Amazing eyeliner....longest lasting. I'm not kidding. I wore it tons party yesterday. Washed my face with soap and water....I assumed the eyeliner was off and didn't look into a mirror after I washed my face and woke up this morning with eyeliner on. Yep, its been on my eyes all day. I'm buying a few more of these cuz they are so good. Worth the $ and more. Don't waste ur money on expensive liner ...this is the best. Good job Revlon.

This stuff burns!! And it comes right off every time I curl my eyelashes. The only thing I like about this stuff is the brush.

So, I bought this and used it a few months ago. Worked just fine, in fact I had thought I had found my perfect eyeliner from the drugstore. Today I got it back out (my E.L.F gel liner dried up and fell out of the container.) and as I was using it, I got onto my right eye (after doing the left) and both eyes started burning out of no where! So I ignored it for a couple minutes thinking I was just imagining things, cause I loved this at one time! Once I took it off, I tried it again to be sure that this was what made them burn, I barely finished my left eye and it started burning! Ugh. I'll probably try this on last time to be sure, if so it's going in the trash.

LIke this eyeliner for the finish and the applicator.But the love affair with this liner ends there. I would'nt call my eyes sensitive but if you accidently got this into your eye..which I am sure most of us do when applying, it burns like hell..I mean really like hell !!!!! That is the biggest dealbreaker for me..Off to the trash it goes!!!

PROS:
-fairly good for getting thin lines
-stays on pretty much all day (crumbles a bit)

CONS:
-the brush is okay, better for thicker lines
-crumbles slightly throughout the day

Personally I don't wear eyeliner that often and I only have this liquid liner so I can't really review this product very well, I mainly use pencil liner, if I use any eyeliner at all, but I don't get on very well With liquid liner in general so I Wouldn't buy this product again, next time I will try to find one with a thinner brush as I much prefer thin lines.

okay this has got to be one of the best liquid liners i have EVER used in my time. i use to use MAC liquid liner until i ran out and made an emergency run to walmart to find something i could use until i got another one. that was when i came accross the Revlon Colour Stay liquid liner. all i can say is that im greatful i ran out of MAC bc this is the same quality just WAY cheaper. i LOVE it.

I love this eye liner! I have been using it for years because I do cat-eye makeup. This is the BEST liquid eye liner in black that I've used from a drugstore and I honestly choose it over anything you find in Sephora. That's coming from someone who has bright MAC eye liners (which I think are messy and make my eyelashes stuck together). This stuff glides smoothly and only takes one application unlike Loreal eyeliners that are watery and see through. The applicator isnt messy like a brush, its lines are consistant. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

This eyeliner is amazing, once you get the feel for the felt tip, you can easily control it and get the lines you want, and they stay all day without much re-applying. although it can take awhile to dry, once its on, it stays put. perfect for winged-looks and cat eyes, but once in awhile it can make a line on the top of my lid but thats just because the shape of my eye...no fixing that /: All in all, a great liner that does the job!

This is a great liquid eyeliner. The applicator is just the right size, and is firm enough to create a stunning look easily. At first it is hard to manage, but that problem is gone once you get used to the product. The colour is intense and dramatic. The packaging is lovely. There doesn't seem to be much in the small bottle, but it last for ages. However, it seems to become quite watery over time, and the colour fades sometimes. Still, perfect eyeliner.

HG liquid eyeliner, i alternate between this and physicians formula cream liners, depends on what kind of look i'm going for. i've only tried three liquid eyeliners but a huge variety of pencil and gel but i always come back to this. Nothing else is as dark, plus i have great control with this. It lasts a long time and packaging isn't horrible. Its small so i always knock it over but thats just me being clumsy.I don't find any faults but my sister says it stings when she fixes her eyeliner with water and then reapplies, so maybe not for sensitive lids. I'd buy again :)

I love this stuff! So black and the brush is so perfect and skinny. Doesn't smudge(except when still wet, which is good when you mess up).

I bought this once because I heard so many good reviews on it. It wasn't long lasting at all. After an hour or so of driving, it started to smear onto my lids and I haven't used it since. I prefer gel eyeliner to anything else.

I used this about three years ago and wondered why I stopped when I recently picked it up again. Then I remembered. Like many of the reviews below me, this eyeliner is not meant for oily lids. Close to the end of my work day, it smudges all over my lids and sometimes transfers down to my bottom lashes, leaving me with raccoon eyes. The black is a nice matte, but it cracks on me in the middle of the day.

I think this is best for people who have dry lids.

This eyeliner gives a very matte finish, but does crack a bit after drying so I recommend waiting for it to dry at first and then doing another even coat. It stays a LONG time so make sure you correct any mistakes right away.

Problem with this for me is that it burns the heck out of my lid. I didn't think this was a big deal at first since it just burnt for about a minute and then seemed okay, but later at night when I was removing it, I got some in my eye. Oh my god I think it would've been less painful to pour liquid soap into my eye. :( So I won't be using it again but I thought I'd let you guys know - if it burns at first, be super careful removing it!!!

Please keep in mind that results vary depending on how you use it, skin type and location.

I like this product. It is a reasonable price and once it dries it stays where I put it. It's important to let it dry! I use a waterproof pencil liner on my upper eyelids and this on the bottom. I have been caught in the rain and gone to the pool with it on. I don't know that it is necessarily better than other brands but it is a decent price and easy/convenient to find.

This stuff is so bad words escape me. I used this years ago, way before Makeup Alley come into my life. I have very oily skin and eyeliners always smear on me. I used to wander the drugstores, searching for ANYTHING long wearing and smudeproof. This said "Colorstay" on it. I took that to mean it did not smear or smudge. I used to use this and I always wondered why I looked like Rocky Raccoon.


Fast forward to today. Now I read Makeup Alley. Now I know what to buy. Now I use that L’Oreal waterproof one with the blue cap. Darn, I always forget the name but I know it when I see it in the stores. That stuff really IS smudge proof and waterproof. One day recently I saw Colorstay in the store and thought I would give it another try, for old times sake...you know...kind of like when you remarry your ex-husband during a boozy Las Vegas weekend. You can't remember exactly WHY you divorced that sexy, good looking rascal in the first place, but you suddenly remember EXACTLY why once you are good and sober.


You have your "AH HA" moment when the skies part and your head is now full of wisdom. . That is exactly what I had with this product.


Now I remember why we got divorced in the first place.


SMEAR CITY PEOPLE!


To be used by oily skinned people only if they enjoy looking like they have not slept in three weeks.

For reference, I used the waterproof version of this product. It still smears and smudges.

I really don't like this eyeliner. I especially despise the applicator. Its short and stubby and stiff and wide which makes it hard to get a thin line and especially worse bc i found it impossible to get the inner corner a thin line so it looked really bad with a thick line in my inner corner. The first time i used this, it really burned my eyes, idk why. The next few times i tried it, it wasn't as irritating.

Fantastic liner. Great applicator. You can use it head on or side-on for different effects - easier than the thin brush liners of some liquid liners. Fantastic staying power.
