This stuff really irritates my eyes. I have the pencil with the smudger on the end and yeah, I can't even use it because my eyes wont quit running

So i've been in a hunt for a perfect liquid eyeliner. I use gel eyeliners but i find them very time consuming so thought to invest in a liquid eyeliner, which are easier to apply and gives it a more clean look. So i got the color stay liquid eyeliner by revlon as well as their eyeliner pen. The pen was just not good, it dried out immediately when i tried it the first day. The liquid liner though applied very nicely and evenly. But then when i tried to go over my liner that i've just applied, it started to actually remove the black liner. I don't know if i'm making any sense but it started to be pachy and it just completely removed the liner that i had on instead of actually building it up. I found that really weird but i still gave it a second try thinking that maybe i need to dip in the tube again to get the ink liner.
But even after that, it was still not working. No intense black, dries out like crazy same as the pen. At first when you apply it, it feels really nice but when you try to go over it, it simply ruin everything. The brush it really thin and easy to apply but there's something about the formula that just didn't work

I used to love this product but I recently repurchased it and was terribly disappointed. There seamed to be a hard waxy film on the outside of the actual liner witch made it very difficult to actually get to the product. Very Disappointed!

My ideal eyeliner is a jet-black matte pencil liner and I decided to give Revlon's ColorStay Eye Liner a try, despite being a bit outside my preferred price range for eyeliners.

More or less, it's nice. It goes on very smooth and bold, isn't smudgy, and of course the retractable tip is great. However, "ColorStay" is a pretty vague use of terms. Does the color stay? Yes. Does the quality and sharpness stay? NO. I've found that this pencil will smudge very easily on both lids after a few short hours - three hours after I apply it, it's smeared all over my lower eyelids and I look like a raccoon. And of course it gets messy in the corners of the eyes even faster (then again, I have yet to find an eyeliner that won't do that).

So if you count the smudged half-faded remnants of your original lines as the color staying on, then this product lives up to its name. But expect to touch up your eyeliner every couple hours if you buy this. I've used liners for half the price of this one that lasted the same amount of time or longer before getting messy. I believe Revlon makes a plain old wooden eyeliner pencil for around $3 that works just as well as this thing, so if your local cosmetics provider has these available, I strongly recommend getting two of those pencils instead of one ColorStay pencil.

It's by no means an awful product - it just doesn't last as long as it claims to.
