Clinique Gel Tech Eyeliner Pencil — Deep Denim, Waterproof Gel Formula, Smudge-Resistant

Clinique High Impact Gel Tech Eyeliner Pencil in Deep Denim is a creamy, ultra-pigmented gel pencil designed to glide on smoothly, resist smudging and stay comfortable on the waterline.

This gel eyeliner pairs a silky, glide-on texture with long-lasting performance and an ophthalmologist-tested formula built for sensitive eyes. It delivers intense color payoff in a single swipe, offers up to 24 hours of wear on lids and 12 hours on the waterline, and is safe for contact lens wearers and those prone to eye sensitivity. The pencil is fragrance-free, allergy tested, and engineered to be tug-free for easy application.

How does the Deep Denim shade perform for everyday or evening looks?

Deep Denim gives the depth of a dark navy with strong color payoff that reads nearly black in low light and shows subtle blue tones up close. It works as a softer alternative to pure black for daytime wear but builds beautifully for smoky or defined evening looks.

• Ultra-pigmented gel delivers one-swipe intensity.
• Deep navy hue adds dimension without harsh contrast.
• Blendable on lids; defines waterline for richer color.
• Pairs well with metallic shadows or neutral palettes.

How long will the pencil last on lids and the waterline?

The formula is created to stay put: expect up to 24 hours of wear on the eyelid and up to 12 hours on the waterline under normal conditions. Its waterproof, transfer-proof, and smudge-resistant properties mean it resists rubbing, humidity, and daily wear.

• 24-hour wear time on lids for all-day definition.
• 12-hour waterline wear designed for comfortable longevity.
• Waterproof and transfer-proof to minimize touch-ups.
• Smudge- and budge-resistant finish for active days.

Is this eyeliner suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers?

Yes — the gel pencil is ophthalmologist tested, allergy tested, and formulated without fragrance to reduce the risk of irritation. Clinique’s Eye Safety Promise aims to make the product gentle enough for use on the waterline and for people who wear contacts.

• Ophthalmologist tested for eye safety reassurance.
• Allergy tested and 100% fragrance-free to limit triggers.
• Designed for sensitive eyes and contact lens compatibility.
• Tug-free application helps avoid eye strain during use.

How do you apply and maintain the gel pencil for best results?

Apply directly to the lash line or waterline with a steady hand, using short strokes for precision. For a softer look, lightly smudge the line with a brush before the formula sets; for maximum longevity, allow it to dry and avoid rubbing the eye area.

• Use short, controlled strokes along lashes for definition.
• Smudge immediately if a softer edge is desired; otherwise let set.
• Touch-ups are minimal thanks to waterproof, transfer-proof wear.
• Sharpen as needed for a precise point—store capped to retain texture.

Who is this for: Clinique High Impact Gel Tech Eyeliner in Deep Denim is ideal for people who want a hardworking, richly colored pencil that performs reliably all day and night. It’s particularly suited to those with sensitive eyes or contact lens wearers seeking a tug-free, ophthalmologist-tested option. Whether you prefer a subtle daytime navy or a smoldering night look, this gel formula provides versatile, long-wearing color in an easy-to-apply pencil.
