With the Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner, all you have to do is twist and apply. There is no need for a sharpener and the tiny tip gives great precision. The buttery texture also allows smooth and easy application with zero tugging.

The 8 super gorgeous colors are all so intensely pigmented I never have to go over the same line twice to get the color I want.
* Blue Ribbon – navy grey
* Koi – metallic gold
* Lionfish – deep bronze with shimmer
* Moray – golden olive with shimmer
* Peacock – vibrant teal with shimmer
* Purple Tang – dark purple with shimmer
* Silver Dollar – metallic silver
* Stingray – jet black

The best part is how long-lasting it is. Once the liner sets, it will not smudge or fade even if it comes into contact with water. I even broke a beauty rule and tried rubbing my eye to see if it will come off but the liner simply will not budge. Seriously, what more can you ask for?
My Picks: Peacock, Purple Tang, Stingray

i am wondering if it is better than the MAC grease paint stick
Angelina,
The MAC Greasepaint Stick is more of an eyeshadow/base and this is like an eyeliner (the tip is a LOT thinner and unlike the MAC, you don’t have to sharpen this). They both stay on really well tho.
Sounds so nice!love how ‘lionfish’ ‘blue ribbon’ and ‘peacock’ look!!! I’m going to have to save up for this! Wish I could I’d have all! Thanks 4 the review nice reading it, as always

I am gonna have to check these liners out! I am still in the search for an HG liner that won’t fade and smudge super fast. I’ve been using MAC Blacktrack for the waterline as well these days but I would much rather use a pencil liner. Thanks for the review!!!
XO,
Stephie
great haul! I dont want to sound rude but was this sent to you or is this from your personal purchase? Please advise
Wow, the review you gave it is amazing! I might have to go check it out one day!
Nice! I am so checking these out!
Yay I love it when you guys get excited about products that I love =) I’m going back for Peacock later this week!
Leah,
I bought the Smudge Stick at Sephora. If the product was sent to me, I always put up a disclaimer (you will see it right below the rating).
thanks Phylz,
these colours are all so nice.. hard to pick
pls tell me how this holds up on the waterline! i use mac fluidline on my waterline but it never lasts:(
Yes it does!! You can always run a Q-tip over your waterline to soak up some moisture before you apply the eyeliner as well.
Are these comparable with Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide On Pencils? And are they good for tightlining?
I actually prefer these over the UD pencils and yes they are good for tightlining.
Hey I know I am late to the stila smudge stick party. Not because I did not want to get them, but I got distracted. LOL I ordered the Moray color and I hope that it will show up as a liner or I will use as shadow base.
