stila Stay All Day Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Liner — Black, Retractable 12‑Hour No‑Budge Formula

This versatile gel eyeliner glides on smoothly for precise lining, tightlining, waterline application and blended smoky looks. The creamy formula gives bold, single-swipe payoff and remains workable long enough to smudge or buff into shadow before it sets. Once set, the color resists sweat, water and fading so your eye makeup lasts through busy days and nights.

How quickly does the liner set and lock into place?

The gel texture stays creamy for easy application and blending, but it sets within seconds once left undisturbed. That fast-setting finish helps keep your liner from transferring or feathering during the day, while still allowing you to smudge intentionally right after application.

• Sets in seconds after application when not blended further.
• Workable window long enough to smudge or blend with a brush or fingertip.
• Once set, resists transfer, water, and sweat for up to 12 hours.

Can I use this pencil on my waterline and tightline safely?

Yes — the formulation is waterline-safe and designed for close-to-the-lash use. The soft, gel core allows precise tightlining and gentle waterline application without irritating, while delivering rich pigment in a single pass.

• Soft gel tip for delicate waterline application.
• High-pigment color lays down immediately for definition.
• Waterproof finish reduces smudging from tears and humidity.

How do I create both a sharp liner and a smoky, smudged look with one pencil?

This pencil is made for dual use: draw a clean line for definition or smudge it out for a smoky shadow. Apply a precise line along lashes and leave it to set for a long-wear look, or blend the still-creamy product with a smudger brush or fingertip before it dries for a diffused effect.

• For crisp lines: trace close to lashes and let the pencil set undisturbed.
• For smoky eyes: blend immediately with a smudging brush or fingertip, then allow to set.
• Retractable design makes on-the-go touchups simple and mess-free.

What shades and performance should I expect?

stila offers this gel liner in a range of richly pigmented shades that suit natural and bold looks. Each shade is formulated for intense payoff in a single swipe and to remain color-true throughout wear without visible fading.

• Immediate, opaque payoff in one stroke for quicker application.
• Fade-proof color that maintains intensity up to 12 hours.
• Available in classic blacks, browns and deeper hues for varied looks.

Who is this for: Makeup enthusiasts who want one reliable pencil that can double as a precise liner and a smudgeable shadow. Ideal for anyone who needs fast, long-lasting eye definition—performers, commuters, busy parents and travelers—plus makeup artists who appreciate a flexible tool that holds up under heat and movement.
