Huda have launched their first eyeliner – the Huda Beauty Life Liner (£22).  Double-ended with one side liquid liner and the other a pencil, it offers long-lasting, waterproof and smudge-proof wear in an intensely black, matte hue.  The liquid liner glides on to deliver a precise line for thin to bold statement strokes.  The pencil end is creamy and easy to apply, allowing you time between application and drying to smudge, play or leave to get the perfect eye for your client.  Created with an elastic-like texture this should last for 48 hours and dries to the most intense black shade, without a grey cast.  This colour is named Very Vanta after one of the darkest substances known, which absorbs up to 99.6% of visible light.

To remove the Life Liner Huda have also created Makeup Remover Balm (£11).  This will remove everything from Life Liner and full cake face to daily oil and grime.  Enriched with cherry blossom extract the balm gently removes makeup to leave the skin feeling soft and conditioned.
