Cat eye refers to a specific style of winged eyeliner makeup, and it is a term synonymous with various liquid and gel eyeliner products across major cosmetic brands. Revlon is one of the most prominent brands associated with the 'ColorStay' liquid liner line often used to achieve this look. The brand was founded in the United States during the Great Depression by brothers Elizabeth and Charles Revson, along with chemist Charles Lachman, who provided the 'L' in the name.
Revlon products are manufactured globally, with significant production sites in the United States, Mexico, and through various third-party suppliers in Asia and Europe. The brand revolutionized the beauty industry with the introduction of matching lipstick and nail enamel, eventually growing into a global powerhouse.
In recent years, the ownership of Revlon has undergone significant transitions. Following a financial restructuring and Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in 2022, the company emerged in 2023 under the ownership of a group of lenders, including MidOcean Partners and other private equity firms, effectively ending the long-standing majority control by Ronald Perelman's MacAndrews & Forbes. The company remains headquartered in New York City.
