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

stila Stay All Day® Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Liner is a retractable gel pencil that glides on smoothly, can be smudged into shadow, and locks in place for up to 12 hours. This versatile gel liner blends the precision of a pencil with the creamy texture of a gel so you can draw sharp lines, tightline lashes, define the waterline, or diffuse color into a smoky wash. The formula sets quickly and resists water, sweat, and fading so your eye look stays true from morning to night without constant touchups.

How does this liner perform during an active day?

The Smudge & Set liner is formulated to set fast and maintain intense color for extended wear. Once it dries, it resists smearing and transfer, keeping your eyeliner crisp or your blended shadow soft depending on the look you choose.

• Up to 12 hours of continuous wear
• Waterproof and sweat-resistant finish
• Quick-setting — minimal smudging after initial blend time
• High pigment payoff in one smooth pass

Can I use it on the waterline and for tightlining?

Yes — the gel formulation is safe for the waterline and ideal for tightlining because it deposits rich pigment without tugging. Its creamy texture makes application gentle on delicate lash roots, while the long-wear formula helps maintain definition all day.

• Soft glide suited for sensitive areas
• Buildable opacity for subtle or dramatic effect
• Does not flake or crumble into the eye
• Retractable design for clean, precise application

How quickly can I create a smoky eye with it?

The pencil gives you a forgiving window to smudge and blend before it sets, making smoky looks fast and repeatable. Use your fingertip or a small brush to diffuse the line outward; once the product sets, the smoky finish stays in place without blurring or fading.

• Blendable for 10–20 seconds before setting
• Smudge into lid or lower lash for shadowed depth
• Pairs well with powders and cream shadows
• Ideal for quick daytime smokey or intensified evening looks

What makes this pencil easy to use and maintain?

The retractable design removes the need for sharpening and keeps the tip ready for clean, controlled lines. A compact cap protects the tip between uses; twist-and-apply control helps you manage product amount and avoid breakage.

• Retractable mechanism — no sharpener needed
• Cap secures pigment and prevents drying out
• Smooth, skip-free application from the first stroke
• Compact, travel-friendly pencil shape

Who is this for? If you want a single eyeliner that can define the lash line, deepen the waterline, and be smudged into shadow without constant retouching, this gel pencil is for you. It suits makeup-lovers who need long-lasting wear through workdays, workouts, or evenings out; those who prefer retractable convenience; and anyone who likes buildable, high-impact color with water-resistant durability.
