Byredo Technical Black Eyeliner, £32
Why We Love It: Part of Byredo’s much-raved-about make-up line, this jet-black liner glides on effortlessly, with the kind of deep pigment and smooth consistency that never tugs or pulls. Promising 12-hour wear, it sets fast and stays put – ideal when you’re battling the elements at this time of year. For those less confident about creating the perfect wing, this brush offers extra flexibility, allowing you to sculpt and shape with ease. Bonus – the packaging is pretty fun.

KVD Beauty Liquid Tattoo Liner, £19
Why We Love It: There’s a reason this one has ‘tattoo’ in the name. Not only is the colour bold and rich, the staying power is second to none. With an opaque finish, the dry down looks expensive, while the buildable formula allows you to create a multitude of looks – from bolder lines to something subtle and precise. Trace out a rough draft of your wing with a crayon before applying this on top, starting in light layers and adding more as you go. Opt for the brown shade if you prefer a lighter look or if you want to create some subtle faux freckles – the options really are endless.

Why We Love It: Mario Dedivanovic is one of the most famous make-up artists in the world, so you can rest assured his beauty range is one to trust. This liquid eyeliner has an ultra-sharp, flexible felt-tip nib, giving you maximum control over each stroke. Better still, it’s been designed to offer a ‘15-minute editing period’, so you have a window of time for touch-ups and edits before it sets. Once set, it’s completely waterproof, so you’ll find it lasts all day without the need for touch-ups. A must-try for those who like their feline flicks to be as neat and precise as possible.
