Debenhams Masterpiece Waterproof Matte Liquid Eyeliner In Charcoal

Forget about lining up your eyes with masking tape while you try to get both sides even - this liquid eyeliner pen does the work for you in one decisive stroke. Instead of building up layers until you end up with a raccoon look, the charcoal formula is so pigmented it pays off immediately and looks deep black on every eye shape. The quick-drying liquid means no tugging or smudging while you paint them, which makes it forgiving enough for anyone who has only ever mastered winged liner in their own head at 2 am.

The matte finish comes from a blend of film formers and light-diffusing particles rather than just piling on colour - that is what keeps it looking smooth even after hours of wear. And while 'transfer-proof' sounds technical, the real benefit is that your eyeliner doesn't migrate onto your cheek or smudge under hooded eyes throughout the day. It resists sweat and humidity too, so if you are heading to a summer wedding with hot weather or wearing it through a long shift at work in Sydney on a humid afternoon, it actually stays where you put it without flaking away by lunchtime.

It is also vegan which keeps things simple for your routine and the tip applicator is precise enough that you can create everything from sharp winged lines to softer smudged looks with one product. With four shades in the range this charcoal shade is a versatile staple - good for everyday wear or built up for festival season when you need reliability under heavy makeup. No fuss, no mess, just solid colour that holds its shape from morning coffee until your last cocktail of the night.
