If I were ever stuck on an island, I’d make sure I had my eyeliner and lippy. Beauty should be more about how it makes you feel than how it appears to others.

My two absolute go-to makeup items. Even in my handbag, the bare minimum I travel with is my eyeliner.

I’ve always loved a cat-eye, it wakes up my small almond eyes instantly. Even on crappy days, eyeliner has my back. Growing up, I was known for my eyeliner! I honestly don’t even know how I do a wing. If someone asked me to do it on them, I’d probably mess it up. On me, it’s just second nature.

Over the years I’ve tried so many eyeliners, but my favourite so far has to be the Victoria Beckham Beauty liner. I was skeptical at first, especially because I was introduced to it by someone who buys way too much makeup!

I ordered online, as I don’t live in London anymore, so I couldn’t pop into the store. When it arrived, the whole experience felt so luxurious: a beautiful box, a gorgeous makeup bag and even a sharpener. They really thought through the customer experience (my marketing brain was impressed!).

I ordered three, Cocoa, Fig and Navy Noir. I have oily lids, so I always prep before applying. I’d been watching Victoria on her socials applying the shades so I could get a feel for what would suit me best.

I tried Fig first and wow, it really compliments brown eyes. The colours are rich and creamy, gliding on effortlessly, and it’s both long-wearing and waterproof. I was genuinely happy with the result (and even received compliments). It felt luxurious from the moment I applied it.

And the best part? I managed to catch the sale, 25% off and free shipping over £50. I’ll definitely be repurchasing these pencils. If you love a clean wing or a soft smudge, this liner might just become your new everyday essential too. I’ve definitely found a favourite here and I can’t wait to see what other gems VB Beauty has waiting.
