The next big thing... Blue Eye Liner

A couple of weeks ago the gorgeous Essie Button blogged this blog post about a new navy blue eye liner she was trying.

If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen me posting this photo.


After seeing Essies post, while perusing the magazines in WHSmiths at work, I noticed that Glamour magazine were giving away an Eyeko eyeliner in no less than Navy, and not only that but the magazine was online £1! I ran to the till (ok not really) and couldn't wait to try it out! As you can see the result is above!


 I have heard fantastic things about Eyeko eyeliners in the past and having never tried one before I was egar to see how it measured up against the others I had tried, in particular the Soap and Glory Supercat liner.

I really love the nib on this liner. As you can see it is very thin which I love as it means you can make the line as thin or as thick as you want. It is also easy to hold which I know sounds weird but I sometimes find that these pencil liquid liners can be hard to hold depending on the thickness of the actually pen.

I can't actually find this online. It looks like the Eyeko Skinny in Black is £15 so I don't know if they haven't got it online yet or if this is a Glamour magazine exclusive. Either way it may be worth nipping to your nearest Glamour stockist and picking up a copy before they run out. I am half tempted for £1 to go and get another one to keep for when this one runs out.

Not only has Essie jumped on the Blue Liner band wagon, the lovely Anna at Vivianna does Make up has done a post here so it seems like maybe the blue liner could be a new thing???

What do you think? Something you fancy trying or are you happy with black liner??
