Amy Winehouse Eyeliner
The late, great, Amy Winehouse will be remembered at the MOBO Awards in Glasgow tonight, when her goddaughter Dionne Bromfield will perform one of the star’s songs as a tribute.
I loved Amy Winehouse, her music and her style, and who didn’t try her exaggerated eyeliner at one time?
Amy’s own take on the 1960s girl-group glamour revolutionised the wearing of eyeliner, and everyone was looking for the perfect liquid liner to recreate the winged look.
If you do a Google search for ‘Amy Winehouse Eyeliner‘ you’ll get approximately 900,000 results!
I have tried dozens over the years in my search for a liner that isn’t too shiny, doesn’t move and goes on easily. I finally found it at the Illamasqua counter.
Their Precision Ink is amazing. Once you try this, you will never go back to another! The waterproof formula means it dries in seconds, and won’t budge until you take it off. The fine tip makes the liner easy to use, and you can build the line to the thickness you want – depending on how ‘Amy’ you want to go!
The original Abyss shade is gloss black and a staple in my makeup bag, but I have recently been wearing the new gorgeous Havoc – a bold aubergine shade.
And here’s a wee tip for all you nail fans (like me) out there – use Precision Ink as a nail art pen and simply top coat over it once it’s dry!
Precision Ink is available in four colours; Abyss, Alchemy, Havoc and Glister, £17, illamasqua.com, debenhams.com
