Stila Smudge Crayon Waterproof Primer Shadow Liner Review, Swatches and Photos

From the latest Spring 2012 collection, Stila turns my favorite Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner into Smudge Crayon Waterproof Primer + Shadow + Liner, an eyeshadow primer, shadow and liner all rolled into one.

Stila Smudge Crayon Waterproof Primer + Shadow + Liner in Kitten

Measuring 5 inches long, the Stila Smudge Crayon comes in a twist-up design that can easily pass as a MAC Shadestick dupe. The only difference? Stila’s is a teeny bit longer and includes a sharpener at the bottom.

There are 8 colors available, including Stila’s best-selling shade Kitten, dark, sultry shades like Dazzle and Midnight Blue along with softer colors like Rose and Smoke. I was sent Kitten, a light beige color with fine shimmer that works beautifully a base or a highlighter.

The gel-based, multi-pearl formula is enriched with vitamin E and aloe, helping the crayon glide on easily and tug-free. Compared to MAC Shadestick, the finish was creamier, more blendable and never made my eyelids crepey.

The crayon also stayed true to its claim of 6+ hours of crease and fade-resistant wear. Once it set, the color did not come off even if I rubbed it. I wore it all over the eyelid without a primer underneath and only experienced minimal creasing after 8 hours.

Overall, I find Stila Smudge Crayon Waterproof Primer + Shadow + Liner awesome and even better than MAC Shadestick. If you’re a fan of the MAC, you will definitely love this!

Stila Smudge Crayon Waterproof Primer + Shadow + Liner is now available at stilacosmetics.com and Sephora for $22.
