Eyes

Eye makeup gets judged on colour and should be judged on comfort. Anything that flakes, migrates or stings by mid-afternoon is the wrong formula, whatever the shade looks like in the pan. Everything here is mineral and talc-free, which matters more around the eye than anywhere else on the face.

Eyes

Eye Shadow and Shadow Quad cover the powders, and Cream Stay Shadow Stick is the one that does not crease on oilier lids. For liner, Precision Eye Pencil is the softest, Precise Micro Eyeliner gives a fine line, and Liquid Ink and Precision Liquid Eyeliner are the sharper, longer-wearing options. Lash Lengthening, Volumising and Water Resistant Mascara each do what the name says. Shadow Primer and Essential Eye Base go underneath and are the difference between colour that lasts and colour that slides.

Where to start

A shadow primer, before another shadow. It does more for how long your eye makeup lasts than any change of colour will.

Glo Skin Beauty eye makeup, curated by the clinicians at The London Road Clinic in Newark, Nottinghamshire, covers shadow, liner, mascara and the primers that hold them, in mineral formulas chosen for comfort on skin that is often sensitive around the eye.

Good to know

Frequently asked

Why does my eyeshadow crease?

Oil on the lid, almost always. A shadow primer or eye base gives the colour something to hold onto and is the single biggest fix. A cream shadow stick is the other option, because it sets and stays put.

Is mineral eye makeup better for sensitive eyes?

Many people find talc-free mineral formulas more comfortable, particularly contact lens wearers. If your eyes react to something specific, check the ingredient list on the product page rather than assuming, and speak to your practitioner if it persists.

How do I remove eye makeup without dragging the skin?

Hold a damp cloth or remover-soaked pad against the lashes for a few seconds first, then wipe downwards and outwards. The skin around the eye is the thinnest on the face and does not want to be scrubbed.
