Revlon ColorStay Velour and Glaze Sticks Look and Review


Hi AMW Friends!

I was inspired to create this look to wish 2021 a better year!  I mean you see polka-dots and red lipstick right?

Revlon recently released a new shadow sticks called Revlon Velour Stick and Glaze Stick.  These are eyeshadow sticks in 2 textures - Smooth Matte and Silky Shimmer.

To be honest, I don’t have high hopes on these as our humid weather calls for disaster when it comes to cream shadow formulation.  But I was super wrong!  Please scroll further down to watch my quick video on how it STAYS!  REALLY STAYS.

Housed in a retractable pencil with sponge tip on the other side for blending, I find these to be packaged really effectively.  I like it that the pencil container is the exact shade as the eyeshadow stick making it easy to find the shades you need during application.

The only thing I don’t dislike is the fact that when you keep on using these, the sharp, pointed tip will turn dull so I am not sure how to achieve defined application on latter part.  

These shadow sticks are extremely creamy so you have to be careful not to over twist as I broke one.  Keep them in cool, dry place as there will be possibility of meltdown.

Now let’s talk about pigmentation, both Velour and Glaze sticks are highly pigmented.  What you see is what you get and you get a cool color in just a single swipe!  Watch my video if you don’t believe it!  

As for application, I was surprised how easy it is to work with the sponge tip but I prefer using my fingers for extrea warms since I have dry lids.  Also, I like the combination of Velour and Glaze sticks as it gave an instant pop on my eyes!  Good news?  They set like a powder and even better!  They STAY until makeup removal without smudging or smearing and best of all, I don’t need to set these with eyeshadow powders!  I am seriously IMPRESSED.



Do I reommend these?

DEFINITELY!  My favorite shades are actually the colored ones!  They gave an instant pop without overpowering my entire look!

Revlon ColorStay Velour and Glaze Sticks will be available at Revlon counters nationwide also on Lazada.

Stay happy!

  1. WOW I expected them to smudge too, but I'm so amazed. Nung kabataan ko naalala ko parang may eyeshadow sticks si Fashion 21 or Maybelline, so nostalgic. 😁
