When I buy eyeliner I usually buy something different every single time.
I like trying things that are new, but mostly I like trying things that
promise me something nothing else does.
When I came across Revlon's Colorstay Eyeliner I wanted to try it based solely off of its bold promise.
According to the package Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner would stay put for 16 hours. No smudging, no fading and no smearing.
To me that seemed like a crock, but hey, they were confident enough to
promise such a claim, so why not put their claim to the test?
Does Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner really last for 16 hours without fading, smudging or smearing?
The eyeliner itself went on smoothly and clean. There was no breaking
of the eyeliner, no caking of it and no drying feeling when I applied
it. This was a plus, but it was also something I have seen before, time
and time again. It goes on smoothly, but will it last as long as it
says?
I applied the eyeliner at 8 in the morning. I headed to work to begin
my 8 hour work day. I checked myself in the mirror at noon and was
surprised to see that my eyeliner was still in place. I did however
notice a very small smudge near the outer corner of both eyes. I wiped
it away, it was not really a big deal though, because usually by noon
other eyeliner's have giant smudges in that same area, so seeing that
the smudge was very small was OK with me.
By the time my shift was up, we were at hour 8. The eyeliner still
looked nicely put, and in place. I did, however, notice some
discoloration on my upper eyelid crease. The black eyeliner did streak
the upper lid with a faded black color.
This is a pretty normal occurrence for me, but it was only hour 8, and
the promise that the package boldly claimed was already proved false.
By hour 10 my upper eyelid has a much more obvious black crease, and
the eyeliner itself on my lids looked very faded. Not any worse than any
other eyeliner I have tried in the past, but faded enough as to where I
could definitely say this liner does not live up to its 16 hour
promise.
Overall:
Although Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner did not 100% live up to the 16 hour
promise, it was in fact one of the longest lasting eyeliners I have
ever used. I've used other liners with the same 16 hour promise, and
they did not live up to it quite as strongly as Revlon's Colorstay
Eyeliner did.
Although it's not perfect, it's damn well near it, and I highly recommend it.
