Cat Lady
ARDENCY INN: PUNKER –WORLD’S BADDEST EYELINER
This oversized felt tip applicator glides with ease. No matter what line you might be wishing to create, this tip is worthy of doing so. Soft sophistication or bold-eyed beauty, the choice is yours. Sephora ($22)
Brightening Your Bottom
NARS: LARGER THAN LIFE LONG WEAR EYELINER – RUE BONAPARTE
If ever there’s a morning when coffee just isn’t brightening up your morning eyes, apply this pencil along your waterline. This beige beauty helps to contrast from the red in your tired eyes. Holt Renfrew ($28 )
Refreshing – Everyday top lash line
WATERPROOF EYE PENCIL –CLARINS
For those wanting quick and easy, use this pencil on your lashline. Lightly pull the lid taught and etch along gently. If your line isn’t as straight or smooth as you’d like, make use of a lining brush to direct the colour correctly. Black can be bold, while brown is great if the office days call for a more subdued look. Pair this line with or without eyeshadow but always follow with mascara. Hudson’s Bay ($26)
Precise perfection
LONG WEAR GEL EYELINER –BOBBI BROWN
For the artist in all of us, use Bobbi Brown’s gel liner with a brush. Softly twist the brush in the pod and paint on the lid in the desired thickness and length. Holt Renfrew ($27)
Nighttime drama
MAC KOHL – This isn’t for the light-handed. Apply this liner on both bottom and top eyeline. Smudge out the liner with a brush to bring a beautiful blended effect or smokey eye. MAC ($19)
