Best brow product: Gucci Beauty Crayon Definition Sourcils – Powder Eyebrow Pencil, $39

1/4

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE - EDITORS’ CHOICE

Soft and pigmented, it goes on smoothly without dragging on skin. It’s easy to use, making it a cinch to outline and fill in brows, whether you like it natural- looking or dramatic. The long-wearing formula doesn’t smudge or transfer. In six shades.

Best brow product: Urban Decay Inked Brow, $42

2/4

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE - READERS’ CHOICE

The semi-permanent long- wear gel gets brows on fleek for up to 60 hours. It’s akin to a highly pigmented watercolour, but not as intense as an eyeliner. After a little practice, you’ll find it settles nicely, looks very natural and doesn’t budge. In four shades.

Best mascara: Gucci Beauty Mascara L’Obscur, $56

3/4

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE - EDITORS’ CHOICE

The buildable, ultra- creamy formula takes lashes from natural to bold, and lasts for up to 12 hours. It gives smooth, clump-free application, and the wand easily catches even smaller lashes. Easy to build and remove, it’s ideal for lengthening short lashes and keeps lashes beautifully curled all day. Flutter-worthy.

Best mascara: Urban Decay Lash Freak Mascara, $40

4/4

DEPARTMENT / SPECIALITY STORE - READERS’ CHOICE

An intensely volumising and lengthening mascara with up to 20 hours of wear, it’s the go-to for full, dramatic lashes. You can volumise, define and curl, all in one coat. The innovative wand does take a little getting used to, but it really delivers.
