Eyeliner is coming back in a big, big way this season. And we’re not talking soft or smudgy kohl – we’re talking heavy block colour, precision black lines and ‘devil horn’ flicks. With this in mind, I took it upon myself to try and test five of the best liquid liners. Here’s to being oh-so on-trend all season long...
L’Oréal Paris Superliner, £5.99
This has a fat, spongy applicator tip which makes precision painting a breeze. It’s also great for drawing dramatic block lines. Super long-lasting – it didn’t budge or fade all day long. A great budget buy.
Available nationwide
Guerlain Eye-Liner, £19.50
I’m a sucker for packaging, so I loved the look of the Guerlain liner – a darling little ink well with gold lid. The liner itself is pretty good too; dark, dramatic colour glides on easily whilst the applicator with its lengthy handle and thin tip is perfect for drawing neat lines and flicks.

Bourjois Liner Clubbing, £5.95
As the name suggests, this liner is perfect for nights out. The colour is as dark as it comes and the formula is amazing – talk about long-lasting. The liner lasted longer than I did on a night out and didn’t smudge or fade. Fantastic value for money as well. It comes in a range of úber-cool colours too, which swung it for me!

Clarins eye liner, £16
A great liner pen with a felt tip and lengthy handle for strong application. The colour isn’t as black as the others and tends to fade slightly so I’d recommend this liner for day to day wear use rather than for a dramatic evening look.

NARS Liquid Eyeliner, £20.50
The packaging looks super-stylish, but not too sure on practicality. The separate brush it comes with is cute enough but, being so small, it makes application a bit tricky. Definitely better for the seasoned liner-wearer. Take the time to practice and the results are worth it though - power-pigmented colour and a great long-wearing formula
