FAQs

How do I achieve a smoky eye effect with this liner?

Apply the liner generously to your lash line and lid. Before it sets (within 15-30 seconds), use a small blending brush, a smudger brush, or your fingertip to gently smudge and diffuse the color outwards.

Is this eyeliner suitable for the waterline?

While designed for the lash line, many users find it suitable for the waterline due to its creamy texture and long-lasting finish. Test on a small area first if you have sensitive eyes.

How long does the eyeliner typically last?

Once set, the Stila Smudge Stick is designed for all-day wear, typically lasting 8-12 hours without significant fading or smudging, provided it's applied correctly.

How do I remove this waterproof eyeliner?

A bi-phase or oil-based eye makeup remover is recommended for effectively dissolving the waterproof formula without excessive rubbing.

Does the Graphite shade have any shimmer?

The Graphite shade is generally a matte or satin finish, designed to be a deep, dark grey. It does not typically contain noticeable shimmer.

Can I use this eyeliner if I have oily eyelids?

Yes, its waterproof and smudge-proof formula makes it a good option for oily eyelids. For extra longevity, consider using an eyeshadow primer underneath.

Troubleshooting

Eyeliner is not gliding smoothly.

Ensure the product is warmed slightly by holding it between your fingers for a few seconds, or try sharpening if it's a pencil type to refresh the tip.

Eyeliner is smudging immediately after application.

You may be applying too much pressure, or not allowing enough time for the initial set. Apply with lighter strokes and work in smaller sections if needed. Blend quickly.

Product seems to be drying out.

Make sure the cap is fully sealed after every use. Store upright in a cool, dry place. If the tip is dry, try gently warming it or sharpening it away.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves a truly waterproof and smudge-proof finish.
  • Offers flexibility to create different eye looks, from sharp lines to smoky effects.
  • The creamy texture allows for easy manipulation before it sets.
  • Provides consistent color payoff.
  • Suitable for all-day wear without needing touch-ups.

Cons

  • Requires quick application and blending as it sets fast.
  • Sharpening may be necessary for a precise point (if it's a pencil format not specified).
  • May not be ideal for those who prefer a very long working time for blending.
  • The graphite shade might be too intense for very fair skin tones for a dramatic look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This product is ready to use directly from its packaging. If it is a twist-up pencil, twist the base to expose the product. If it requires sharpening, use a cosmetic pencil sharpener.

Compatibility: The Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Graphite is compatible with most eye primers and eyeshadows. For best results, ensure eyelids are clean and dry before application. It pairs well with other Stila makeup products.

Care: To maintain the product's performance, always ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to prevent drying. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Clean the tip with a tissue if necessary, especially if it has come into contact with other makeup.
