stila Stay All Day Waterproof Gel Eye Liner — Smudge & Set, 12-Hour Wear, Waterline-Safe

stila Stay All Day® Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Eye Liner is a gel-pencil designed to deliver long-lasting, water-resistant color that lines, smudges, and sets for up to 12 hours.

This gel-based eyeliner combines a creamy glide with a quick-setting finish so you can create crisp lines, smoky smudges, or subtle shadowing from a single pencil. The formula is engineered to be waterline-safe and resistant to fading, flaking, and sweat, making it a versatile tool for everyday looks and special occasions. Available in matte and shimmer finishes, it offers intense pigmentation in one stroke while still allowing brief blending time before it locks in place.

How does this pencil perform for precise lining?

The gel-rich texture deposits bold, continuous pigment without skipping or tugging, so you can draw sharp, defined lines along the lash line and crease. The finely milled formula helps control feathering, resulting in a clean edge that lasts through the day.

• Creamy, no-pull application for steady strokes
• High pigment payoff—one swipe delivers visible color
• Quick setting minimizes smudging after application
• Suitable for tightlining and above-lash definition

Can I smudge or blend it into a smoky eye?

Yes — you have a short window to smoke or soften the line before the formula sets. Work quickly with a small brush or smudger to diffuse the color outward for a smoky effect that then locks in for hours without migrating.

• Soft enough for deliberate smudging immediately after application
• Blends into shadow for gradient, layered looks
• Once set, resists transfer and remains intact

Is this liner suitable for waterline and long wear?

The pencil is formulated to be safe for the waterline and to withstand humidity, sweat, and daily movement. It’s labeled waterproof and designed to maintain color intensity for up to 12 hours under normal wear conditions.

• Waterline-safe formulation for inner rim definition
• Waterproof and sweat-resistant finish
• Fade-proof color that retains richness all day

How should I apply and maintain the pencil for best results?

Apply directly along the lash line for a defined look, or lay the color down and blend before it sets for a softer finish. Use a pencil sharpener or twist mechanism if provided, and store capped to prevent drying. For longevity, pair with eye primer or set with matching powder or shadow.

• Apply in short, controlled strokes close to lashes
• Blend immediately with a smudger brush if desired
• Keep the cap on when not in use to preserve creaminess
• Use eye primer to enhance staying power on oily lids

Who is this for: This liner is ideal for anyone seeking a single, multi-functional pencil that can create everything from precise, everyday definition to sultry, blended looks without frequent touch-ups. It suits makeup lovers who want strong pigmentation, waterline-safe options, and long wear for busy days or evenings out. Whether you prefer matte intensity or a luminous shimmer, this pencil is built for quick application and dependable all-day performance.
