My default eyeliner is Rimmel Glam'Eyes liquid liner, which I appreciate in particular for its very thin brush, which allows a fine and precise line even with the dark liquid black I prefer. My only qualm is that it isn't waterproof, and therefore needs to be touched up throughout the day.
On my last shopping trip, I noticed a new Rimmel product: ScandalEyes Precision Micro Eyeliner. The packaging touted its fine tip and waterproof formula, so I thought this was just what I need!
Unfortunately, it doesn't do the job at all.
When I attempted to line my eyes using the tip of the pen, only a sporadic, sheer grey line came out. In frustration I scribbed with it on the back of my hand like it was a dead sharpie, and a darker line came out if I pressed down hard and used the side of the pen. But that line wasn't narrow, and required pressing too hard to duplicate on my eyelids. And even then, it wasn't consistently as dark as the liquid liner.
So, in short, this alleged precision micro eyeliner is not capable of providing a "precision" or "micro" line when used on the eyes.
The only part of its name that is accurate is the "scandal" part: it's a scandal that Rimmel would make a new product that's so inferior in every way to their old product.
Dear Rimme: all you have to do is put a waterproof liquid liner in the same packaging with the same brush as the Glam'Eyes liquid.
