Hey guys!
Welcome back or if you haven't visited my blog before thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy!
Today I am reviewing two of the newly released Magnif'eyes shadow and liners by Rimmel as well as giving you a step by step easy eye look you can achieve using these handy little guys.
REVIEW
First off, their are 4 colours to choose from. I received the colours 'Kissed By Rose Gold' which has a dark brown Kohl Kajal eyeliner with a small amount of shimmer in it on one end and a beautiful metallic rose gold eye shadow on the other and the other colour is 'Dark Side Of Blue' which has a pretty electric blue on the liner side, which is matte and a steel grey with a little bit of fine shimmer through it (see swatch photos.)There is also a black and grey and a bronze and gold option.
Two-in-one products like the Magnif'eyes are a great thing to have in your makeup bag for those days you don't want to use a heap of different products and brushes to achieve a great eye look or if you are just starting out with makeup, because these are a cream formula you can just blend them out using your fingers with minimal time and effort involved.

These have some serious staying power! I wore them for 8 hours+ and had no creasing and only slight fading. If you are looking for a product to create a really quick look that lasts you all through the day I highly recommend you go swatch these at Priceline!
I was really surprised with how creamy and pigmented these are, they glide on really smoothly and don't tug on your skin but also aren't so soft that they will break while using them.
The only downside I see with these is because they are designed to be long wearing you do have to work with them quite quickly because once they set, they don't budge! So just keep that in mind while using them and do one eye at a time then blend straight away and you won't have any issues.
RRP: $16.95

STEP BY STEP EYE LOOK
I thought I would include a 'pictorial' for an easy eye look using my favourite colour out of the two 'Kissed By Rose Gold' just to give you an idea on how you can use the Magnif'eyes shadow & liners.
STEP 1:
I applied some concealer on my eyelids firstly and set it powder to get rid of any discolouration and act as a base for the shadow then I applied the rose gold shade all over my lid almost up to my crease.
STEP 2:
I used a fluffy crease brush to soften and blend out the shadow up into my crease, you can just use your finger to gently smudge out the edges if you wanted.
STEP 3:
I also applied some of the rose gold colour along my lower lash line and blended it out.
STEP 4:
Using the dark brown liner side of pencil I lined my upper lash line and smudged it out using a flat shader brush.
STEP 5:
You could leave it at just lining the lash line but I wanted to test out how well you can do a wing using the liner. I found it really easy to use for a winged eye as the liner is quite long you can lay it flat against your eye and it helps create the line for you. I smudged out the liner for a softer look.
STEP 6:
Lastly I used the rose gold to line my bottom water line and the dark brown colour on my upper water line and then added some mascara.
Here is the finished look. I used a dark red, matte lipstick by Klara Cosmetics in 'Vintage Burgandy' to finish it off and give it more of an Autumnal vibe, but you could match it with any lip colour you like!
I hope you guys enjoyed this post and found it helpful.
