly rich, deeply pigmented black color that’s perfect for creating bold, smoky eyes. It effortlessly glides on, making application a breeze. It doesn’t have as much staying power as the gel liners, but because it isn’t gel it gives a softer finish.

Kat Von D Pen Tattoo liner @ £20.90 (code EMJSPH)

If you’re on the hunt for the perfect pen eyeliner, I highly recommend the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner. Its precision tip ensures flawless, fine lines, and it’s long-lasting, so you can count on your winged liner looking sharp all day. Plus, its intense black pigment is unbeatable, making it a must-have for achieving bold, dramatic eye looks with ease.

Tropic gel liner @ £16

Another favourite brand for me. Tropic is entirely vegan which makes it super easy to shop with them. Their gel liners are DEVINE. They come in a range of shades. Including my favourite green eyeliner ‘Emerald’. they are super long lasting and also blend easily before they set. However-downfall is that they are coated in plastic making them not as eco friendly as I would like.

In conclusion, the world of vegan and cruelty-free eyeliners is not only about looking and feeling good but also doing good. By choosing products that align with your values, you’re making a statement – one that promotes kindness to animals and a more sustainable future for our planet.
