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

stila Stay All Day® Smudge & Set is a waterproof, gel-based retractable eyeliner that glides on, sets in seconds, and delivers up to 12 hours of fade- and budge-resistant color for tightlining, waterline use, and smoky looks.

This versatile gel pencil blends the defining precision of a liner with the blendable texture of a cream shadow. Designed for easy application—whether you want a crisp cat-eye, a softened smudged line, or added depth on the waterline—this formula gives intense color payoff in a single swipe and locks into place so your look lasts through busy days and nights.

How does this gel pencil perform for tightlining and the waterline?

The formula is waterline-safe and waterproof, so it can be used close to the lash line and on the inner rim without migrating. It glides smoothly for immediate pigment and then sets quickly to resist transfer, making it ideal for precise definition that endures.

• Waterline-safe, formulated to stay put without smearing into the eye.
• High-color payoff in one swipe reduces reapplication needs.
• Quick-setting gel that resists flaking, transferring, and fading.

Can I create both sharp liner looks and soft, smoky finishes?

Yes — the gel texture balances structure and blendability. Draw a crisp, retractable line for clean definition or smudge immediately with a fingertip or small brush to diffuse color into a sultry shadow; once set, the look remains intact.

• Retractable tip gives control for thin or bold strokes.
• Smudges easily before setting to create smoky gradients.
• Holds smudged or sharp styles for hours after setting.

How long will the liner last during daily wear and activity?

Expect up to 12 hours of continuous wear under normal conditions, with resistance to sweat and everyday fading. The formula sets quickly and is engineered to minimize reapplication, keeping eyes defined throughout the day.

• Up to 12-hour wear claims with sustained color intensity.
• Fade- and sweat-resistant for long events or busy schedules.
• Waterproof performance helps maintain looks in humid conditions.

Is the pencil easy to use and maintain?

The retractable design eliminates sharpening and lets you control the tip width for lining or shading. Apply directly along the lash line, blend when desired, then secure the cap to preserve texture and prevent drying.

• Retractable format for precise application without a sharpener.
• Works with fingers, smudger tools, or brushes for varied finishes.
• Cap closure recommended to keep the gel creamy and ready to use.
