This is an eyeliner I used in black for a couple of years and found it to be good, if not a bit standard. Application is easy, smooth and gives a medium/thick line. My only criticisms are that I would have to disagree with the claims that it lasts up to 16 hours as I never got anywhere near that and although it looks great immediately after application, it does have a tendency to smudge a wee bit but otherwise, no major issues. The retractable twist design doesn't particularly bother me but I reckon you do get more bang for your buck with a pencil eyeliner. I've since switched to a different brand pencil eyeliner in a brown shade which is better suited to me but I still have my trusty old Colorstay as backup!

I like how easy it is to apply this product as some eyeliners require me to go over my eyes a few times to get the colour to really show. I like how i don't need to sharpen it regularly. But it smudge a little when I wear it outside.
I've used this for years & although it's not really waterproof & definitely does not last 16 hours, I still love it. The colour is great, pigmented so black is a good true black. I love the pencil end. It's a twist out so soft & easy to use. It's small enough so get right in the lash line.
Since it's called Colorstay I thought it might actually stay but after a 9 hour day at work (my standard everyday hours) I couldn't find a trace of it on my face.. At least I can say it wasn't smudged or anything but that's because it wasn't there at all! In saying that, it was easy and good to apply, very coloured and after trying it with a eyelid primer too, it stayed on all day easily but I don't always have time to do this so it isn't an everyday use product for me.
Tips: Use eyelid primer to make this the perfect eyeliner!
Colorstay eyeliner in black and the black/brown was one of the best liners on the market in terms of pigmentation and long-wear, however since this line has been re-formulated the texture has changed and the black shade is slightly blue/grey toned (not a true black) applies a bit patchy and just isn't worth my effort anymore especially since you are paying $20+ for this product.
I have a couple of these that I have used over the years, it is a good, black eyeliner. It goes on pretty smooth. Because it is quite creamy, it can smudge and I find it doesn't last ages on my waterline.
Tips: Try setting the liner with black eyeshadow to avoid smudging.
I tried this product but I can't say it's my fav. I have found much better ones. But it does the job.
I like this eyeliner, for me it doesn't seem to move itself all around my eye like some other eyeliners do. However after a while (because of the creamy texture) it does tend to smudge a little and so it's always on my conscience to go check in the mirror every once in a while in case! The twist application means that it looks pretty classy but won't contain as much product as a traditional pencil eyeliner.
Tips: Using an eye primer will help keep the eyeliner put for longer :)
I thought I'd try this as I was getting sick of stubby pencils and having to sharpen them. I had this a week and broke the 'lead' - was a bit hacked off so back to the pencil variety. I probably wound it out too far, but felt I needed to in order to get it where I wanted to. Was very thick on application and I felt like a panda. I have other Revlon pencils and I love them. 6/10.
Tips: I'm not a fan of the wind out pencils... Just my personal preference and possibly not used to them.
I've used this eyeliner for the past four years or so and it really goes on so smoothly, and is lovely and soft, giving me a nice black line (I use blackest black). It the pencil lasts me forever, even if it doesn't actually last the 16hrs it claims, but it may just be the fact I don't set it under my eyes. Still love this stuff.
Tips: Set it to make it last longer.
