Revlon ColorStay 16 Hour Eyeshadow Review

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 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

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.

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.

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 shades are amazing - I have the seductive palette aswel as the luscious - and the cheat sheet is a great little tutorial for people like me who are useless at applying makeup!

I purchased this eye pallet very cheap whilst in a pharmacy. It was only a few dollars and the colours looked as if they would suit my skin tone, so I grabbed the opportunity.

I am glad that I did! It has become one of my staple pallets now, especially because I can use it for a day time look and then darken it up for the evening with the fourth and most dark colour. The colour stays really well and I find it doesn't smudge or pool in the crease as much as other products.

The one let down of this product is the application brush. The tip of mine started to slip off the plastic handle and the foam itself started to disintergrate with little black bits getting in the way of application. I have switched to using my own eyeshadow brush now.

I have two of these palettes and they are amongst my favourites. They go on really easily (I use a brush) and stay all day. The guide on the back gives you an example of how and where to apply but you are still free to do it your way. Very happy with this product.

I use this palette everyday. I have the neutral brown palette and I use it every single time I do my makeup. The lighter brown is great for my brows and my crease, the dark brown is my everyday eyeliner and the sparkly creamy colour is my all over shadow colour. Best quad to have!
