Revlon ColorStay 16 Hour Eyeshadow Review

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.

The colours included on the nude Pallete are really nice and extremely versatile, allowing for the same pallet to be used either by day, or using the darker colours for a night time feel.

The eye shadow glides on easily enough, but the pigmentation is bad, and the colour almost disappears when out on the eye socket, particularly with the lighter colours. It takes quite a bit of effort to asppear like you are wearing the product. For the pricey RRP, this isnt a winner in my opinion, and there are cheaper better versions of a mainstream colour available.

Revlon is one of my favourite drugstore brands, for good quality and affordable products, I've definitely found a few gems buying them in my pharmacy. The local pharmacy has quite a few specials on, so it's a great time to try new products.

The packaging is quite standard for Revlon, black, modern and sleek. It's in a black rectangular shape, made of sturdy black plastic. Simple, yet effective.

In terms of the applicator brush, as with other palettes it's best to use your own brush. The brushes that come with the palettes is always quite flimsy and tricky to apply. Using your own brush application is so much easier and also looks better.

I have two of these palettes as I got them both on special. The shadows are nice and feel silky to apply. They are quite long lasting, and wear well. They also have nice colour selections to choose from.

In terms of pigmentation, it's not the best- it needs to be built up by quite a few layers. So, I seem to reach for my other eyeshadows more than I do this palette.

Overall, it's a nice palette, but not my absolute favourite due to the reasons described above. Also, I find it quite pricey for what it is. So, although there's many Revlon products I love, this doesn't make the top of my list.

I am usually quite a bargain hunter when it comes to eye shadows... but I think all of that has changed now!

I got this eye shadow quad (Addictive) as a free gift with my usual Revlon Colorstay purchases. And I think I am converted!

The colours on this quad were lovely, subtle and perfect for an everyday nude look...or put it on heavier for a smoky eye for going out at night. and the easiest thing...just stick to the recommendation on the back.

I found it does last a lot longer than a lot of the eye shadows I have used in the past and it is easy to apply. No excess powder bits getting everywhere, silky smooth application.

I would recommend anyone try it

I love this stuff. I don't even need to apply a base for this to stay on nicely. It's also a lovely colour. I would totally buy more if I had money.

I have this in precious, a quad with plum,pink, greyish black and an iridescent white. I got this on sale and I have to admit this is surprisingly good! The shadows are very smooth and blend in so easily. The pink and the plum look amazing together. The powders are really fine so they stick to my eyelids really well. It doesn't crease and doesn't have enormous fallout. I haven't worn it for any longer than 8 hours but from what I've seen it stays put and behaves all through the day.

This quad is great to take on holiday or just carry around in my handbag because I can get a nice soft day look and a smokey eye out of it.

This was a good pallet for me to start off using as it only contains a few shadows. It made it more simple for me to know what I should put where. I probably wouldn't use it know as I have found some more preferable shades but it is great for beginners. Even to keep in a bag so you can throw some on when you're caught out.

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!

We got this free when we bought a whole lot of Revlon in bulk for the purposes of ball make up at work. Feeling the texture it is fairly silky but not the best some seem a little chalky but not bad the pigmentation is not very good though if you want something subtle then this is good for beginners the fact that two are bigger than the other two in this quad is a bit weird the applicator is so so your own brushes will work better how long the colour lasts is not true to claim really unless you have the right skin texture and wear primer underneath. Blending is easy enough but for the price and only four shadows I do not think I would buy more of them the brown in the picture above could double as a brow definer. Nothing huge to rave about but not bad.
