Rimmel London Exaggerate Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner, 2.5 ml, Black

Exactly what I was looking for – bold black and long-lasting!I’ve tried quite a few eyeliners over the years, but this one really impressed me. The black is rich and intense – not grayish or faded like some others. What I love most is the brush: it’s super precise and easy to control, even if you’re not a pro. Whether I want a thin line for everyday or a more dramatic winged look, it applies beautifully.Another big plus: it stays put all day. No smudging, no flaking – it only comes off with proper makeup remover, which to me means it really holds up. Definitely worth trying if you want a reliable, jet-black eyeliner that’s easy to use and stays where it should!

Always used this black liquid eyeliner! It’s literally the best. Application is easy with the brush and just glides lovely. Never smudges and perfect texture. Photo attached is after 12 hour wear on a boiling hot day.

Positives:- long lasting- smudge proof (it crumbles if anything)- easy to remove (you can almost peel it off by the end of the day)- actually waterproof (at least tear proof)- very black but glossy and I couldn’t find a matte waterproof versionNegatives:- brush is stubby and not flexible making it hard to get a sharp line- makes eyelashes crispy if you get it on them which makes putting on mascara clumpy- not eyelash curler friendly (even when left to dry it sticks to curler and requires reapplication, perhaps this is down to the glossy finish)- very black but glossy and I couldn’t find a matte waterproof version- it is smudge proof but if you rub hard enough it crumbles- not great on textured lidsI want to love this product, but I have to admit, despite lots of practice I just can’t get my liner crisp with it, and the inability to curl my eyelashes after my liner is on is really annoying, especially as I don’t feel like lining after the fact gives as good a result, even touch ups look wonky. When I first started using eyeliner this was the style I used, and I thought I’d get on fine after years of using pens, but honestly I think this is too finicky, and the margin for error if you’re not stellar at putting on a wing (which I am not) is too high. Plus, I’ll admit, I’ve been spoiled recently by having a tester of the KVD Tattoo Liner, which if it wasn’t ridiculously over priced, I’d love to keep using as I particularly like the brush (not felt tip) applicator, I think it gives a much cleaner, sharper result.This eyeliner has a lot going for it and if you can perfect your application or don’t need to curl your eyelashes, for the price it’s excellent, however for me I don’t think I will repurchase once it’s finishes. Instead I will continue to look for an inexpensive brush tip pen liner, or go back to products such as the L’Oréal Perfect Slim Superliner which despite not being waterproof gives a cleaner wing in my opinion.Hope this helps you decide if this product is for you or not.

Very goodStays on all day no smudging

Easy to apply with a small fine tip. Very black unlike some, only need one line. Dries quickly and isn’t sticky on the lid. Seems so far to be long lasting and hasn’t flaked away like some do. I wish I was on holiday to test the waterproof claim, but I’m very happy, one of the better ones

I bought this as it states was waterproof. I put this on and went out for a walk on a hot day. When I got back the wings I had made for my eyes had almost completely gone from sweat and I had to reapply. This does not bode well for my holiday.

Use for wings, and although its liquid the applicator is sort of like a hard pointed felt tip. Which is great, as felt tips have alot of control but seem to constantly dry out mid use for me. Lasts all day, resistant to some accidental smudging and still can be taken off easily. An eyeliner for life, and also on a budget!

I’ve been wearing black eyeliner every day since I was a teenager and obsessed with wanting to look like a sort of blue eyed Cleopatra. I’ve tried many brands and bought this one based on the good reviews because my previous brand, Bobbi Brown liquid eyeliner, has been discontinued. The new ink liners are, to my mind, not nearly so good as the proper liquid ones. I can’t get a decent black line with them - it always looks too pale and thin and not like in the pictures. Because of lockdown I decided to order the Rimmel one and I’m very pleased with it. I would say it doesn’t stay on quite so well as the Bobbi Brown one, but for less than £4 versus £25 for the Bobbi Brown one, there’s no competition. Most of the time it stays on well. If you exercise and get sweaty it can smudge a little, but generally it goes on easily and stays there. Compared with the Bobbi Brown one, the brush is stiffer, which makes it easier to use, and the bottle stands upright and doesn’t leak, which is fantastic. I’ve found my new go to eyeliner!
