Eleganza Extravaganza Liquid Eyeshadow Trio (£10) insanely lustrous liquid eyeshadows for a high-wattage, sparkling finish; Shantay You Stay Eye Palette (£14) basic should not be in your vocab!

New launches from Victoria Beckham Beauty have landed. Satin Kajal Jewel Liner (£22) are long wear precision glimmer eyeliners which deliver high-octane glimmer with the precision and performance of a pencil. Turn up the glamour and put the spotlight on your eyes. Highly pigmented and shimmering, the long-wearing, water-proof, fade-proof formula glides on easily, and once blended, unlocks added dimension for a high- shine pearlescent finish.
Derived from mineral based silica (not plastics) the ocean-friendly pearl does not bioaccumulate, meaning it is safe for the environment as well as your eyes. They are dual-ended to include a smudger for easy application and come with an optional sharpener, engineered to maintain the integrity of your liner and create a precise point. Available in three shades: Night Flash – high contrast drama with silver glimmer and rich black colour; Gold Lamé – pure shine from a true gold pearl—no pigment added; and Sequin Green – a golden green that adds an extra spark to every eye colour. Available now from victoriabeckhambeauty.
