The Traitors is back for 2026 and it’s time once again to envy Claudia Winkleman’s sartorial choices and excessively charming make-up routine.
Claudia’s favourite eyeliner has some fans declaring that “no eyeliner exists come close”. The 53-year-old television personality, known for her distinctive dark hair and signature black eyeliner, has been a staple on our screens for many years.
For those wishing to emulate her smoky eyeliner style, the secret is out: she uses Victoria Beckham’s Satin Kajal Liner. This liner can be purchased for £32 from the former Spice Girl’s makeup website. If you’re a new customer you can sign up for 15% off this price, the same apples, too, if you’re buying from Space NK, here.
Available in matte shades, shimmering hues or jewel tones, including denim blue, olive, and khaki green with golden sparkle, as well as matte black, this Victoria Beckham liner offers a variety of options for makeup aficionados. The product is promoted as a long-lasting waterproof eyeliner.
It’s described as a “creamy, smudge-free” and waterproof kajal eyeliner with “vivid, high-performance colours” that “simply demand attention”.
The product has impressively achieved a rating of 4.4 stars out of five, backed by more than 30,000 reviews. One five-star reviewer enthused: “There is no eyeliner to exist that comes close to matching the excellence that is this formula. A MUST BUY! !”.
Another satisfied customer, also awarding five stars, commented: “I have used makeup since I was 15 and I’m now a mature 58 year old. I’ve used both budget and luxury cosmetics so here goes for VBB.
“I tried this as I had a discount code and opted for the cocoa matt brown. It is a beautiful liner- initially i thought it was just like the rest, ‘smudging’ onto my upper eye but spare the time to apply it correctly and it’s fabulous and it does last. It glides on smoothly without dragging the lid, blend it with the other end and wait a minute for it to set. I love it. Additionally, it arrived in a lovely VB bag which is great to keep your lipstick in when out.”
However, not all customers were entirely satisfied, with some questioning its longevity. One reviewer noted: “I use it as an eyeliner ánd eyeshadow. I like that it’s buildable, it doesn’t sag down and I love the colours, but 4 start because for me it just doesn’t stay on long enough.”
Another purchaser, who shared similar concerns yet still awarded five stars, remarked: “Beautiful colour and glides on so smoothly! Doesn’t stay on perfectly for a whole day, but honestly way better than most other gel pencils. The colour alone is reason to buy this.”
For a budget way to recreate the dark eyeliner look Rimmel’s Scandal ‘Eyes Kohl liner is £4.99.
