Budget products for tightlining and eyebrows

That's it really. Can't afford Laura Mercier and the like so wondering about cheaper alternatives for a good tightlining effect. I prefer to use a pen/crayon rather than gel and a brush.

Also advice appreciated on eyebrow crayon/pen, again reasonably priced please. I am blonde with darkish eyebrows.

Thank you Grin

You mention LM but it sounds like gel rather than the cake liner. I find the LM cake liner best and pretty reasonably priced as it lasts a long long time ime.

For eyebrows try Sleek, available in bigger Superdrugs. They do a thing called 'eyebrow stylist' here that in the fair shade is excellent for my blonde hair with darkish brows, not at all orange. I bought a different eyebrow kit from them too this week which looks good - this one

Depending on your age you might just want to look at a liquid liner with a brush or a felt tip pen style liner (this is the easiest).

I'm 40 and wear eyeliner every day (and tightline if I'm going out). The cake liners and gel liners are no good for me since the texture is too firm and it drags on my skin. I therefore struggle to get the polished look. With a liquid liner and a brush its no problem at all. I just use a bourgeois one. Not expensive.

I just bought the Sleek brow box and I much prefer it to the Benefit one, it's cheaper too.

I Covet Thee beauty blog mentioned the Soap and Glory The Archery product as being v good for eyebrows. I use a & Other Stories eyebrow pencil.

I run an eyeliner under my top eyelashes every day, and it gives a good, but subtle effect. I use a M&S Autograph eyeliner pencil.
