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

Designed for easy play and long-lasting definition, this gel-based pencil combines the precision of a liner with the versatility of a smudging shadow. The creamy texture gives intense color in a single swipe and is formulated to be waterline-safe and sweat-resistant. Whether you’re tightlining lashes, lining the waterline, or creating a blended smoky eye, this pencil lets you shape, smudge, and set your look in seconds.

How quickly does it set and how long will it stay put?

The formula sets in seconds after application, transforming from a blendable gel to a long-wearing finish that resists smudging and fading. Expect dependable wear through a full day of activity and humid conditions without frequent touch-ups.

• Sets in seconds for quick makeup routines.
• Up to 12 hours of continuous wear when applied as directed.
• Waterproof and sweat-resistant for dependable hold.
• Fade-proof pigment delivers intense payoff in one swipe.

Can I use it on the waterline and for tightlining?

Yes — the pencil is formulated to be safe for use along the waterline and for tightlining the lash base. Its gel texture provides enough glide to apply close to the lash roots without tugging, while setting to a stable finish that minimizes transfer.

• Waterline-safe formulation for deeper, defined eyes.
• Soft glide reduces pulling at the delicate eye rim.
• Precise control for tightlining between lashes.
• High-impact color that won’t migrate into the eye crease.

How do I create different looks with one pencil?

This pencil doubles as an eyeliner and a creamy shadow: draw a crisp line then leave it, or smudge it out immediately for a smoky effect. You have a short working window to blend with fingers or a brush before the gel sets, after which the finish becomes long-lasting and resistant to smudging.

• For fine liner work, draw along upper and lower lash lines and leave to set.
• For smoky eyes, smudge within seconds using a smudger brush or fingertip.
• Layer or blend into powder shadow for extended depth and dimension.
• Retractable format keeps application neat and on-the-go ready.

What application tips help achieve the best results?

Begin with clean, dry lids and a securely closed cap for product longevity. Use short, connected strokes for precision; blend quickly if you want a soft edge, and allow the gel to set undisturbed to maximize wear time. Replace the cap tightly after use to prevent drying.

• Apply in short passes for smooth, even color payoff.
• Blend within seconds for a soft, diffused finish.
• Tightline by working the pencil between lashes for natural depth.
• Always close cap fully to preserve creaminess and glide.
