The Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner in Black Brown excels in delivering consistent performance for everyday wear and special occasions alike. Its 'Colorstay' formulation means it resists smudging and fading, making it a reliable choice for long days or humid conditions. The Black Brown shade offers a nuanced look that defines the eyes without the harshness of a true black, making it perfect for natural daytime looks or a smoky evening aesthetic.
Prepare Your Lids: For best results, ensure your eyelids are clean, dry, and primed if desired. This creates a smooth canvas for application.
Start at the Inner Corner: Gently pull your eyelid taut and start drawing a thin line from the inner corner of your upper lash line, working outwards.
Build Gradually: For a bolder look, gradually thicken the line by adding more strokes. You can create a classic wing by extending the line slightly past your outer corner and connecting it back.
Lower Lash Line (Optional): For added definition, apply a thin line to your lower lash line. For a softer look, apply a few dots between your lower lashes and gently smudge.
Set if Desired: While long-lasting, a light dusting of translucent powder or a matching eyeshadow can further enhance its longevity, especially if you have oily eyelids.
Natural Definition: Apply a thin line as close to the upper lash line as possible.
Subtle Smoky Eye: Apply a slightly thicker line and immediately smudge with a brush or cotton swab before it sets.
Defined Wing: Use the pencil's precise tip to create a crisp, elongated wing.
This eyeliner performs well in various environments, maintaining its integrity through active days. Its intense color ensures your eyes stand out with clarity and depth.
Initial Setup
Your Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner is ready to use straight out of the packaging. Simply remove the cap.
If it's a traditional pencil, ensure it's sharpened to a fine point for initial use to achieve precise lines.
Compatibility
This eyeliner is designed to be compatible with most eye makeup products, including eyeshadows, mascaras, and primers.
For optimal long wear, consider using an eye primer before application, especially if you have oily eyelids.
Pairs well with Revlon's range of mascaras and eyeshadows for a complete eye look.
Care and Maintenance
Always Replace the Cap: To prevent the product from drying out and to maintain its creamy texture, always replace the cap tightly after each use.
Sharpen Regularly (Pencil): If your eyeliner is a sharpenable pencil, use a cosmetic sharpener regularly to maintain a fine point. This ensures smooth application and prevents dullness. Clean your sharpener periodically.
Storage: Store the eyeliner in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can affect its consistency.
Hygiene: Avoid sharing your eyeliner with others to prevent the transfer of bacteria. If you experience an eye infection, discontinue use.
Removal: Due to its long-lasting formula, remove with a dedicated oil-based or bi-phase eye makeup remover. Gently wipe until all traces of eyeliner are gone.
