Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner Reviews
-
Intense, vibrant and long lasting
I received this in Moray which is a rich olive, gold color and I loved it enough to also purchase this in Lionfish, a bronze color with gold shimmer. These apply really easily. They also blend out nicely, leaving a lovely shimmer on the eyes, or you could apply without blending for a nice, intense color. I love wearing these on the water line because it adds a nice, subtle sparkle to the eyes. This is also nice just in the inner corners of the eyes. These eyeliners truly are long lasting, even when you blend them out. Often times with liners that contain shimmer/sparkle, the color fades more quickly than with regular liners. These actually last longer than most conventional liners. At $20 each, these are pricey for a twist up eyeliner, but a little goes a long way. This is a unique enough product, that it is worth the money. I love the color selection and application of the Stila Smudge Sticks and I would definitely recommend them to eyeliner lovers. — 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Long lasting!
This Stila liner stick has real staying power. I had a problem applying it without a small noticeable line between the liner and my lashes (not a good look). It also drags my skin when I apply. The strong point is once you get it on, it stays. — 2 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

One of the better ones
I really like this waterproof liner because it truly does what it promises. Color stays true and lasts all day with no smudging. — 1 year, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Pros and Cons
I like Stila's makeup line. Overall the quality and performance are great and worth the money. I bought this eyeliner in Stingray (black). For this eyeliner I have to say I do and I don't like it. Here's the pros and cons on why I feel this way. First the pros: Wonderful and intense colour, long lasting, smudges to soften easily but this must be done quickly. It is waterproof and looks nice throughout the day. Now the cons: As I mentioned this eyeliner has to be smudged to soften quickly. If the eyeliner "sets" any attempt to smudge it will cause it to flake off. Also any mistakes (i.e. a mistake such as leaving a space between liner and lashes so the skin shows) must be done immediately. If you try to apply the eyeliner over top of a line you have already drawn it will "peel" off. Being waterproof it isn't as easily removed as other eyeliners. Use an eyemakeup remover designed for removal of waterproof mascara so you don't have to do any extra rubbing on the eye area. If you like an intense eye with no softening of the line this is an excellent liner for you. If you like a liner that is more softening friendly and working quickly with makeup isn't you, then you may want to try another type of liner. — 1 year, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

Not as great as cream liner but still amazing
I love it, I love nearly everything about it. Lets start with my one and only complaint. The packaging. I could not get the pencil tip to extend at first, and then once I did it jumped out a lot and broke off about 1/4 inch of the pencil. The important stuff? This smudge stick goes on incredibly smooth. There is a tiny bit of glitter in this particular color but you don’t really see it on the eye. On the eye it has a pearl like sheen. The color I got (Blue Ribbon) is unbelievable. It is the perfect blue for me. It is a blue grey. It kinda reminds me of the skies in Seattle. It doesn’t detract from my actual eye color at all like many blue products do. The grey in it also makes it perfect for not looking too flashy at work. Stila claims the smudge stick is waterproof. It made it through a full shower without movement at all. Even after patting my face dry after the shower it stayed on like a champ. B ecause of this I now have a new go-to pencil style eyeliner. I am still partial to my cream/gels but this is a close second. — 1 year, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Must have product
I never used to wear eye liner but this product has converted me! I find that it goes on easily, lets you smudge it to soften it in (if you do it right away), and it lasts a long time on my. After it sets in it will not budge, but it still washes away easily when you are ready to. I do not heavily line my eyes, but for a little something extra, it is a great eye liner. And, for someone like me who is new to lining my eyes, I think it is very easy to apply. I do wish I could get the point a little sharper…sometimes it seems a little too flat or dull as it comes out, but it is also handy that you do not actually need a sharpener to use it…you just twist the handle. I absolutely love it and plan to buy more in all the different colors it is available in. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Creamy, long-wearing eyeliner
Love this. It comes in lots of pretty colors and is very creamy. Very easy to smudge and when it sets it last all day. Recommend! — 1 month, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Liner perfection
This stuff doesn't move. And I have the oiliest eyelids ever. Even my lower lids. Comes in pretty, sparkly colors. But not sparkly in a teenagery way, in a subtle way. Love these! — 2 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner
This eyeliner does not stay put, especially near my inner eye. It fades after just an hour or so. Very disappointed that I spent significant money (I normally purchase my products from the drugstore) on a product that doesn't work any better than something that costs much less. Even worse, I'm stuck with 5 different shades, as I purchased a pack of different colors. This might work for others, but I really have a hard time finding makeup that stays on my face. — 3 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Great saturation
These liners are much more flattering and beautiful than they seem. Creamy, the line stays put and can be applied lightly or thickly. Great for day or night. I did not leave 10 stars only because it does not stay put if drawn on the inner eyelid. — 6 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
