REVLON ColorStay Pencil Waterproof Eyeliner, 201 Black, with Sharpener

For eye makeup that needs to stay defined through the day, REVLON ColorStay Pencil Waterproof Eyeliner pairs rich black color with a water-resistant, smudge-resistant formula.

The pencil glides on for a defined line, whether you prefer a subtle look or more dramatic definition.

A built-in sharpener and smudger give you practical tools for shaping and blending the line as you apply it.

What stands out

Shade 201 Black provides an intense color for outlining the eyes, while the pencil format makes it easy to control the line. The formula is described as waterproof, transfer-proof, smudge-proof, and fade-proof, with wear of up to 24 hours. That long-wear focus is useful for days when you want your eye look to remain in place without frequent touch-ups.

The included sharpener helps maintain a pointed tip for more precise definition. For a softer effect, use the smudger to blend the line, for a more pronounced look, apply the pencil for stronger definition. This makes the pencil adaptable to different makeup routines, from a restrained everyday line to a more dramatic finish.

What to know

This is a 0.01 oz pencil in 201 Black. Revlon describes it as ophthalmologist tested and suitable for use on the waterline, giving you the option to define that area as part of your eye makeup. The broader ColorStay eyeliner range includes matte and shimmer finishes, while this listing identifies the shade as Black.

Buyer feedback often praises the color, smooth application, and lasting wear. Experiences with smudge resistance are mixed: some customers say it stays in place, while others report smudging. Some also mention that the tip can break or the pencil can feel dry, so individual experiences vary. These comments offer useful context alongside the product’s stated long-wear features.

Getting the most from it

Choose the pencil when you want the control of a liner that can be drawn on and blended, rather than a look built around a sharply defined liquid line. For a softer daytime effect, apply a fine line and blend it with the built-in smudger. For stronger definition, keep the line more precise with the sharpener. The same pencil can also be used on the waterline, as described by Revlon, for a more defined eye look.

The built-in tools make it practical to keep the pencil in a makeup bag or at a vanity: you can refresh the point and soften the line without reaching for a separate sharpener or blending tool. Its black shade suits routines centered on classic, dark eye definition.

Should you buy it?

REVLON ColorStay Pencil Waterproof Eyeliner is a fitting choice if you want a black pencil liner with long-wear claims and tools for both precise application and blending. It serves people who switch between a subtle line and a more dramatic eye, and the stated waterline suitability adds another way to use it. For a daily makeup routine that calls for flexible black definition in a compact pencil format, the built-in sharpener and smudger are practical advantages.
