Product Review: Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

Like my never-ending quest for the perfect eyeshadow, I’m always searching for an eyeliner that will actually stay where I put it.  Every eyeliner I use either just along my lash line or in my water line seems to smudge and smear. The biggest problem I have is that pretty much all of my eyeliners seem to smear under my eyes making little dark circle marks beneath my eyes. To be fair, my mascara is also usually to blame. I think I may have found an eyeliner that won’t smear, it isn’t a pencil, which is my preferred format, but it is well behaved and that counts for a lot.   

                                               

  

Stila’s Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner is a felt-tip style liquid eye liner pen. The tip comes to a fine point for precision application and is reasonably flexible for comfort. The pen’s cap closes very securely so you don’t have to worry about it popping off in your purse or makeup bag, leaving a huge mess. The color, intense black, is a very dark, true black and the finish is neither particularly glossy nor matte.

                                                                

 love using this pen to fill in between my eyelashes because the precision tip is so fine and skinny it can reach between my lashes without making a mess. Intense Black is a very appropriate name. This pen is an incredibly deep, true black that really makes your lash line look bold.

  Want to take this off  This isn’t a problem at all with Stila’s pen! I simply saturate a cotton swab with eye makeup remover or pure Almond or Grapeseed Oil and gently swirl or rub it over the liner and it comes right off without fuss or irritation.

I haven’t had any problems with this pen drying out or being inconsistent at all. Felt-tip style eyeliner pens have a tendency to dry out rather quickly. I’ve been using my Stila pen for several months and it’s still going strong.
