I wouldn’t buy this again. It has a very short life span once applied, it’s almost worth not using anything - unless you like the look of black smudges under your eyes!!

I have used this quite a few times and each time I was really disappointed, it just doesn't last. After a few hours it starts to run and is really smudgy under my eyes.. ends up looking like I have dark circles under my eyes. It's pigmented really well and is really dark and goes on nice and smoothly, just wish it would last and not end up all over my eyes!
When I regularly tightlined my lids with a twist up rectractible this was one of the ones I tried because I was on the hunt for one that was actually smudge proof for my lash line and water line. It did give a good amount of black pigment but it would always smudge within about half an hour or sooner if it was hot. Carrying Q-tips was a must because I needed them so often. I wouldn't repurchase this or recommend it. It's pretty expensive for something that smudges so quickly unless that's the look you want.
Tips: If you want something that lasts awhile go for a liquid or maybe a gel liner. It probably costs about the same and is cheaper.
Preemptive warning: this will be more of a rant than a review.
I purchased Revlon's eyeliner because I had run out of my MAC liner and I wanted something to use in the meantime (this was before MAC was available in Hamilton).
Firstly, I love twist eyeliners so that is a plus for this product; other than that I was extremely disappointed. I'm pretty sure I was charged up to $10 more than the RRP at my local Farmers and the eyeliner has less product in grams than most others brands! Not only is there less product but the width of the liner is extreme! For the purpose of application the width is ridiculous; and I have a conspiracy theory that the size is just an excuse to make the product run out quicker.
I purchased this product in a brown, they only have one brown available and it is really dark... it would be great to see more options. Revlon is such a large brand I'm sure they could make more colours available.
Most disappointingly is the product's ability to "stay," I knew that the foundation in the 'Colour Stay' range was popular so I figured the eyeliner would deliver the same results, alas, it did not. The eyeliner smudges and does not stay, definitely not an option for use on the waterline.
In summary: the product does not "stay", there are limited colours, price per gram-age is a rip off. The best thing about the product is the packaging.
Tips: Don't bother.
I got this a long time ago as I really needed a new eyeliner. I hadn't tried any Revlon eyeliners and a friend spoke very highly of this so following her advice, I purchased it.
This swatches really well on my hand and appeared really pigmented. When I got it home and used it it also appeared to have great pigmentation on my waterline and lower eyelid. However, after about 5 minutes of wearing this my eyes really, really stung and started to water really badly. I washed this off but they were sore for the rest of the day.
This happened every time I have used this for my waterline - so I stopped using it there. It irritates my eyes mildly when I use it on my lower lash line, but it is worth pointing out that my eyes are sensitive.
I found that this was really smudge and didn't have great staying power - whenever I have used this after about three hours it has mostly smudged right off, or over my face. Obviously I don't like this and for that reason I won't purchase it again and I wouldn't recommend it. If you're looking for a pm affordable eyeliner, I'd go th Australis over this.
My eyes are quite watery and dry and I felt this just wore right off after an hour or so, especially on the waterline. I found it was quite hard to apply (did not glide on smoothly after a few uses) and couldn’t get very precise results with. It also breaks very easily. I definitely prefer a liquid eyeliner. Wouldn’t try again.
I am liquid eyeliner girl, but was gifted Revlon colour stay from my MIL. I found it messy to , and it did not wear well, was not for me.
the actual eyeliner itself is great. but I dislike the twist application thingy and u cant sharpen it well atleast i couldnt figure that out, I also dislike how it applies as a thick line, i also dropped it once and now its all broken inside making it unusable. however the actual eyeliner is great doesn't smudge or anything just which it came as an actual pencil.
I desperately wanted to like this pencil because of the fact it was retractable and I feel like everything in the colorstay range was amazing. But I just can't bring myself to love it. I found it wasn't as smooth as I would like it to be when applying and didn't 'stay' as long as I expected. However it was super black which I loved. But just maybe I'm expecting too much.. Maybe.
Glides on smoothly & the colour is good. I have my eyeliner tattooed on (micro pigmentation) but occasionally I use eyeliner on my eyelid to make my eyes pop more, I used this one and after a couple of hours it had smudged up under my eyebrow!! So much for not smearing or smudging!! I had a second eyebrow in black below my actual eyebrow!! Not impressed. But I decided to give it another couple of chances to prove itself & the same thing happened. Only good for lower eyeliner.
