My older cousin (she won’t mind me saying that) who is much more into her make up than me, she’s very stylish I everyone in the family listens to her when it comes to beauty, clothes, shopping, she married an Italian and now lives in Rome to give you context, put me into this eyeliner, she said “it’ll be perfect for you, one stroke and you are done” and boy was she right.

I have always avoided a liquid I eyeliner. The one’s I’ve tried in the past always either ended up making a mess, running down my face on smudges in the crease of my eye, even if I waited and waited with my eyes half closed until I thought the liner had dried. I’d actually given up ever thinking there was a product out there for me. Until my favourite Cuz came home to visit (she live in Rome now) put me on to Dior on stage eyeliner. Sounds fancy. It’s not. It’s like an old fashioned very thin felt tip pen you actually cannot go wrong with. One sweep across the lid and you are done. It’s black black, not patchy and dries instantly so no mess. I was sceptical but girls and boys this one really is easy. Even if you’ve never done eyeliner before in your life. I swear my gran could do this.

It come in Matt black, satin black and a whole load of other shades if that’s your thing, blue, purple, green, brown. I like simple black. It costs £35 which for me was a lot however I think the ease of application makes up for the steep price ticket and currently if you shop at Sephora you can get 15% off with coupon code NEW15 at checkout which does give you a bit of a saving.

I’d given up on a dramatic eyeliner because I thought I just couldn’t do it. And I don’t have money to waste trying loads of different products that don’t work for me. So thanks S.J if you are reading. I went for it and it’s worked.
