HATE THE NEW FORMULA CHANGE
"PLEASE revert back to the old formula!!! I buy the revlon color stay long wear lip liner in shade raisin because it’s my everyday lip color. But the last time I bought it, I thought I got a defected one because when I applied it kept on breaking off and looked darker than usual. It would break off so much during application, that I just gave up and threw it away. So today I bought another one, thinking that the other one was just defected. And of course the same thing happens when I apply this new one. Here I find out that you guys changed the formula for whatever reason. The old formula was perfect! Please change it back or else I have to use a different brand because this one is not it anymore."

Why change a good thing new formula is garbage
"Lol color stay user for many years. I am beyond disappointed. At first I thought I received a bad one then bought two more and the same thing. Very soft breaks off. Can't get a straight line if you tries. Just smears and breaks off. Huge color. Stay fan. Not anymore. Now I have to go find something else. I spend hundreds of dollars on ColorState products. Just liner is the worst I've ever used in my life. Why change a good thing. So disappointed"

New formula is trash
"I have been a Revlon Color. Stay customer for more years than I can count. Loved everything about the foundation powder and especially the lip liner. It's my go-to for everything and I have highly recommended it to everyone here. I bought it recently several times different shades and it's so soft. It crumbles and just smears everywhere as you're trying to apply it. The new formula is complete garbage. Why change a good thing now I have to move on to something else. Very disappointed. I've been using for years and now it's unusable. Very disheartening"

New lip liner formula
"Please change back to old formula. New formula is garbage, cracks, and is horrible. I use Raisin my everyday color. I will not be buying this anymore! Waste of money and is not good at all! Now to find a replacement! Why change a good thing to worse."

Not satisfied at all with the new formula!
"I kept buying new lip liners because I thought I was getting defective ones because they were so mushy and didn’t go on smoothly or stay the way the old formula worked. Please go back to the old formula because it was so, so much better! I have wasted a lot of money trying to buy the lip liner from different places hoping to get a good one again. I love the mauve shade, but not the new formula!"

New formula is GARBAGE
"This product has been a staple for at least 15 years. The new formulation is SO BAD that it literally can't be used. It is GREASY, comes off in HUGE CLUMPS, is incapable of creating a line, SMEARS everywhere, clogs in the applicator. I will find another brand new. Absolute trash. Shame on you, Revlon."

Why change perfection?
"Purchased 4 of my usual stockpile of 660 mauve. Opened a new one and put on like usual and the COLOR HAS CHANGED along with the formula!! It has more brown? And darker tones in it. I will return these to the store. It was the one I used under all my lipsticks. Mauve 660 r. i. p. now I have to find another brand dupe? Ugh. It was perfect and finding another one with that perfect color and formula will not be easy."

New lip liner is TRASH
"This lip liner has been my only lip liner for years, now I can't use it at all. It's garbage and it's just been since the last couple of months because before summer I never had a problem. I've seen the other reviews complaining about the exact same thing that I'm going through. I've used this exact liner for almost 10 years and NEVER had a problem until a few months ago. Also I've noticed that the liners that are all one color when you take off the cap are good, it's the ones that are black under the cap that are bad. Now it cracks after an hour of being on, it's so soft it's impossible to get an accurate line and it smudges by the crease of your mouth. It's NOTHING like it used to be. I called Revlon today and they said they haven't changed the formula since around 2020 or 2021. And I just noticed the change a few months ago. Revlon.....please look into this, something is off and you're going to lose a ton of customers. I want my lip liner back and from what I read.....so does everyone else. Please fix this."

Lip liner gone
"I've been using colorstay longwear lip liner in Plum for almost 10 years and I thought something was wrong with the one I had so I kept buying more thinking I got a bad batch, I called Revlon to ask them if they changed the formula and they said they changed it in 2020 or 2021 but the 8 that I've bought just in the past couple of months have not been the same that I've been using for years. They worked perfectly before, so much that I would get compliments every single day. Now when I put it on it's extremely soft, can't get a straight line, when you finally get it on, it cracks less than an hour after wearing, it smudges by the creases of your mouth and it literally peels off. It's the biggest waste of money and time. I've been a loyal customer for years and years and now I have to find a different brand, there's absolutely no way to use this lip liner anymore and it breaks my heart. Corporate greed. Why change the formula?? There's absolutely no good reason for the change other than CORPORATE GREED. Completely disappointed. Sad."

Long time loyalty-very disappointed in new product
"I have been with Revlon forever and I am so disappointed in the Colorstay Longwear Lip Liner, Sienna. It has always been my go-to, and the last few liners that I have purchased looked darker in color and were either dry and caked or so soft it broke, smudged or smeared around my mouth. The old formula never failed. Was this a financial decision or a harmful chemical situation? Please go back to the old formula! 😞"
