Revlon ColorStay 16 Hour Eyeshadow Review

I like the colour range and the way it wears. Stays on all day and easy to blend. A must in my makeup bag

I received this is a gift with purchase and finally cracked it open last week. I was so excited to finally learn how to apply eyeshadow correctly and learnt that I'd been putting the darkest colour in the wrong spot since I was a teenager - whoops! The instructions were easy to understand and the eyeshadow glided on nicely. The look was subtle, yet sophisticated. A look I prefer as I don't like going to playgroups or the grocery store looking like I'm about to head out for a night on the razz. As for 16 Hours? To be honest I couldn't comment as I have no reason to wear makeup that long - but I can say that it passes the 10 hour test. The only negative I could find is that the pigment isn't great. So if for some mad reason I were to find myself heading out for the night and wanted to make my eyes pop I would use another eyeshadow from a different range rather than this one.

I have a couple of these (mostly from gift with purchases!), and they have some really nice colours. The formula is generally reasonably soft and smooth, although sometimes I find their darker colours can be slightly clumpy. Despite this, sometimes the pigmentation on these isn't too great, and I find that they aren't super buildable. Ok if you are just wanting a nice wash of colour, though!

This is a good eyeshadow palette. The pigmentation is great and it is long lasting but for a drugstore palette, I think it is very overpriced. For two of these palettes you can get a naked palette which in my opinion is more worth it. Overall it is a good palette but I wouldn't purchase it again.

Such good eyeshadows and I love that they are a quad and that you dont have to buy them individually. I find it really great that they have the step by steps on the back that shows you how to apply!

i like this product. the colour payoff is good and when used with a primer it does last. the only thing i dont like about it, is the claim to last 16 hours!! i don't know anyone who would want their makeup on that long and i think its unprofessional for a company to promote that idea, i understand the concept of transitioning from day to night but even still i would start fresh for my night makeup, i just feel more clean. overall 3.5 out of 5

I like the matte colours and it lasted pretty long great for a nice smokey eye since I am dark skinned.

I have the quad with 2 browns, a shimmery grey and a light pink. The colours are great and blend really well but I do not feel that the shadows last 16 hours. Would repurchase and recommend because the colours are lovely and not too powdery.

I love these little eyehadow quads as they come in such gorgeous colours! They blend well, but some colours come off a little more chalky and powdery (I know they're powders, but they seem overly powdery) than others which is a little disappointing. I can never turn Revlon eyeshadows down so I'll keep buying them for their ease of travel and colour combinations :)

This eyeshadow is ok, but I find the lighter colours are not very pigmented and you have to use a lot of them.
