Milani Stay Put Eyeliner Pencil — Semi-Sweet 0.01 oz, Self-Sharpening with Built-In Smudger, Long-Wear

Milani Stay Put Eyeliner in Semi-Sweet is a self-sharpening, cruelty-free eye pencil with a built-in smudger that delivers rich, long-lasting color for precise lines or soft smoky looks.

Designed for everyday wear and flexible styling, this 0.01-ounce pencil glides on smoothly, resists sweat and humidity, and stays true through the day. The formula is highly pigmented and the pencil includes an integrated sharpener and a smudger tool so you can switch between crisp definition and blended drama without extra tools. Milani’s Stay Put line offers multiple shades to match any mood or makeup palette while keeping animal-friendly standards.

How does the self-sharpening design simplify application?

The built-in sharpener keeps the tip consistently fine for clean, controlled strokes, removing the need to carry a separate sharpener. That precision helps you create thin liners along the lash line or a bolder wing with fewer passes. It’s especially useful for touch-ups on the go.

• Integrated sharpener in the cap for a ready-to-use point
• Consistent tip prevents tugging and uneven lines
• Twist mechanism raises product smoothly for accurate control

Will this pencil give me both defined and smoky looks?

Yes — the pencil’s creamy, pigmented core draws sharp lines while the attached smudger easily softens and diffuses the color. Start with a precise application and then blend outward with the smudger to create lived-in, smoky finishes. The dual-function tool eliminates the need for separate brushes or q-tips.

• Built-in smudger for effortless blending and smoky effects
• High-pigment formula ensures even coverage whether blended or lined
• Smudger placement on the pencil makes transitions quick and tidy

How long does the color stay and is it resistant to smudging?

The formula is engineered for lasting wear that resists everyday sweat and minor humidity, so the color remains vibrant throughout the day. While it’s formulated to be long-wearing and smudge-resistant, finishing sprays and setting techniques can further extend longevity. For best results, allow a moment after application before touching the area.

• Sweat- and humidity-resistant pigments for extended wear
• Single-stroke payoff reduces the need to layer and smudge
• Works well with primers and setting products for longer hold

The shade range supports varied looks from natural definition to bold color accents.

• Eight shades to suit daytime neutrals and evening statements
