Revlon Crème Eyeshadow, ColorStay 24 Hour Eye Makeup, Highly Pigmented Cream Formula in Blendable Matte & Shimmer Finishes, 710 Caramel, 0.18 Oz

Love this eyeshadow. Perfect base to keep eyeshadow on all day with no fading or creasing. Also gorgeous bronze/copper sparkly color. Goes on smooth and stays on. I love it!

As a makeup consumer who has had experience at a cosmetics counter, and who does the necessary research on products, I have some tips for those who have struggled.I recommend thoroughly reading product listings, as well as the website of the manufacturer, if possible. In the case of these beautiful eye colors, I have found that only three of them are matte; Espresso (a matte taupe), Chocolate (a matte warm brown), and Tuxedo (a matte black). Espresso is what I currently use in my crease and outer triangle (V).The rest of the colors are shimmery, but not really over the top like glitter. This is the type of shimmer I like. These colors look best on the mobile eye lid (or under the brow, or as an inner corner highlight). As a person who has blue eyes, I enjoy Caramel on the mobile eye lid. I am ordering Black Currant, and will also try Honey. All the colors are easy to apply with the included brush, or with a finger. I use the brush, since it is easy for me to get the color just where I want it, and blend it well.As for the packaging, it may seem difficult to someone who has never used these shadows before. Start with first removing the shrink wrap. The top is glass and shows the color and number. The bottom is black, and is actually the lid, which contains the brush (you slide it in and out). Flip it over, and grasp the black lid with one hand, and grasp the glass part with the other hand. Twist the black lid to the left to open. The first time may require a bit more strength to twist open. You could try using a rubber jar opener. After the first opening, it is much easier.I find that these colors are very easy to use, and make my routine go faster. They can be used as a one and done color, if you wish. Blend the colors right away one at a time, as they set up and last all day. I use a primer under eye colors and liner, and always recommend that.I hope you enjoy these, as I do!

Revlon, I love your products, but nowhere does it tell the user that you have to use a screwdriver to open it! You can do better!

This is the best shadow I have ever used, and I have used plenty. I highly recommend this product.

First, I'm turning 70 in 2021. The eye makeup I loved at thirty or even sixty isn't what looks good on me now, so I have had to adjust.I wanted a SUBTLE kind of smoky eye, but one that also brightens the center a bit. I also wanted a shadow I could wear alone for a VERY subtle brightening effect. That's where Caramel, Espresso and Creme Brulee come in that I can wear alone or together.THE CARAMEL! -This is my fav for just one I can lightly pat or brush along eyelids into crease. I usually do use the Creme Brulee just under brow, but if I can just have one in my bag, it's THIS one. Even on my 70 yr old lids, a little of this goes a long way and isn't overdone.THE ESPRESSO:COLOR - I like it almost has a translucency, it's not exactly matte, but a very light shimmer, satin. I still like browns, but they have to be the right shade and not heavy looking. IF YOU are looking for an in your face dark brown, not it. I like it to layer, to build on the upper outer ends of my lids, the crease, but again, SUBTLE.LAYER IT! - it was so subtle, I grabbed my powder eyeshadow palette and and added a darker brown in the crease, LAYERS GREAT. You can almost use like a primer. I have put darker powders, lighter powders over it and it helps lock them in.CONSISTENCY - how to describe, it's like a creamy powder or a powdery creme? It's definitely creamy, love how it applies even with my fingers, but then feels soft, not at all greasy or oily like a creme can. EXCELLENT.ALONE? - SOME may be able to just smooth this over lids and go, but at almost seventy, I will get a lighter shade for the top of my lid and just under my brow. This one alone won't do it without some brightening - FOR ME. For you, if you have younger looking lids, could be used alone for a subtle light brown slight shimmer.PRICE - OK I don't know HOW one could beat the price. I have worn the SPECTRUM of eyeshadows from high and low end and this acts and looks more high end, thus more expensive.THE CREME BRULEE:COLOR: EXACTLY what I wanted!I read where some said too glittery, I didn't find that at all. It has a light sheen, transparent.I lightly put it on with my fingers. I make sure my fingers are very clean and dry, and just add it on with my fingers after first putting a touch of Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Eraser multi use corrector (LOVE this stuff, but I think any concealer you could use on eyes would work). Again, VERY subtle. I add to whole upper eye, under brow and just a touch in inner corner of eye.TEXTURE: Again, the texture is great. GLIDES ON, STAYS ON and I have no probs with it creasing. NOW it won't MAKE your creases go away, but it doesn't SETTLE into them.BOTTOMLINE: At this price, I got mine on sale for about five bucks and change, check out some youtube vids with people working with Revlon Colorstay creme eyeshadow shades, and if you like what you see, get one or two. Won't break the bank. I shall be getting at least one or two more.

Mrs K here: I've been looking for this one my whole life. This is a soft, cool, medium brown that wears all day, can be applied with a brush or fingers, is matte but not flat, and doesn't oxudize to red or orange on my fair, cool skin. Think about Keira Knightly in Pride and Prejudice - it's that effect. It's absolutely buildable if you want a smoky eye, but I love it for a light wash on the lid; it's understated elegance and absolutely perfect.

The color is pretty, but not very pigmented. it is more like a sheer shimmer than any true opacity. A thin layer does look very pretty and on your lid last all day. It definitely still creases in the crease of my eye, but I do tend to be a little more oily. A little goes a long way, so the size of the pot is about the size of a half dollar. There’s a little brush built into the top of the cap that is helpful as well. Pretty color, just not very bright and very shimmery.
