## Eyes To Mesmerise 



#### £26 | Charlotte Tilbury 



 

“This cream eyeshadow creates maximum impact with minimum effort. It’s the ultimate foolproof product as it’s quick to apply and easy to blend – perfect for beginners. It contains soft-focus illuminating pigments which smooth over any imperfections. Better yet, it can be worn alone as it creates dimension all by itself.” *–*[ *Leandra Kis*](https://www.instagram.com/leandrakis/)*,*[ *Beam*](https://bemorebeam.com/)

## Colorfix Matte 



#### £17 (was £20) | Danessa Myricks 



 

“For a soft, 90s-inspired eye, ‘Exposed’ by Danessa Myricks is such a beautiful taupe. It creates instant impact, yet blends effortlessly and dries down into a diffused matte finish. This shade works brilliantly by itself and complements every eye colour. Plus, it has incredible staying power, lasting up to 24 hours without fading.” *–*[ *Rosie Cerosio*](https://www.instagram.com/rosiecerosiomakeup/)

## Stylo Ombré Et Contour 



#### £34 | Chanel 



 

“One of the eyeshadows I reach for the most is Chanel’s Stylo Ombré et Contour. I tend to use either ‘Contour Clair’ or ‘Electric Brown’, depending on my client’s skin tone. These are fantastic, sculpting shades that can be worn alone as a wash of colour or buffed out with a fine brush to create smudgy liner. The formula is silky and long-lasting.” *–*[ *Helen Warwick-Drake*](https://www.instagram.com/makeupbyhelenrose_/)

## Eye Tint 



#### £31 | Armani Beauty 



 

“Armani Beauty’s Eye Tint in ‘Camel’ is one of my kit staples. Smudge-proof and built to last, it can be smoothed on simply with the applicator or you can work it into the lid using your fingers or a fluffy brush. I find this warm brown shade works on all skin tones by itself for an understated look. It blends seamlessly, and a little goes a long way.” *–*[ *Lan Nguyen*](https://www.instagram.com/lanslondon/)

*Available at* [ARMANIBEAUTY.CO.UK](https://www.armanibeauty.co.uk/makeup/eyes/eyeshadow/eye-tint-liquid-eyeshadow/AP11005.html?dwvar_AP11005_color=20M-Camel)

## Eye Wand 



#### £25 | Vieve 



 

“Vieve’s Eye Wand has not only earned a place in my professional kit, but I’m also rarely without one in my personal make-up bag. The creamy stick formula is easy to blend, and can be used to either prime the lids or add a flattering veil of colour. I reach for one of the darker shades, usually ‘Coffee’ or ‘Mahogany’, to create an instant smokey eye that will last well into the night.” *–*[ *Keeley Wilson*](https://www.instagram.com/keeleywilsonmakeup/)

## Pro Longwear Paint Pot 



#### £16.50 (Was £22) | M·A·C 



 

“I can’t be without M·A·C’s Paint Pot in ‘Groundwork’ in my kit. Its rich, creamy texture blends like a dream and the soft taupe shade adds natural-looking depth to every eye colour without being overpowering. It’s quick to apply and the long-wearing formula means it stays looking fresh all day.” –[ *Nikki Wolff*](https://www.instagram.com/nikki_makeup/)

## Le Shadow Stick 



#### £9.99 | L’Oréal Paris 



 

“I swear by a one-and-done eyeshadow – it’s my go-to when I’m in a pinch or after a look that feels undone and effortless. I’m loving the new L’Oréal Paris Le Shadow Stick, particularly the shade ‘Magnetic Bronze’ for an easy, warm smokey eye. It’s highly pigmented and instinctive to apply, requiring next to no technical skill. Bonus points for an affordable price point.” *–*[ *Ellise Ferguson*](https://www.instagram.com/elliseferguson/)
