Rimmel Liquid Eyeliner and Rimmel Pencil Eyeliner
After buying eyeliners from Rimmel on a whim when they were on sale, they are now my favorites of all time. I am not a big fan of wearing black eyeliners all the time since black can be a little harsh especially during the day. Usually when you put black on a daily basis, and forget to put it on one day…it seems like as if your eyes are naked. Therefore, I am always looking for eyeliner colors that make my eyes twinkle and still give some definition to my eyes for a daily basis.
I have countless eyeliners but I have developed an eternal liking for the following two eyeliners.
First of all, I bought the Rimmel “Get In Line” liquid eyeliner in copper brown (600). I have always used brown eyeliners but mostly in pencil for a daytime look. It would sort of blend in and make my eyes pop all at the same time. I bought this liquid eyeliner because I had run out of my previous brown eyeliner pencils, but I was in for such a treat. It will cost around $1.99-$2.99.
Eyeliner Claims:
- Perfect definition; high color intensity
- Liner gives fine precision lines with one brush stroke
- Film forming ingredients bond the color pigment to the skin for long lasting wear
- Get In Line Liquid Eye Liner Precision felt tip applicator and long-lasting formula allows for sharp eye definition.
- Colors: Copper Brown, Black, Sapphire Blue, and Forest Green
What I think:
- It is very precise and it is very easy to do a cat eye even in copper brown
- The brush tip is hard so it is easy to apply steadily similar to the Lakme high definition eyeliner
- It has glints of shimmer in all the eyeliners, but there are specks of bronze/gold in the copper brown
- The copper brown is actually more like a dark bronze color which is all the rage right now
- Dries very quickly after you put it on and no need to do a second coat or touch up
- It can wear off though if you rub your eyes too much; it is not full proof from rubbing which is the only downfall
- I really love it because it really makes my eyes pop
- Really good for an Indian complexion and eyes
- Also, it does not irritate or burn and you do not have to tug your eyes to apply it
- It will come off with makeup remover, oil, or even face wash but that might take a little longer
- The best part is that you can make smooth lines with the eyeliner without breaking the line in the middle…it is that smooth
Can you see the shimmer specks?
Look at the smooth line and the shimmery bronzey effect it has!
My rating for the eyeliner would be: :-* :-*:-* + 0.5
It goes on really smooth, doesn’t flake off, and lasts most of the day! It is really easy to apply, and the color is really great. I love the strong pigmentation with hints of shimmer in it…very pretty!
The second eyeliner I really like form the line is the Special Eyes Precision eye liner pencil in ivy or forest green. This eyeliner is anywhere around 3-4 bucks ($). I don’t quite remember. I have been using this eyeliner for over a year and I just love it. There are many times when a pencil liner looks one color and comes off looking as another color on your skin, but that is not the case for this eyeliner.
- It has very nice pigmentation to it…it is the darkest of darkest greens and is just a very pretty color
- It glides on like a dream, and doesn’t tug your skin at all
- Doesn’t irritate or burn at all even on he waterline
- I always smooth it out a bit after sharpening so I don’t poke myself in the eye
- I love the consistency of the pencil…it is very soft
- Available in every color imaginable
- You can smudge it to give a smoky effect, you can make it thin or thick
- Can use it on the water line or the lash line…works wonderfully on both
- Will smudge if you rub it hard which is the case in most pencil liners
- Combine with other liners to accentuate the colors
- Price is reasonable, will last a very long time ( I have had it for a year now and still have more than half the pencil)
- Can be very precise when sharpened and very smoky when not
The reason I most love this eyeliner is because it is so versatile. I can use it alone or with other eyeliner…use it as a dark shadow and then smudge it or just use it for a smoky effect. It looks very pretty with brown/hazel eyes, which most Indians have so I believe it is a must have for our complexion and eyes.
My rating for this eyeliner would be: :-*:-*:-*:-* …it is just so pretty.
Combined look with both the eyeliners above:
Both the eyeliners above…I love combining them with black eyeliner and then build onto it similar to the picture below. I used black gel eyeliner for the base, and then added some liquid copper brown with some ivy pencil eyeliner, and it just gives my eyes all the colors it needs to pop. That is why I love the above liners…for their versatility! Go out and get these eyeliners and see the different combinations you can use them with! 🙂 Hope you liked them and let me know!!!
NICE REVIEW ANGEL !! :-))

I loved the copper brown shade. Very intense for a brown no? 🙂
YOu have very expressive eyes. 🙂

yeah, and it’s not easy to find such intense bronzy brown colour. Totally love it. :))
or are you saying that it looks intense because of her eye colour…grrr..you are confusing me since yesterday.. :teeth: I have not been able to see that girl shadow in that pile of flaxseed 😐

Hi Gia…!
Yeah, it is my eye color, but it is intensified with certain makeup and downplayed with others! 😛 Fortunately, this combination worked in my advantage…hehe! 🙂 And thank you!
both the colors look super fab on your lovely eyes !! i might pick up the brown one 🙂
Definitely do it! It is so worth it!!! I just love the shimmer specks!
Is this brand and the shades available in India? ?:-) ?:-) ?:-)
shades you might get in other brands but the brand is nt available in india. 🙁
:-(( :-(( ….ok…will try to find some today at Health and glow!! 🙂 🙂 ..I have the similar eye color, so I guess that copper brown would definitely suit me!!!! 😛 :-* :chic:
I know Rimmel is available on Ebay…and I initially thought it was in India as well…but I guess not… 🙁
wow,very deep and expressive eyes u have. i love both the colors, specially the green one. but is this brand available in india ?:-) ?:-) ?:-)
Okay…I am not sure anymore…I thought it was…but Rati said it is not and she would know better! I dont know if it helps but it is on Ebay for sure…!
Great review Angel…
The thing i find amazing about Rimmel eye pencil is how extremely soft they are…its outstanding really..I have the black one that i got some time back from UK, but will sure try some new colors 🙂
I know!!! Even when I sharpen it…it becomes soft within seconds…and never pokes my eye or anything! I adore it.
I had heard about Rimmel a lot and now the eyeliners and pencil are so “wow” :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:
where have you been? 😛 Rads has asked me to ask you what you meant by ” I had to move a lot of things in and a lot of things out”? 😀
🙂
Lovely Eyes Angel…and like your combo of copper and green blue – bright n nice 🙂

Thanks so much, Gaea!!! Omg…I am such a fan of curly hair blogs…cuz I have the same! 😛 Look forward to reading that!
This post has amazing timing; I was in the drugstore yesterday and came upon a brown Rimmel eye pencil that someone had put on the wrong shelf. I picked it up and idly thought, “Hmm, I wonder what the IMBB ladies would say about this product.” Now I know! 🙂
🙂
I hope you like it!!! Where did you buy it from? I cant seem to find it so commonly anymore.. 🙁
angel the products look amazing on ur beautiful eyes!
i am very keen on pciking up rimmel from UK but sad its not avl in India
i do have a trio eye shadow in maritime….pretty okay 🙂
the prices are tempting
I know!!! It is so affordable with such great quality!!! You know it is getting harder to find it in U.S. as well…I have no idea why!!! But hopefully, it will be available everywhere soon!
Brown liner looks great but brown does not show up on my eyes.Nice review.I saw rimmel stuff on asos and have been itching to try them out.Any recommendations.

Hi Sonia!!!
Here are the colors for the pencil eyeliner…
http://www.rimmellondon.com/US/products/eyes/Eye+Liner-Pencil/Special+Eyes+Precision+Eye+Liner+Pencil.aspx
I would suggest getting azure shimmer, burgundy (would look gorgeous on you, I am sure), navy blue and ivy…
In the liquid one…there is sapphire and black as well…and sapphire might give you a nice pop! Black is common but I heard it is has shimmery specks so that might be pretty!
Angel, I’ve never tried brown eyeliner….but I really like the sparkle it does on your eyes. I think I will try it, but I’m sure I won’t be as pretty as you…but I’ll try!!!! 🙂
I am sure it will look great on you! 🙂
