Review: Rimmel ScandalEyes Precision Micro Eyeliner




I'm one of those people who loves the look of liquid eyeliner but can never quite get it to look the way I want on my actual face. I've tried, trust me, but I either over do or under do the look, and then over do it by trying to compensate. I've also never truly found the perfect formula. Due to that I began just using an angled brush and a Kohl liner or some black powder.

That all changed when I spotted a three for two offer and decided to pick this little guy up. What drew me to this product was the promise of small precision, something I definitely need help on.

I really love how small the nib of this pen is, it is super easy to use, it fits in the lash line properly and doesn't go too thick no matter what angle I use. For me it is as easy to use of my angled brush, something that's never occurred before.

My only criticism of this product is that it isn't very pigmented. I really wanted a black liquid liner, but it appeared dried out from the start. Maybe I picked a dud but it is something that left me a little disappointed.



Overall I really do like this product, and the lack of pigmentation means it gives a natural look, but sadly it does mean my look for a dramatic winged eye carries on.

Have you tried this? What do you think?

  1. It's a great concept for the design but isn't black enough for me! I much rather use a super black liner for a thin close line than a more natural shade of black! Thanks for sharing!

  2. I can tell by the swatch that it isn't very pigmented which is a bit of a bother. I adore their original scandaleyes eye pencil and have been using it everyday :)

    Thanks for sharing, have a lovely day ^^

  3. I'd hope for something a little darker, too! The fine nib sounds great, though - I really struggle with eyeliner as well :(

  4. That's such a shame that its not that pigmented, I love my eyeliner to be ultra black. but it does look pretty on your eyes though xx
