Review: Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner - a drugstore brand liquid eyeliner

This is a review for the Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner. I have this in the color Blackest Black.

Revlon ColorStay has 2 other eyeliners, and their names are a little confusing.

• Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner = the pencil eyeliner
• Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eye Pen = the liquid eyeliner that looks like a sharpie
• Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner = the liquid eyeliner that has a brush

What it does:
Elegant, sexy and sophisticated, Revlon® Colorstay™ Liquid Liner allows you to emphasize your eyes with precision. Dries quickly and lasts all day.

Price: will vary on where you buy it. I spent about $7.



Let's check how this product lasts!

Here are two swatches on my arm. I tried to make them equal, but you can see that the left line is a little less dark than the right one. This eyeliner is not super black in a swatch, but I could not see any difference when I applied it to my eyes.

I rubbed the left swatch with my finger to see how it smudges.

Unfortunately, you can see that it is wearing off.

Next, I splashed the swatches with water.

You can see that it washed off.  Unfortunately, this eyeliner isn't waterproof.

Pros:

• When I use it on my eyes, it lasts fairly well
• The applicator is like a felt tip pen and is easy to use. I can make the line as thin or as thick as I want

Cons:

• Does not always apply evenly
• In the test that I did above, you can see that it wears off

Would I repurchase?  I have, but there are so many good products in the drugstore now that I want to try other products first!

What is your favorite liquid liner from the drugstore?  Please let me know because I'm interested in trying them out!
