“The eye must-haves that no well-dressed lashes should be without.”
Estee Lauder Little Black Liner, £22
This is an eyeliner with options. I have to admit I don’t often opt for the ‘felt-tip’ style liquid liners; I find that usually using a thin brush glides across the lid softer. But, I found this one lovely to use, as it was more wet with product which worked great on the lids.
The thin nib delivers an ultra-fine line and very precise application, while the thicker end seriously ups the impact for a thicker bolder look. It has the deepest black, glossy pigment, with a non-smudging formula, yet easy to remove also.
I used the thicker end to build up my line first, and switched up to the fine precise end to get perfect thin flicks and the line towards the centre of my eye nice and thin too.

The Estee Lauder Little Black Primer, £20
This is a good’un. Why aren’t there more tinted lash primers? It just seems to make sense. Plus if you’re not a mascara wearer you have the option of wearing this lovely little primer on its own for a little lash nourishment, as it coats your lashes with a tint (instead of white that most lash primers seem to have) and brings them out naturally. As a primer, it is an optional base for mascara, that nourishes, lengthens, volumises and lifts. I cant go without lash primer now, as it makes such a difference. You can also use this primer to set your lashes too, if you coat it over your mascara it gives a long-wearing, water-resistant topcoat that helps reduce any smudging or flaking.
The Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara, £21
This one really does coat on volume. With it’s weightless formula it lifts the lashes up without being weighed down. I have fairly flat lashes, so this one works really well for me. I’m writing this hours after application and they’re still pointing upwards! Comes in both black and brown shades.
#LittleBlackLiner available to buy now from Boots.
