Dior Addict It-Line ($31): This liquid liner packs a lot of shine, making it perfect for a statement look. The electric blue shade looks best as a little flick at the outer corner of the eye.
Chanel Ecriture de Chanel ($35): This felt tip liner is perfect for cat eye beginners. It’s super easy to control and the formula is long lasting meaning you’ll still look great when the ball drops.
L’Oréal Infallible Lacquer Liner ($10): This super shiny gel liner comes in five shades, but we recommend wearing the bronze shade at your party.
