So in a previous Feel Unique haul I was given the option to choose a free sample, and I decided on the Eyeko Skinny Mini Liquid Liner: a black, felt-tip liner. NB: I actually got a full size sample with the June edition of Glamour! I've never tried an Eyeko make-up product, only their eyelash curlers that I got in a Glamour Beauty Edit box a while back.
First thoughts were: great - a mini eye-liner for my handbag!
It's cute, super small and nice packaging. But what I found was (as I'm a total noob at applying liquid liner) the pen wasn't long enough for me to grip properly (which was solved when I got the full size version). I do prefer a felt-tip, because liquid eyeliners are scary and I'm seriously not that good at stopping my hand shaking - even with the pinky resting against my face! And I'd rather not stick bits of tape on my face every day....
The colour pay-off was okay- not too intense, but not too faint. The only problem being that it smudges like anything! I was disappointed to find that when I got home after wearing it for around 4/5 hours, that it had transferred to parts of my eye that didn't need eyeliner! ><
So, verdict is - sticking to the Rimmel Scandel eyes. Sorry Eyeko :( x
