Must-have eyeliner

Maybelline HyperSharp Liner, at $19.90 from Watsons and Guardian outlets, selected depart- ment stores and major hypermarts and supermarkets.

IN THE world of eyeliner, perhaps no one does it better than Maybelline.

The brand's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner is a favourite with beauty junkies everywhere. Now, the brand has put out a fabulous new liner from the same Eye Studio range - its HyperSharp Liner.

The beauty in this liner lies in its calligraphy-inspired brush, which tapers to 0.05mm at the very tip. So, expect ultra- exact, ultra-thin lines to be created with ease. Talk about total control.

With this little tool, you're able to experiment with what's known as "eyeliner art".

Drawing its inspiration from calligraphy, henna, mehndi and various forms of body art, eyeliner art means adding curls, swirls and even floral flourishes to the corners of your eyes.

Maybelline's team of make-up artists will be at Cineleisure today (5pm to 8pm), tomorrow (4pm to 8pm) and on Sunday (12pm to 4pm), so head there if you want to learn more about eyeliner art.
