stila Stay All Day Gel Eyeliner Smudge & Set — Waterproof Retractable, 12-Hour Long-Wear

stila Stay All Day® Smudge & Set is a waterproof, retractable gel eyeliner pencil that glides on smoothly, smudges for a smoky effect, then sets for up to 12 hours of fade- and budge-resistant wear.

This multiuse gel liner combines the precision of a pencil with the blendability of a cream—ideal for tightlining, waterline definition, or building smoky, smudged looks. The formula delivers rich, immediate pigment in one swipe, sets quickly so color stays put through humidity and sweat, and works wet or dry for versatile finishes.

How does this liner perform for tightlining and the waterline?

The gel texture is soft enough for close-to-lash application yet formulated to resist running or smudging once it sets. It deposits intense color with minimal tugging, so you can define the upper and lower inner rims with control.

• Waterproof and waterline-safe for secure definition
• High pigment payoff in a single pass
• Retractable tip offers precise control without sharpening
• Sets quickly to resist transfer and fading

Can I create a smoky or smudged eye with this pencil?

Yes—before the formula sets, the gel blends easily into a shadow-like finish with a brush or fingertip. Once settled, the color becomes long-wearing and won’t migrate, so you get a crafted smoky effect that lasts through the day.

• Blendable window before it sets lets you smudge or soften edges
• Use a smudger brush or finger to diffuse for a smoky look
• Hold its shape after setting for all-day definition
• Works as an eyeshadow base to deepen lid color

How long does the wear actually last and how does it hold up?

Formulated to resist sweat, humidity, and natural oils, this pencil claims up to 12 hours of continuous wear. The set-in-seconds technology reduces transfer and fading, so your eye look stays fresh from morning to night.

• Up to 12 hours of wear under normal conditions
• Fade-proof and sweat-resistant finish
• Dries down quickly to minimize smearing
• Maintains color intensity throughout the day

How do I apply and maintain the retractable gel pencil?

Trace along your lash line for definition, use short strokes for precision, or apply to the waterline for depth; blend with a brush before the product sets if you want a softer effect. Keep the cap closed when not in use and store upright to protect the tip for consistent application.

• Retractable design—no sharpening needed
• Short strokes for control; smudge before setting for softness
• Close cap tightly to prevent drying out
• Use as liner, field for tightlining, or smudged shadow

Who is this for: Makeup lovers who want a single, multitasking eyeliner that delivers crisp lines and blendable smoke with staying power. It’s suited for anyone seeking waterproof, high-pigment definition—perfect for busy mornings, long days, or nights out—especially users who prefer a retractable, easy-glide pencil that won’t require constant touch-ups.
