Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner Review

This was one of the first liquid liners I used and found it really easy to create strong, bold, thick lines with. I wouldn't recommend it for precision however as there are now thinner liquid liners on the market. I would like to compare this liner with its "thinner" counterpart but haven't yet tried it.

I find Revlon's products generally wear well and this eye liner definitely has some strong staying power once applied and set. I would only use it again to fill in eye liner or when really heavy eye liner is being used.

I brought this and was excited to get home and use this as I have loved other revlon products and I am a big fan of their colourstay foundation. I felt meh, I wasn’t wowed or neither highly disappointed. It’s a nice dark black colour which I prefer. It is easy to apply. However I found the line isn’t defined after applying the eyeliner. I also found that the product dried out very quickly, meaning that after having first opened, the whole product dried out within 2 months. For the price, I believe there are better products.

I have always wanted to try a liquid eyeliner as my pencil eyeliners smudge and end up under my eyes. I have to say this looked good. It was a nice rich dark colour. Need a bit of practice with keeping a straight hand as any little wiggle is very noticeable. However after applying, less than 20 seconds later my eyelids started to tingle and then started to sting. I kept it on for a minute thinking the sting will go away when it dried but it didnt. I ended wiping it off (came off really easily with cotton bud and water). Wont be using again.

This claims to last all day... It doesn't on me. I bought this at a recent makeup sale as I'm looking for a liquid eyeliner that doesn't crack, fade or smudge off all day. Because I generally like Revlon I thought this would be a good deal.

The liner 'brush' is one of those ones that is a felt tip pen but you have to dip back into the pot to pick up more product. I'm not crazy about this as I prefer an actual brush but I do find it easy to use. The applicator does make a really nice thin line and is easy to control so I think this would be good for beginners.

The pigmentation is really lovely and black, which I immediately loved. However the staying power (on me at least), sucks. After a few hours I find that this starts to fade quite drastically. It does stay out and won't smudge when dry, but I don't like that it fades so much.

As this is fairly new to me and I do like the applicator, I will finish the tube out but to make this last longer I've been applying gel eyeliner over the top. This is a little annoying as I want a liquid liner that eliminates this process, but I find that if I do this then my liner doesn't fade out.

Unless you get this on sale and don't mind applying another liner over the top, I'd give this a miss. In my opinion the Jordana liner is much better in terms of lasting power and price. I really don't think this is worth the price and even though I only paid $11 for it I still don't feel it was money well spent.
