After declaring my love for Rimmel London Scandaleyes Kohl eyeliner, I felt the need to try out their liquid eyeliner, and man how disappointed was I! I used this on a night out recently, and found I had to reapply the liquid around three times before I even left the house! (I really wish I was joking). I only decided to try a liquid eyeliner to give a smoother coverage when wearing fake eyelashes, but in the end, it became so faded that I gave up and went back to my trusty kohl.
I know it's not the best picture, but on the left is the kohl eyeliner, and on the right is the liquid eyeliner. Hopefully you can see how the eyeliner is already fading, after only applying it a few minutes earlier. It also takes a while to dry- hence the faint lines above my right eye from where it has already smudged. I also don't get the straight line i can achieve with my kohl eyeliner, which i am really surprised at, as the liquid nib is so fine and precise.
I did a few swatches on my hand (kohl on top, liquid underneath), and waited a few minuted before smudging. I've always been able to smudge the kohl eyeliner, to help give me a more defined smokey eye look, whilst at the same time, keeping the colour in its original place. However, I just couldn't get the same look, or anything similar from the liquid pen. The pen goes on back, and after around a minute or so of drying, completely loses its blackest colour, and starts to turn grey. I have used this eyeliner around three times now, and each time it has proved to be a waste of money, in my opinion. Luckily I brought it on Boots' 3 for 2 offer, so I technically got it for free, otherwise i would be so mad.
Has anybody else had this problem with liquid eyeliners? I'm hoping it's just this eyeliner that does this. Please recommend a good liquid eyeliner :)
