Claudia Winkleman’s makeup stick is less than £10 for New Year’s Eve

Claudia Winkleman fans can recreate her striking look with the Vieve Eye Wand which is £25 from Sephora. But there is also a way to make it even cheaper – new members of TopCashback and customers of Sephora can buy one for just £9.56 after cashback.

And existing members of TopCashback and customers of Sephora can get their hands on one for £24.56 after cashback. The Vieve Eye Wand is available in a range of shades, with the outgoing Strictly Come Dancing presenter saying she particularly loves raven and espresso, which are two of the darkest colours.

In a video on beauty expert Nadine Baggott’s Instagram page, Claudia tells viewers: “I just put it all over my face.” The eye wand is an eyeshadow stick which glides onto the skin and can be built upon and blended, according to personal preference.

It can be used to create a simple eyeshadow look or a dramatic smoky eye, like Winkleman’s. The wand can be applied straight onto the eyelids and either blended with the fingers or an eyeshadow brush.

A similar look can be created with the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour, which is £28 from LookFantastic. The creamy eyeshadow stick has a smooth matte finish, and also comes in a variety of shades with an easy to blend application.

At a slightly lower price point, Boots has a L’Oreal Paris Paradise Le Shadow Stick Eyeshadow for £9.99. The richly pigmented eyeshadow stick glides onto the skin and is transfer-and smudge-resistant, the brand says, with 10 matte and shimmer shades to choose from.

The Vieve Eye Wand has plenty of fans who have left five-star reviews on the Sephora website. One said: “Such a beautiful eye colour. I just wish I had found them sooner. Long lasting colour, buildable and blends easily.”

Another wrote: “I have quite a few of the eye wands and they are just amazing! The colours can be worn alone or built up with others to create a more dramatic look. They are an absolute dream to blend too. Highly recommend!”

And one said: “So easy to work with!! Perfect for daytime and evening looks.” However, one person said that although they were happy with the makeup itself, they thought the plastic encasing ‘felt a bit flimsy’.

And another said they ‘marked it down one star as it dries very quickly so you have to work fast’.
