stila Stay All Day Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Liner — Retractable Black, 12‑Hour Wear & Waterline-Safe

stila Stay All Day® Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Liner is a retractable gel-pencil that delivers instant, smudgeable color and locks into a fade-proof line that lasts up to 12 hours.

This gel-based eyeliner is formulated to glide smoothly for lining, tightlining, waterline definition, and diffused smoky looks. It gives strong pigmentation in a single swipe, allows a short working time to smudge or blend, then sets quickly into a waterproof, sweat-resistant finish. Packaged as a retractable pencil for easy application, it’s designed for both precise lines and soft, blended effects.

How does this liner perform for tightlining and the waterline?

The formula is waterline-safe and engineered to stay put without transferring or migrating into the inner eye area. It deposits rich pigment in one pass and dries down fast enough to prevent smudging after you finish, while still being gentle for close-to-lash application.

• Waterline-safe gel formulation built for tightlining
• Single-swipe color payoff for quick definition
• Fast-setting, water- and sweat-resistant finish
• Retractable tip for steady, controlled application

Can I create both a sharp wing and a smoky, smudged look?

Yes — the pencil is versatile: use the tip for crisp lines or smudge the stroke with a fingertip or brush before it sets to blur into a shadow. The texture stays creamy long enough to blend, then anchors into a no-budge finish so your smoky eye holds its shape all day.

• Use the point for precise winged lines
• Blend with a brush or finger for a smoky effect
• Holds smudged looks once set—minimal touch-ups needed
• Available in multiple shades to layer or complement eye color

How long does the wear last and is it fade-proof?

This eyeliner is formulated to resist fading and transfer for up to 12 hours of continuous wear under normal conditions. It resists sweat and humidity and sets quickly so color remains vibrant from morning through evening.

• Up to 12-hour wear with fade-resistant pigments
• Waterproof, sweat-proof, and transfer-resistant finish
• Immediate intense color in one swipe—no multiple passes
• Quick setting time reduces midday smudging

How easy is it to use and maintain this retractable pencil?

The retractable design eliminates sharpening and keeps the tip ready for precise application on the go. Store with the cap closed to preserve the pencil’s texture; for smudged looks, blend before the color sets, and close the cap tightly after use to prevent drying out.

• Retractable mechanism—no sharpener required
• Cap secures pigment and prevents drying
• Suitable for quick touch-ups and travel-friendly routines
• Simple application: trace along lashline or waterline

Who is this for: This gel liner suits makeup users who want a single pencil that can deliver both precise definition and seamless smudges—ideal for busy mornings, long days, special events, or mastering smoky eyes. It’s a good fit for beginners and experienced artists who need reliable, long-wearing color that stays put on the lash line, waterline, and crease area without frequent reapplication.
