stila gel eyeliner Smudge & Set retractable waterproof pencil — 12‑Hour long-wear, creamy glide for tightlining & smoky eyes

stila Stay All Day® Smudge & Set is a retractable, gel-based waterproof eyeliner pencil that glides on smoothly, can be smudged or set, and delivers up to 12 hours of no-budge color.

If you want a single eyeliner that can line tight to the lashes, define the waterline, or be blended into a smoky shadow, this gel pencil is designed to offer that versatility. The creamy formula deposits rich pigment with one swipe, gives you time to smudge or blend, then sets quickly into a fade- and sweat-resistant finish. Its retractable design makes it convenient for on-the-go touchups without a separate sharpener.

How does this liner deliver long wear without creasing or smudging?

The formula is gel-based and waterproof, engineered to set shortly after application to resist transfer and fading. That quick-setting quality keeps color in place through humidity, oil, and normal wear, while still allowing a brief window to blend for softer looks.

• Waterproof gel composition for water- and sweat-resistance
• Sets in seconds to reduce transfer and smudging
• High pigment payoff minimizes the need for layering
• Designed to last up to 12 hours under regular conditions

Can I use it on the waterline and for tightlining safely?

Yes — the pencil is formulated for use along the waterline and tightline, providing intense color without pulling or tugging. Because it glides smoothly, you can define the lash base precisely for a fuller-lashed look without excessive pressure.

• Creamy glide for precise tightlining and waterline application
• Retractable tip offers controlled, close-to-lash application
• Rich pigments deliver immediate definition in a single pass

How do I create a smoky eye or smudged look with this pencil?

The pencil gives you a short working time to smudge before the color sets. Apply where you want intensity, then soften edges using a fingertip or a smudging brush; once the formula sets, it locks into place for a lasting smoky finish.

• Draw or dot along lash line, then blend outward for smoked effect
• Use a stiff smudging brush for defined smokiness or fingers for softer diffusion
• Layer lightly to build depth without patchiness

What makes the retractable design practical for daily use?

The twist-up mechanism eliminates the need for sharpening and keeps the tip consistently usable for precise lines. It’s travel-friendly and reduces product waste since you can reveal only the amount you need.

• Retractable format for clean, travel-ready storage
• No sharpener required—twist to expose more product
• Compact cap protects the tip and prevents drying out
