Courtney Cox has just given fans an insight into the one eyeliner she uses to create a 'tattoo-like' eyeliner for a 90s smokey eye - and it turns out it's from Victoria Beckham Beauty
Beauty icon Victoria Beckham has amassed plenty of praise for her best-selling eyeliner range at Victoria Beckham Beauty, as makeup shoppers and celebrities alike are obsessed with its pigment, blendability and staying power.
Shoppers have been raving about this eye make-up essential as it continues to receive high praise as a best-seller, but the adoration doesn't stop there, as plenty of celebrities have been voicing their love for this eyeliner. One known fan of the Satin Kajal Liner is Claudia Winkleman, who swears by Victoria Beckham's eyeliner to create her iconic eye look.
Courtney Cox has now joined the list of stars singing the praises of this liner. She shared on Instagram earlier this week that she uses it to create the 90s smokey eye she opts for repeatedly.
Claudia is mostly married to a classic black liner look, and Courtney Cox has just revealed she too opts for the same black eyeliner, and explained why. The Friends star told her Instagram followers that she had her eyelids tattooed to create a permanent eyeliner effect without the need for makeup to complete the look, or needing constant touchups throughout filming. That said, Courtney explained that she had done it so long ago that the tattoos were now faded, and she needed a good, pigmented black liner to cover the old marks.
The Victoria Beckham Beauty Satin Kajal Eyeliner comes in a total of 21 other shades , including navy, bronze, and burgundy, as well as more unusual hues like mint green. Shoppers can choose from matte, shimmer, and jewel finishes, and each liner costs £32, either directly from her website or at Selfridges.
The VB eyeliner is perfect for achieving Courtney's iconic smudgy effect that recreates the 90s smokey eye Courtney has rocked since Friends season one. It boasts a creamy texture that glides on in a single stroke with no dragging or pulling. You can use it to create a sharp, crisp line or blend and smudge it out to create a more lived-in look.
It's also packed with skin-loving ingredients which are suitable for all skin types, and it's completely smudge-proof and waterproof, so once you've got it how you want it, it'll stay put all day. The eyeliner has also been created to be vegan and completely cruelty-free.
The luxurious eyeliner promises "low maintenance glamour" with just one swipe across the eyelid, while also offering bendability and flexibility that means your new eyeliner can seamlessly blend into any eye look you want. And with grunge makeup making a comeback, these beauties are perfect for that messy, smudged style that won't budge for the rest of the day.
And it's not just Courtney who loves this award-winning eyeliner from Posh Spice's brand, as plenty of 5-star reviews rack up. One 5-star reviewer raves: "Absolutely in love with the Kajal liner. Glides on like velvet."
Another adds: "This eyeliner goes on smooth and smudges great. Once it sets, it stays in place all day. The colour is really pretty also."
And another satisfied shopper beams: "This is the best eyeliner I have ever used. It's easy to put on and lasts all day. The sharpener is a great tool too."
A fourth beauty fan writes: "Beautiful colour and probably the best liner I have ever bought. Stays without smudge all day."
Another reviewer added: 'I've been using this soft, long-lasting eyeliner for a while now, and I'm absolutely hooked! The formula is smooth and glides on effortlessly, making it super easy to create a variety of looks. It stays put all day without smudging or fading, even during those long days. The colour payoff is fantastic, and it's really easy to build up the intensity. And let's not forget about the packaging! It's sleek and stylish, making it a pleasure to use.'
However, one left a three-star rating, commenting: ' The eyeliner goes on like a dream but you have to be careful not to get it into your waterline otherwise it transfers under the eyes. I end up with blue/purple looking panda eyes after a few hours. To prevent this I have to apply very carefully and it blunts the pencil quickly. I never got this with my No7 kohl liner.'
If you're on a budget and don't want to splash out too much, you can grab the viral All Smudge No Budge eyeliner while it's available from Beauty Bay, or take a gander at Wonderskin's Longwear Eyeliner on Amazon.
