stila Gel Eyeliner Pencil — Intense Black Waterproof Gel Liner, 12-Hour Wear & Waterline-Safe

stila Stay All Day® Smudge & Set is a creamy, waterproof gel eyeliner pencil that glides on smoothly, smudges for smoky effects, then sets to stay put for up to 12 hours.

Designed for anyone who wants high-impact eye definition without constant retouching, this retractable gel pencil delivers intense color payoff in one swipe and locks down quickly. The formula is waterline-safe and waterproof, making it a versatile tool whether you’re tightlining lashes, lining the waterline, or blending into a smoky shadow. It gives you the control to draw precise lines or smudge for softer looks, then holds that look through a long day or night.

How long will my liner last when I wear it all day?

This gel pencil is formulated to set quickly and resist fading, smudging, and transfer for up to 12 hours under normal wear conditions. While individual wear time varies with skin type and activities, the waterproof, sweat-resistant formula helps maintain intensity from morning to night.

• 12-hour claimed wear for long-lasting looks
• Waterproof formula minimizes running from moisture
• Fade- and sweat-resistant for reliable all-day color

Can I use it on the waterline and for tightlining?

Yes—this pencil is waterline-safe and designed for close-to-the-lash application, making it ideal for tightlining to add depth and definition. Its smooth gel texture provides comfortable glide on the delicate eye rim without tugging.

• Safe for waterline and inner rim application
• Soft gel glide avoids pulling on delicate skin
• Delivers instant pigment for subtle or bold tightlining

How do I create a smoky or smudged eye with this pencil?

The pencil gives you enough working time to line and then blend before it sets; smudge with a fingertip or a small brush to diffuse the edge into shadow. Layer or set with powder eyeshadow for a deeper, longer-lasting smoky effect.

• Apply a line close to lashes, then blend outward with a brush
• Use fingertip for a softer, more diffused finish
• Set with matching powder eyeshadow for extra depth and longevity

Is the pencil easy to use and travel-friendly?

Yes—the retractable design removes the need for sharpening and keeps the tip ready for on-the-go application. A secure cap keeps the tip protected; simply twist and draw for quick, no-skip color or build and smudge for creative looks.

• Retractable mechanism—no sharpener required
• Cap closes tightly to protect the tip and prevent drying
• Single-stroke payoff saves time during makeup routines
