stila Stay All Day Waterproof Gel Eyeliner Pencil — Black, Retractable, 12-Hour Smudge & Set Finish

stila Stay All Day® Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Liner is a retractable, gel-pencil eyeliner that glides on smoothly, smudges for smoky looks, and sets to a waterproof, 12-hour no-budge finish.

This gel-based pencil blends the control of a liner with the blendability of a cream shadow. Designed to deliver intense color in a single swipe, it works on upper and lower lash lines, tightline, and waterline while allowing a short window to smudge before it locks down. Whether you want a sharp, defined edge or a sultry smudged wash, this formula is built to play, set, and last through a busy day.

How does this gel pencil perform during a long day?

The formula is waterproof and waterline-safe, engineered to resist transfer, fading, and sweat for up to 12 hours of continuous wear. Once the color sets, it becomes fade-proof and largely budge-resistant, so you can rely on it from morning until evening.

• 12-hour wear tested for long-lasting color payoff
• Waterproof, sweat-resistant finish
• Sets quickly to minimize smudging after blending

Can I use it to create both precise lines and smoky effects?

Yes — the gel texture balances glide and control so you can draw crisp, tightlines or smudge the same stroke into a shadow. There’s enough working time to blend with a fingertip or brush, then the formula locks in place for a clean or diffused look.

• Retractable pencil for fine-lined application
• Blendable for smoky, shadowed effects before setting
• Single-swipe intensity that doubles as liner and smudge-shadow

Is it safe for use on the waterline and suitable for sensitive eye areas?

This gel pencil is formulated to be waterline-safe and is intended for use along the inner rim and lash line. Its smooth application reduces tugging, which helps when working in delicate eye areas, but always patch-test new products if you have highly reactive eyes.

• Designed for waterline and tightlining
• Glides on smoothly to minimize irritation from pulling
• Retractable design avoids sharpening, reducing waste and friction

How do I get the best results and make it last?

Apply directly along the lash line or waterline, then smudge quickly with a brush or fingertip if you want a diffused finish. Close the cap tightly after use; the pencil sets in seconds and resists transfer once dried.

• Line first, smudge within seconds for smoky finish, then let set
• Use on upper/lower lash line, tightline, or waterline for added definition
• Replace cap securely to preserve texture and performance

Who is this for: makeup lovers who value a versatile, high-impact eye product — from everyday liners and subtle tightlining to evening smoky eyes. It’s ideal for people who want one reliable pencil that delivers immediate color payoff, short blending time, and long-lasting wear without midday touch-ups. Perfect for on-the-go beauty routines, artists who experiment with layered eye looks, and anyone seeking waterproof definition that won’t falter through a full day.
