Eye makeup: mascara, eyeliner and kajal

Eye makeup emphasises the eyes and gives the look depth. Here you will find mascaras, eyeliners and kajal pencils suited to a natural everyday look as well as a more expressive evening one.

How to choose eye makeup

Start with the effect you want. Volumising mascaras give a fuller look, lengthening mascaras stretch the lashes, and curling ones lift them slightly. Kajal and eyeliner add definition and depth to the eyes.

• Mascara: choose black mascara for a classic look; the shape of the brush determines how dense or long the lashes become.
• Eyeliner: suited to drawing a precise line along the lash line.
• Kajal pencil: a soft texture that works for the waterline and for a smudged effect.
• Make-up remover: a suitable remover keeps the skin around the eyes clean.

How do I apply mascara evenly?

Start at the base of the lashes and wiggle the brush towards the tips. Let the first coat dry before adding a second.

How do I draw a straight line with eyeliner?

Rest your elbow on a table, look into the mirror and draw the line in short strokes along the lash line.
