ColorStay Lip Liner Revlon 680 Blush

This use to be my holy grail lip liner. It has the best retractable pencil. I like the slim pencil and I personally find it quite lovely to see the color on the bottom. You can see without having to try to read the tiny print. I loved the old formula. It was long lasting and did not dry out the lips. It made every lippie look fantastic. Now the formula changed and this disappears too quickly and does not represent the ColorStay label.

Really good liners for if you want something that will last all day without smudging or transferring. Are super creamy and pigmented. I don't need to really work it into the skin to get color payoff. These outlast a lot of the lipsticks I wear lol. I have two shades currently, Red Nude. Red, is the perfect red liner to go with bright red lipsticks or to wear underneath a gloss. Looks stunning with blue toned reds, but will also look good with warmer reds. Nude, is a pinky brown nude. Is a shade that works well with a lot of different nude lipsticks. I pair it with beige nudes, pink nudes and brown nudes. It literally looks beautiful with every nude lipstick I own.

I like to use liner as an overall color and smudge it out with my fingers. This one is NOT going to let you do that which is a pro and con all on its own. It's very dry and hard so it tends to not apply color evenly if you're using it this way. And there is no smudging it out at all. I find that it is pretty long wear but no more so than cheaper brands. Even on sale I wouldn't buy this again if another brand was available.

For this bold lip look, I’m wearing Revlon’s Color Stay Liner in shade Wine topped with Estée Lauder’s Lip Shine from my Pure Color Envy Set in shade Wicked Gleam. First, I lined my lips with the liner and then used the liner to lightly shade them before topping with the lip shine. I usually select more neutral colors for my lips, but I was happy with this liner gloss combo! Recommend if you like a bolder look.

I love this lip liner. After buying a couple shades, and trying them out with my liquid lipsticks or even using a nude or soft pink and then a clear glass on top. I realized that these are incredible.  I used to always spend a fortune on Morphe, Smashbox, or Mac. But then I found these little beauties at a quarter of the price at work just as well and stay in place for just as long.. I absolutely love them and I think I might have them in every colour at this point.
