ILIA Eye Stylus Shadow Stick — Nectar matte peach-beige, waterproof cream shadow, 12‑hour wear

ILIA Eye Stylus Shadow Stick in Nectar is a matte peach-beige cream shadow pencil that delivers blendable, waterproof color that stays put up to 12 hours.

This retractable shadow stick combines the ease of a crayon with the pigment payoff of a cream shadow. The slanted, flat tip deposits even color for all-over washes while the narrow edge defines like a liner. Formulated without fragrance and tested by ophthalmologists, the formula is gentle on sensitive eyes and built to resist sweat, smudging, and creasing.

How long will Nectar stay wearable during a busy day?

Expect up to 12 hours of wear when applied to clean, oil-free lids; the waterproof, sweat-resistant formula is engineered to lock pigment in place without flaking. Its crease-resistant texture maintains a smooth finish on most skin types, though longevity is best on primed lids.

• Up to 12-hour advertised wear time
• Waterproof and sweatproof for humid conditions
• Crease-resistant texture for extended wear
• Best performance on primed or oil-controlled eyelids

How can I use the slanted tip to create different eye looks?

The slanted, flat surface is designed for quick washes of color, while the narrow edge creates precise lines and definition. Use it sheer for a soft daytime look, layered for richer color intensity, or smudged and blended for a lived-in smoky effect.

• Flat side: sweep across lids for an even wash
• Edge: draw close-to-the-lash liner or define outer corners
• Layer: build pigment in thin passes for depth without patchiness
• Blend with fingertip or brush for softer edges

Is this shadow stick suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers?

Yes — the formula is ophthalmologist-tested and crafted without fragrance, making it appropriate for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. Ingredients are chosen for a clean profile, and the texture is gentle enough for inner-corner highlighting as well as lid application.

• Ophthalmologist-tested for eye safety
• Fragrance-free and formulated for sensitive eyes
• Vegan and cruelty-free ingredient selection
• Suitable for use along the lash line and inner corners

What skincare benefits does the formula include?

The stick contains upcycled grape extract, a zero-waste antioxidant that helps smooth the appearance of fine lines on the lid area when used over time. While not a medical treatment, this antioxidant-rich addition supports healthier-looking skin and complements the color payoff.

• Upcycled grape extract provides antioxidant support
• Zero-waste ingredient choice aligns with sustainable practices
• Helps improve the appearance of fine lines around lids
• Combines skincare-adjacent benefits with makeup performance
