The Best Expert-Rated Stay-All-Day Eye Make-Up
Hy-Power Eye, Cheek & Lip Pigment Paint, £23 | Haus Labs
Mr. Big Mascara, £21 (was £28) | Lancôme
MicroLiner Ink Eyeliner, £24 | Shiseido
“The Haus Labs Hy-Power Pigment Paints tubes are really versatile and give you that velvety, long-lasting finish that doesn’t move. As a bonus, they’re multi-use, so you can even wear them on the lips. I’m obsessed with lashes and always on the hunt for that perfect mascara. Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara is incredible. It gives you that fluttery, dense lash line we all want but still maintains that flexible feel. For a final touch of definition, Shiseido MicroLiner Ink is perfect for precisely framing the eyes. It lasts well but is still comfortable enough to wear in the waterline.” – Valeria Ferreira
1 COAT WOW! Extra Volumizing and Lifting Mascara, £19.25 (was £22) | Huda Beauty
Eye Wand, £25 | Vieve
“Vieve’s Eye Wands are really creamy and easy to use. They come in a beautiful array of tones – there’s one to suit every skint tone and occasion and they’re budge-proof. For mascara, I rely on Huda Beauty 1 Coat Wow!. It never flakes or falls down and always does exactly what I need it to.” – Katie Jane Hughes
Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick, £29.50 | Bobbi Brown
24 Hour Kajal Waterproof Eyeliner, £22.50 | Bobbi Brown
“I love products that combine all-day wear with easy application and these do exactly that. Bobbi Brown’s Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick glides on effortlessly, delivering pigment that stays flawless for hours without creasing, while the Kajal Eyeliner adds that definition at the lash line in one smooth and blendable swipe. I just love the fact that once it’s on, you don’t need to think about it the rest of the day. I highly recommend pairing the ‘Downtown Brown’ shade of the cream eyeshadow with the ‘Cacao’ liner – both are perfect for winter.” – Amy Conway
Pradalines Eye Pencil, £25 | Prada
Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Waterproof, £32 | YSL Beauty
“Prada Beauty’s Pradalines Eye Pencil in ‘Wood’ is new to my collection but I’ve hardly put it down. I love the creamy texture and it’s incredibly versatile, allowing me to create multiple liner looks – from a sharp line to a diffused, softer look. Once it’s set, it doesn’t move and it works brilliantly in the waterline too. I never hear anyone talking about the YSL Beauty Volume Effet Faux Cils Waterproof Mascara, but it has been my go-to since I started wearing make-up. Nothing makes my lashes look the way this mascara does. If you’re prone to even a small amount of smudging, you’ll want to give this a go. No panda eyes, no flaking, just truly amazing-looking lashes.” – Georgia Rose
Eye Tint Liquid Eyeshadow, £32 | Armani Beauty Hypnôse Mascara, £22.50 (was £30) | Lancôme
“The key to a long-lasting eye look is effortless elegance. Armani Beauty’s Eye Tint melts into the skin like silk, creating a soft wash of colour that doesn’t crease and stays put all day long. I pair it with Lancôme’s Hypnôse Mascara, which gives the lashes refined, buildable volume without ever feeling heavy. It’s the kind of combination that takes you from morning meetings to evening events without a single touch-up.” – Vivi Solomon
Eye Wand, £25 | Vieve
Icon Mascara, £26 | Vieve
“The 90s are trending yet again and I am obsessed with the Vieve Eye Wand in ‘Concrete’ – a deep charcoal grey that will help you create that iconic nostalgic eye look. Easy-to-blend, it glides on in seconds but once it sets, it won’t budge. I then finish my look with the Icon Mascara, which delivers instant volume, curl and definition in just a few strokes, completing my signature smokey eye.” – Jamie Genevieve
Eye Tint Liquid Eyeshadow, £32 | Armani Beauty
Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara, £25.60 (was £32) | Hourglass
“I’m on my third bottle of ‘Cashew’ by Armani Beauty, it makes for the quickest, easiest wash of colour and subtle depth. I love that it dries down to a matte finish while still feeling weightless, plus I know I can rely on it to last all day without creasing. My mascara of choice is Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions in ‘Espresso’ – I can almost guarantee I’ll be asked what I’m wearing when I have this on my lashes. The rich brown shade offers a softer alternative to black for daytime wear without compromising on length, definition and all-day lift.” – Ellise Ferguson
