Claudia Winkleman's iconic smudged-eye aesthetic is as much a part of her identity as her trademark fringe and dark wardrobe. The Traitors host has long championed a lived-in, rock-and-roll makeup look, famously stating her goal is for her eye makeup to appear as though she's 'slept in a skip'. Now, she's revealed the one affordable product that makes this signature style possible.
The Cult Kohl That 'Never Comes Off'
In a recent interview with Marie Claire, Winkleman pinpointed the exact eyeliner responsible for her enduring look, declaring it 'goes on and never comes off'. Given her consistent, decades-long commitment to heavy black kohl, beauty experts took note. Claudia isn't one for constant touch-ups or switching products; when she finds something that works, she sticks with it.
The product in question is the Lord & Berry Kajal Eyeliner, priced at £16. This pencil has garnered a dedicated following for its intense pigmentation, creamy texture that glides on without tugging, and its unique staying power. It allows a brief window for the perfect smudge before setting decisively in place for the day—or, in Winkleman's case, for a long filming schedule.
Beauty and Hair Secrets from The Traitors Set
As the fourth series of the hit BBC show The Traitors captivates audiences, fans are once again searching for Claudia's style and beauty staples. Alongside the quest for her eyeliner, many have wondered how she maintains such glossy, healthy-looking dark hair.
Her hairstylist, Amy Short, recently shared some of their go-to products with The Independent. '[My] go-to products for Claude's hair are Color Wow Dream Coat, Color Wow Pop & Lock and Davines Shimmer Spray,' Short revealed. For a limited time, savvy shoppers can snap up two of these shine-enhancing products at a discount on Amazon.
