Revlon ColorStay 16 Hour Eyeshadow Review

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.

Definitely doesn't last 16 hours, maybe 5 if you're lucky. Quite crumbly/chalky. I like how it has the guide on the back for where to apply and it is a good mix of colours but its definitely not quality eye shadow.

I love that it is so easy to use as it has the 4 colours and instructions on where to place these colours to create a look.

These exceptional pallets come with a lovely matte crease colour . Brow high light , and two blend-able complementary shades these eyeshadows have great pigmentation I am not sure if they lasted 16 hours but I don't usually wear makeup for that long .So not a problem for me . I used a primer which I use everyday anyway . Sleek smooth easy to use compact , with great easy to use instructions on the back as a guide or create your own look . I don't use the foam applicator as I find it ineffective . I use a eyeshadow brush instead . A little goes a very long way , these eyeshadows are very soft and smooth and make for an easy application . I was first drawn to to the gorgeous neutral shade pallets, but after seeing the other impressive creative colour combination I now own 3 of these quads 530 Seductive ,540 Ispired , 595 Harmonious. 4.8grams of product ( they are going to last for ages) Love them all wish I had more .

I received one of these eyeshadow quads as a freebie for spending over $65 on revlon products. At first I was excited to try it because I had only tried the revlon creme eyeshadows before and I love a lot of other revlon products. These eyeshadows were disappointing. They are rather powdery and hard to apply compared with others I have tried and there is very little pigmentation to the colours. I also highly doubt these will last 16 hours on your eyelids

I received this Revlon quad as a gift from my Mum - it was part of an eyeshadow and mascara gift pack. I always buy Revlon makeup as I find it a really reliable brand and have another Revlon quad that is fantastic so was really optimistic about this one. I love the colour combinations - all work really well and compliment/off-set one another. They work really well for day and night wear and I love being able to combine a couple or all of them. One thing I was a bit disappointed with was the pigmentation and 'pop' of the colors - I find they can be a bit powdery and light and you have to really build up the colour for a dramatic look. I definitely wouldn't agree that they are 16hour shadows, but they do seem to last well for 4-6 hours. I also haven't had any real problems with creasing and they are super easy to blend - I guess that comes down to them being quite light. I probably wouldn't go out and purchase this quad for myself, but I am happy enough with the product that I use it regularly.

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!

So I got this (a while ago) and although I do not wear eye shadow everyday (it is left for nights out....... whenever they are) but I used it last weekend which reminded how much I enjoy wearing eye shadow.

I enjoy the four colours (mine is as pictured on here with more earthy colours - these are always my colours of choice as they bring out the green in my eyes.... or the blue... whatever they bring out my eyes) and I LOVE that it is all on one easy to use pallet - this is my going out make up, less to carry if I am getting ready at a friends. I always fade darker on the outside of the eyes and lighter towards the nose. Like most people I use my own eye shadow brush because the one it came with is .... ummm terrible (yup I am going to use terrible) - it is just one of those foam eye shadow things that is hard to blend and never puts enough colour on. Just another reason why my brushes keep on paying for themselves lol (justification people)

It doesn't wear as well as my new fav which I will hopefully get to review at some point. But it is a good one for going out with. However you would need to touch it up if going out after work and wearing all day.

I got this from a gift with purchase. I found it not as successful as other Revlon eyeshadows I have used which was a bit disappointing and found that the colours were quite powdery and lacked pigmentation particularly the dark brown (this was the quad above) Having said that I have found with these quads that some colours last/apply better than others so it is a shame about the lack of consistency.

When I first got into make up this was my go to eye shadow. It has all of the instructions on the back on how to use it,which is great as it shows u were to put what colours. I would really recommend this and the colours can be great for daytime or night time wear. The colours are very easy to blend also :)
