This week, Femail tests a range of eye make-up
Bourjois Queen Attitude mascara, 9ml, £9.49, from all good chemists
They say: Inspired by Cleopatra, its lash-directing bristles are angled in such a way so as to stretch lashes towards the outer corners. Enriched with beeswax, it's a creamy and easy-to-use formula.
We say: The thin brush can be difficult to use in the morning with bleary eyes but the shape does lengthen lashes a treat. Although I had flakes under my eyes after a long day, overall it did a good job of livening up my peepers.

They say: Inspired by Indian beauty secrets, these powder eye shadows, formulated from pomegranate and calendula powder are easy to apply with the fingertips or brush.
We say: This is a fantastic daytime shadow. It is quite tricky to apply straight from the pot, instead of the usual cake form but it is great when you get the hang of it. It is a lovely, light coverage with just the right amount of sparkle for daytime wear.
MeMeMe Shimmer Stack in pink zest, 12g, £9.99, www.me meme cosmetics. co.uk
They say: Reveal the goddess in you with this ultimate fusion of shimmer powders to illuminate and define cheeks, brows and eyes.
We say: The powder is light and soft. It does not radically change the colour of your face but adds a little extra glow. It is easy to put on and each individual colour can also be used for eye shadow so it is quite versatile.
BM Beauty mineral eye shadow, Aquatic Galaxy, 2g, £7, www. bmbeaty. com
They say: Beautifully vivid aqua blue which can be used as a colour wash over the lid or as a dramatic liquid eyeliner.
We say: I was left disappointed after trying out this eyeshadow. The powder went on unevenly and did not stay put very well. Within moments of applying it to my eyelids, blue specks were dotted over my cheeks. I will not be using it again.
