...is finally over!

It's easy to apply, doesn't need sharpening, waterproof, doesn't smudge, comes of easily with my simple face wipes and is reasonably priced at ÂŁ4.50ish.

Hurrah!

Oh oh can we see what the tip is like? Is it a pen/crayon type liner?

Looks like a Rimmel Scandaleyes

Can't read it properly. Is it the thick and thin one?

Ha, I chucked that one away after two uses. It transferred entirely to just under my eyebrows. Not the look I was going for.

Now using a Collection one, much better.

Funny how different things work/don't work for different people, eh?!

My eyeliner life has been transformed since I started using powdered kohl with a stick applicator. Could never use anything else now. Horses for courses.

Seventeen Tattoo me is my holy grail eyeliner.

It performs exactly like the Urban Decay 24/7 but is a fiver! I won't buy anything else ever, unless it's discontinued.

I'm glad you've found the one OP Smile

Yes it's Rimmel Scandaleyes.

And here's a picture of the pen-like tip.

That looks rather good. Might have to give it a go. With Rimmel you can't really lose anyway with the prices Smile

Oh I'm useless with eyeliner pen. Haven't tried it for years though so might be time to revisit.

My fave eyeliner is topshop Khol. It goes on evenly and smoothly and costs ÂŁ6.

Oooh I'll try that!

The Kat Von D tattoo liner isn't great, DH brought me one from America & it's not very intense black, is rather thin & comes off on your finger.

Talk about products being discontinued! My search was over when I discovered Avon's Extra Lasting Liquid liner - it was amazing & was still on in the morning (as was my Sephora lipstain - it was quite a shock Shock for DC/DH haha) now I can't buy it any more & the search begins again.

ive always used rimmel but not the pen one, I like the ultra fine brush. I tried more expensive brands i.e Chanel, LancĂ´me, Clinique, Estee Lauder but I didn't see what quality they gave me compared with the cheaper Rimmel. Rimmel is such good value too.

I do want to try Mac Gel liner though Gel has a different effect to liquid liners. I have tried a Pharmacy brand but didn't like it, plus the tub dried out really quickly and I couldn't apply it without it flaking.

I have used the Covergirl eyeliner in the past, til they discontinued it Hmm

Now use either L'oreal pen and the Clinque fine liner. All pens, hate the pencil ones, they just smudge.

I used either the collection pen, or the MUA extreme pen. Loved my black eyeliner.

Then sadly I got dermatitis on my eye lids, we think as a reaction to the black ink. Devastated.

Replaced all my make up and temporarily using a click up crayon type in dark brown instead. Isn't the same.

My holy grail eyeliner is W7 liquid, its about ÂŁ1 or the Primark one also ÂŁ1. Doesn't budge and doesn't smear all over on removing.
Maybelline does the best gel liner IMO.

I like the body shop liquid eyeliner

I had the scandaleyes one, dried out in about 30 seconds flat. I like the body shop one.

I have that Scandaleyes. It's good but I expect the felt tips to dry out quickly.

When I mean business, I use Benefit Push Up. But not every day because it is impossible to remove completely.
