Catrice TREND ALERT – Statement Eyeliner

A sleek black line is the key to every sophisticated beauty look and SS17 saw the statement eyeliner trend take centre stage on couture catwalks. Fashion houses such as Fendi, Chloé and Kenzo are among those to have embraced various liner trends and in keeping with the latest fashion trends, Catrice has a great range of new additions to help you get the look.

A lined eye is timeless and can complete any look. Whether it’s a smart defined look you are after, a smokey smudged line or something a little more daring, Catrice Cosmetics has got you covered!

Here are a few of our must-have products, available from Penneys stores and pharmacies nationwide now!

Catrice Eye‘Matic Dip Liner Waterproof 010, €3.70


For a lasting liquid line the Eye’Matic Dip Liner is the ultimate must-have with its short drying time and durability. This liner is the go-to for on the go application with the slim, accurate tip of the brush allowing simple and clean application. The deep black texture means the line won’t fade throughout the day or night so there is no need to re-apply.

A ‘top tip’ from Catrice – Those who find creating accurate eyeliner styles difficult may find it easier to apply individual dots along the lashline and then connect them starting from the inner corner of the eye and moving outwards. Small mishaps can easily be removed using a tapered cotton bud.
Catrice Glam & Doll Super Black Liner 010, €3.50


Take inspiration from Fendi’s SS17 show where Gigi Hadid rocked the runway with a feline flicked liner! Catrice have taken the stress out of achieving the perfect ‘feline flick ‘with the Glam & Doll Super Black Liner.

Created for beginners, the flexible felt-tip in a tulip shape allows an easy application of slim or broad eyeliner styles. The liquid is highly pigmented which means an intense look can be easily achieved. 

Catrice Liquid Gel Cushion Eye Liner 010, €4.95


This Catrice innovation revolutionises the application of eyeliner! The cushion inside the tub is soaked with the highly pigmented, feathery light liquid texture. It is best to apply the long lasting formula with a flat, slanted or tapered eyeliner brush. Simply press the brush into the cushion soaked with the liquid and it will absorb just the right amount of the product. To achieve a more daring smudged ‘smokey look’ as seen in both Chloé’s and Kenzo’s SS17 shows, take a blending brush and smoke the line outwards.

Get The Look, Cover Shoot for Confetti Wedding Magazine

This shoot cover was a challenge as the studio and make up room were so hot. One model had a slight reaction to make up and one model was over heating but I think you’ll agree it all worked out in the end and the result is a gorgeous Magazine cover.

I used everything from Blank Canvas Cosmetics including:

  • Pippa Palette
  • Master Series One Palette
  • Contour cream palette 
  • Powder contour palette
  • Brushes

Lashes were from my favourite BABYDOLL Cosmetics 

Nails were manicured and gelish applied by the talented and funny Michele Burke

The Foundation I used was Make Up For Ever HD


Hair was styled to perfection by the hair maestro Glen Cullen assisted by the selfie king Cian Kavanagh.

Grandiose Liner & Grandiose Extréme Mascara

A couple of days ago I was invited to Lancôme head office in Dublin,Ireland where I was treated to a sneak preview of the amazing Grandiose Liner & Grandiose Extréme Mascara. The gorgeous Lancôme make up artist Laura Pye demonstrated the liners and mascara on the beautiful Michele McGrath.


My first impression of the Grandiose Liner was an instant desire to click,click the liner applicator which enables the user to slant the brush with a single click. No more polling yourself in the eye when trying to create a beautifully lined eye, Lancôme has come up with the genius idea and it didn’t disappoint. 

The liner consistency is fluid, so no dragging upon application and it dries quickly so no transfer to your eyelids when you open your eyes to take a look. It dries matte and the colour payoff is excellent. 

This would be super for anyone not confident with liner as the applicator is designed with revolutionary design making it so user friendly. It is available from Brown Thomas Today and is available in Three colours, Carbon Black, Deep Brown & Sapphire Blue.

The Grandiose Extréme Mascara has the most amazing Matte Black packaging and inserted black rose in the silicon handle, so pretty. 

The swan like neck of the mascara wand and tightly knit bristles of the brush make application so much easier and quicker too as one sweep covers every lash perfectly. 

The mascara is a firm favourite in the beauty world and I can see why now that I have tried it out.And I love how the mascara doesn’t flake or drop throughout the day. 

The Grandiose Extréme Mascara is available from Brown Thomas today too.

And then available nationwide from July 1st.
