I've been a daily cat-eyed liquid-liner-wearer for almost a decade, and throughout that time, I've tried nearly every liner I can get my hands on, all in search of the blackest, most precise variety. While I always thought the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner [1] (£17) was a good option, it never gave me the ultrasharp tip that I desired.

Fast-forward to 2018, and a new range of Kat Von D eyeliners came across my desk . . . and one completely exceeded my expectations. Like the original version, the Kat Von D Dagger Tattoo Liner [2] (£17) is inky and lasts all day on my oily eyelids, with one major difference: the brush applicator. In this upgraded classic, the geniuses behind the brand listened to their customers who wanted a formula that was easier to apply, and thus delivered an angled tip.

Personally, this flatter, slanted brush makes applying my wing so much easier. I think it's an absolute must for anyone who has felt that the original was almost perfect, but not quite there. Once you try it, you'll be hooked.
