Revlon ColorStay 16 Hour Eyeshadow Review

I've been using revlon quads for years... and always end up with two empty pans, and two still full. Lovely neutrals which I find with a good blending brush look great adding in the dark. I've never used the instructions on the back, but it's a good idea for people who need direction. Totally an everyday shadow and relatively purse friendly!

I recieved one of these in a Revlon 'spend $65 get a free wee pack of makeup' deal. I have it in shade 500 Addictive Intoxiquant and I'm just not a fan. I've tried using it quite a few times but I just find the colours aren't very pigmented and don't build up very well. I just can't get t to work for me! They do blend pretty well and have a lovely shimmery sheen to them but it's just the pigmentation that lets them down! As a result I really never reach for this small palette, instead I have a number of bigger palettes I can create a many different looks with.

Revlon make some great products but I just find that this isn't one of them!

My shadow Quad is still in my collection and I still use it every once and a while. The colours are nice and the packaging is also nice. The colours have med pigment pay off. They do feel a little grainy and not as smooth as others, they do blend out ok but do require a bit of work. It definity does stay on for a good few hours but on me personally after 3-4 hours it did seem to lighten and become non existent. Using a good eyeshadow primer does help it stay on longer. I do like that there is a step by step on the back for a little help.

I love the range of colours that you can get in these cute palettes and I have collected many myself. I especially love the blue shades as they make my eyes (which are blue/grey) really stabd out and look much more vivid. I found that the staying power was pretty good with these and they look a bit of effort to wash off so posssibly just with water still stay on. However I did like to re-apply uust once during the day to brighten the colours up a bit. I would recommend this eyeshadow to anyone as there are so many shades to choose from and this product is pretty reliable and trustworthy.

Love this eyeshadow's stickability. It's long lasting as promised on the packet and easy to blend. Best of all, it doesn't gather in wrinkles which tends to accentuate my aging eyelids in all the wrong ways. My personal favourite in this range is "Addictive". The brown shades are just right for my warm toned skin. The overall look is flattering and not the "mutton dressed up as ham" look I want to avoid.

I have been a fan of the Revlon ColorStay quad for many years now. The colours I use on a daily basis and they take you through to evening. I love the fact that once you put it on in the morning, it still looks good after a long day teaching. The colours can be applied as subtly or as dark as you like.

I have this as a staple colour pack, its my go to when im using a more natural colour palette. All colours blend well together and you can't fault the helpful tips on the back. It lasts all day and goes on nice and easily, i sometimes use it a little wet if i need a more intense look. It pairs up nicely with a brown to dark brown eyeliner. Perfect handbag or touch up bag size. Definitely not a disappointing combination. :)
