Fearne Charcoal Eye Pencil (£5)

A greyish colour with plenty of shimmer, this Fearne Cotton pencil can be used for a fine line, can be easily smudged for a smoky effect and is reasonably priced.

Illamasqua Precision Ink in Glister (£17)

The brush has a fine point so can be used for perfect lines, but the ink consistency makes it difficult to create a smudge effect. The shade is pinky gold with lots of sparkle.

Bellapierre On The Go Eye Liner Trio (£29.99)

Both the brush and ink are a little thick, so it is a bit tricky to get a thin line with this product. Choice of three mini shades – a good option for alternatives.

2true Easyglide Kohl Pencil in Dark Brown (£1.99)

A traditional pencil that is fine enough for clean lines but can easily blur for misty effects. At £1.99 this Superdrug exclusive is great value.

Clinique Brush-On Cream Liner in True Black (£13.50)

This little pot of cream comes with a separate brush allowing for fine lines and smudging. Colour is intense and there is plenty of product.
