Recommend me a nice eyeliner?

[Girlinstripedpyjamas]

I’m in the market for a pencil or twist up one. Got pens but need a softer one for day time. Reddish hair and pale skin so maybe a khaki or grey or something? Got John Lewis vouchers to spend so can be a nice one Thank you!!

I've been very impressed by a new one I've got from Barry M - reminds me of the 24/7 urban decay ones. I've got it in grey but it comes in a few colours. It's about £2.99, you could spend your JL vouchers on something else...

Good point - where can I find Barry M?

I quite like the Clinique one in grey blue or a Nars one in a khaki colour. Both are twist up.

I got my Barry M eyeliner in a large Boots. Bought some eyeshadow as well and they had an offer on for a free nail varnish (metal-something is the name) and I was impressed. Haven't used Barry M for years but I'll be using again.

The Pixi Beauty eyeliner pencils are lovely and soft and comes in loads of different colours.

I like the Nyx jumbo eyeliner pencil

Mac do a khaki one called (I think) Uniform, which is nice I like Clinique and Urban Decay eyeliners too.

I’ve been very impressed with my clarins eyeliner, not too harsh by soft and smoky but stays on a treat

Second the Clarins eyeliner. Really lovely to apply/blend and doesn’t move once I’m finished. Lasts ages as well.

I love my Trish McEvoy gel eye liner. It’s really soft, has a smudge sponge and comes in several colours including aubergine. Only disadvantage is that it’s imported and when I last bought one it was only available from Selfridges online. It cost £14.50 so a bit pricey but quite honestly it’s the best one I’ve ever used. I’m in my 50s so need a really soft one.

Oh and the Marc Jacobs ones are lovely too. Very pigmented and soft.

Soap and Glory Smoulder Kohl is excellent, only about £5 too. I usually only buy premium brand make up but have bought this one for years - nice and dense black, stays put but also smudges if you want. The sharpener that comes with it can be temperamental though so I tend to use my own.

Rimmel Exaggerate Smoke N’ Shine Eye Definer in Copper.

It's cheap as chips and it's a really good texture. Better than some of the ££££s ones I've tried wasted money on.

I also have it in more conventional, evening shades and it's available in brights too.

Stila Smudgestick glides better than either Clinique or Mac twist up pencils and has good staying power - comes in lots of shades.

Another vote for Marc Jacobs, Stone(fox) is a lovely grey.

I second Clinique - I have the quickliner in smoky brown for a nice everyday look. I do prefer my bobbi brown gell liner though if I'm making an effort, it needs putting on with a little brush but it's not that much more effort really and it looks better than what I manage with the quickliner. I have the gel in expresso ink which is slightly darker brown than the clinique one.

I third the Clinique quickliner. Until I tried it I was meh about any eyeliner being different to the bogstandard couple of quid itchy scratchy pencil.
Will never change from the quickliner now. Brilliant stuff.
