Take inspiration from the models on the Prada and Dior runways by adding a vibrantly toned streak of colour close to your lash line. This eye-popping look is a favourite of ours for spring, and is so easy to achieve with this selection of bright, colourful eyeliners.
Napoleon Perdis Eye Pencils
You are sure to find a vibrant eyeliner you love within the kaleidoscope of colours available from Napoleon Perdis. The long, wood-clench pencil is easy to hold and makes it much easier to apply. If you have sensitive eyes, the formula is also free from mineral oil and preservatives.
Rescu. Loves: For the ultimate in glamour and sophistication, we are loving Gold Standard, a high-pigment gold liner that instantly makes your look expensive. Bottle Green is another favourite, a deep green colour that has a beautiful metallic sheen to it.
RRP $28. Available from all Napoleon Perdis concept stores.
NARS Larger Than Life Eyeliners
NARS Larger Than Life Eyeliners will give your peepers a dramatic intensity that takes your make up look to the next level. High in pigment for the ultimate hit of colour, the creamy texture glides on smoothly but still holds structure.
Rescu. Loves: We can’t walk past Bourbon Street, a vibrant festival purple inspired by Mardi Gras and Abbey Road, an iridescent turquoise that’s as psychedelic as the North London street.
RRP $45. Available 22nd August, exclusively to Mecca Cosmetica.
Max Factor Liquid Effect Pencil
These eyeliners have a great depth of colour, which defines the eye for a gorgeous dramatic effect. The smart smudging tip on the end of the pencil blends the liner for an instant day to night effect.
Rescu. Loves: For those brave enough for something really vibrant we choose Green Glow, a bright yellow, green shade. Another favourite of ours in Lilac Flame, a softer shade of purple that can be built up for a bigger hit of colour or blended into the lash line for a sultry effect.
RRP $18.95. Call 1800 181 040 for stocklists.
Australis Eye Pencil
These eyeliners still provide a gorgeous splash of colour to your lash line, but are a little more toned down for those of you who want to ease yourselves into this bright-eyed look. The liners are rich in pigment and the soft formula means you can opt for straight edge lines or a sexy, smudged effect.
Rescu. Loves: The glowing navy blue Hello Sailor pencil is a favourite of ours because it doesn’t stray far from our usual black but is different and daring. We are also loving the green gold shimmer of Olive, which makes brown and hazel eyes pop.
Available from Priceline, Target, Big W and pharmacies nationally.
Australis Make Up Artist Chantelle Baker gave Rescu. tips on what shades to choose for your eye colour and how to apply them.
