With my beauty look, I work hard on my cat eye, so there's nothing that upsets me more than seeing my hard work go to waste just hours later when the liner inevitable fades, smudges, or straight up disappears. I've tried at least a hundred eyeliners in my quest for a wing that lasts, and few of them boast a 48-hour claim. But the newest one on the market is confident it'll make it through a full two days. So, I decided I had to do my own Huda Beauty Life Liner review and see if it holds up. And what better way to put it to the test than to wear it for two days straight as I make my way to the gym, through long days of work, while running errands, and, of course, sleeping. Here's how it held up. Tuesday, 1:08 p.m.

Tip: You can also remove with a waterproof or strong performing oil-based eye makeup remover. Soaking a cotton pad in makeup remover, apply on the eyes massaging gently to break up the formula Ingredients Sign up for the Life Liner waitlist here. Remove Life Liner with Our New Huda Beauty Makeup Remover Balm Step 2: Starting from the outer corner of your eye, begin to create your wing by drawing up and out towards the end of your brow to lift your eyes. Then work inwards towards the center of your lid. Lining your inner corner is super trendy right now, but we’ve been doing it for as long as we can remember – it’s the classic Middle Eastern way to wear eyeliner. To make sure every liner lover found their new holy grail liner, we created a dual-ended liner: At one end a liquid liner and at the other, a soft pencil. This means you can do absolutely everything with it, from a perfect wing or graphic liner look to tightlining your eyes and smudging out your look. The Inspiration Behind Life Liner:Tightline: My fave thing to do is to tightline the upper lash line (underneath your lashes), which adds intensity to your look and helps make your lashes look fuller. My top tip is to stay in the center and don’t go too close to the tear duct or outer corner, otherwise, it could smudge. Step 1: From the outer corner of your eye draw the diagonal line outwards (use the natural curve of your bottom lash line as a guide to draw upwards for a lifted effect). Positioning yourself correctly before you start your liner can completely determine the end result. First, grab a handheld mirror (even a magnifying mirror!): this will allow you to get up close and personal with your eye so you can see what you’re doing. Hold it slightly below the eye so that when you’re doing your liner, your lashes are down – it makes the process easier. Then, to steady yourself, place your elbow (of the hand you’re using to apply the liner) on a table or surface. If your hand is shaky, tense your toes to steady yourself – we know it sounds crazy, but it actually works! Eyeliner Tip #3: Use a Pencil to Create the Shape

Step 3: Complete the line by starting from the inner corner of your eye and drawing the liner in toward the center of the lid. We worked with the best balm makers to create a balm I’m so obsessed with (it smells ahhhhmazing!); it removes everything from your Life Liner and a full cake face to daily oil and grime. Enriched with Cherry Blossom extract, the balm gently removes makeup and leaves your skin feeling soft and conditioned, so even when you’re not using Life Liner, this is a great first step in your cleansing routine. While it may seem strange to start with your wing, by beginning at the outermost corner, it’s a lot easier to get the angle right so that it lifts and snatches your eye instead of bringing it downwards. Chanel Temple, global makeup artist for Hourglass Cosmetics, agrees, “I always start with the wing by marking the outermost corner of your eye and drawing a thin line, angled slightly upward.” Eyeliner Tip #5: Outline The Shape Of The Wing If you’re a beginner, start by tracing the shape of your wing using a pencil, as this is a lot easier to remove than liquid liner. Once you’ve worked out the shape, apply the liquid liner on top and neaten with a Q-tip wherever necessary.As well as using our Huda Beauty Makeup Remover Balm, you can also use other powerful makeup removers to remove Life Liner: Now you can create any look imaginable on every eye shape, from a thin line to a bold, dramatic stroke. Add drama: For extra drama, apply it along your lower lash line on the outer corner and smudge it out to soften the look.

To use the Huda Beauty Makeup Remover Balm, apply a dime-sized amount to eyelids and gently massage the formula to dissolve makeup. Add water, and the balm texture transforms into a milky texture that washes away easily. Okay, now we’ve arrived at the last resort! If you’ve tried all of these tips, and applying eyeliner just isn’t your jam, you could opt for a more permanent solution: tattoo eyeliner. Permanent eyeliner isn’t going to wash off with the rest of your makeup at night, so you don’t need to worry about reapplying every morning. It’s completely customizable, so you can opt for something really natural or more intense. Find out more deets about tattoo liner here. I often use a pencil liner to create intensity with my look and to tightline my eyes, so adding a pencil formula was essential. The creamy formula is made with a blend of silicone resins and other unique ingredients to help it glide on effortlessly and last for eight hours of smudge-proof color. The formula also has a little playtime so you can smudge and smoke it out to your desired finish. We fitted the pencil liner with a twist-up system so you’ll never have to worry about sharpening your liner. Complete the line starting from the inner corner of your eye, connecting the two lines at the center of the lid filling in any negative space You can shop Life Liner at Sephora, Sephora in JC Penny, Cult Beauty, Harrods, Selfridges, Feel Unique, Net-A-Porter, Brown Thomas, Arnotts, Nykaa, The Beauty Editor, Boutiqatt, and Naime’s Beauty Center.One of the most important rules when it comes to applying winged eyeliner is getting the angle of the wing right. However, this is different for everyone, as we all have our own unique eye shapes. For example, to accentuate round eyes, you can create the illusion of added width by adding a bold wing to the outer corners. If you have a hooded lid, then the type of wing you create will be very different to someone who has deep-set eyes. Play around with different angles, wing shapes and sizes, and wing placements to find the shape that you feel sexiest in. Option 3: Massage coconut oil onto your lids for a minute, then once the Life Liner has dissolved, rinse with water and cleanse as usual. Huda Beauty is an entirely cruelty free brand; the company, manufacturers and suppliers do not test on animals. Start from the outer corner of your eye begin to create your wing, working inwards towards the center of your lid

Step 1: Open the liquid side of the liner and wipe off any excess formula from the brush on a tissue or your hand. Get creative: You can also use the liner as a base for an intense smokey eye or for creating graphic liner looks. Option 1: Gently massage an oil-based cleanser or waterproof, oil-based makeup remover onto eyelids to dissolve Life Liner. Then rinse with warm water and wipe away any excess formula with a cotton pad soaked in makeup remover. After the launch of our OG liner - Life Liner Duo Pencil & Liquid Eyeliner - Huda wanted to create an alternative that was universally easy-to-use and loved by everyone, from beginners and graphic liner pros to the eyeliner obsessed! Among the long list of essential makeup skills, learning how to do your eyeliner is definitely up there! A killer wing is a complete game-changer: it instantly lifts your eye and makes them look SO much bigger. But done incorrectly, it can make your eyes look tired – thank you, next!

The liner needed to give precise application and deliver intense color, so we decided on a brush, as felt tips just don’t give the most intense pigment payoff. I was SO particular about how the brush should be as the applicator is just as important as the formula for getting snatched liner. Our Life Liner was created to last through everything life has to throw at you, so unlike most of your makeup, this won’t budge with a little soap and water. But we know you’ll want to remove your Life Liner at some point, so we created the ultimate makeup remover to make sure you can take it off easily. With that said, eyeliner can also skip if the skin is not prepped properly. Celebrity MUA Gina Brooke says, “It helps to hold the outer eye taut and apply the liner from inner corner straight to outer corner. By holding the skin taut, it makes the drag on the liner super easy.” Keeping your mirror low and looking down helps as well. Eyeliner Tip #8: Smoke ‘n’ Smudge It was really important that this should be a liner tool that could do it all, so we created two formulas and combined them so you’ll always have everything you need.
