Ingredients and why they matter
- Aqua (Water) — provides a base that supports smooth application and formula stability.
- Acrylates/Octylacrylamide Copolymer — forms a durable film on the eyelid to prevent transfer.
- Glycerin — a humectant that helps keep the product glide smoothly while maintaining moisture on the skin.
- Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate — a gentle surfactant that aids in even distribution and cleansing compatibility.
- Disodium EDTA — stabilizes the formula to maintain performance during use.
- Candelilla Cera, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax — provide structure to the liner and help it set quickly on the lash line.
- Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) — offers potential conditioning benefits and skin-friendly properties.
- Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Sodium Methylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben — preservatives that help maintain product safety and longevity.
- May Contain Iron Oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499), Black 2 (CI 77266) — colorants that deliver the deep 252 Black Brown shade.
Who this is for and usage tips
- Ideal for anyone seeking a precise, long-wearing liner that resists smudging throughout the day or night.
- Great for creating a sharp cat-eye or a softer, everyday line depending on technique.
- Best used on clean skin with a light touch for best control; allow the line to set to reduce transfer.
- Store in a cool, dry place and keep the cap tightly closed to preserve formula integrity.
Keep in mind the safety warnings: follow the included product instructions, and do not use if you have eye injury, irritation, or infection. Do not share applicator to prevent contamination. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a professional.
How to use Revlon ColorStay Liquid Eyeliner 252 Black Brown
A simple, precise routine to achieve a clean line or a dramatic wing using the 2.5 mL liquid formula.
-
Prepare
Wash and dry your eye area, or apply eye makeup primer if desired to help with longevity.
-
Line with precision
With a light touch, draw along the upper lash line from the inner corner outward to create a thin, even line.
-
Build as needed
For a thicker line, gradually thicken the stroke with short, controlled segments rather than a single long line.
-
Create a wing (optional)
Extend the line slightly beyond the outer corner to form a wing, then connect back toward the lid for a clean finish.
-
Set and finish
Allow the liner to set to minimize transfer and maintain color integrity throughout wear. Close cap tightly after use.
