This £16 Silk Kajal Liner Has Replaced All My Expensive Ones—It’s Buttery Soft, Pigmented and Lasts All Night

I’ve always been an eyeliner girl. At the risk of bragging, I perfected my cat eye flick circa 15 and since then, have dabbled with everything from pencil and liquid liners to trickier gel formulations. Recently, though, I’ve been partial to pencil, but as you know, they have a reputation for being dry and difficult to glide. I have tried dozens of these, and have long been on the lookout for one that was buttery soft, works on both the lid and the waterline, blends like a dream, and, crucially, stays put.

That’s why I was rather sceptical when I was first introduced to the Irish brand Hildun Beauty, and their range of Silk to Set Kajal Liners, which have recently gone viral. Priced at just £16, they are a steal. I ended up trying them by chance, after chucking a few new products into my bag for a trip, and I was so pleasantly surprised—in fact, initially, I mistook it for one of my other, more pricey liners.
