3 Ways to wear smudge eye liner with Stila

From sultry late-night looks to fresh, shimmering daytime glam, smudged eye liner is a versatile addition to any eye look. Here are three different ways you can wear this season's hottest make-up trend using our Stay All Day® Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Eye Liner.

DAYTIME GLAM
The perfect technique for adding a touch of glam to your warm-toned daytime make-up, this look is all about perfectly blended liner with a hint of shimmer.

1. Start by lining the upper outer corner of your eye lid using the Stay All Day® Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Eye Liner in shade 'Damsel Dark Brown', and the lower outer corner with the Stay All Day® Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Eye Liner in shade 'Espresso'. Don't worry about making the lines neat, as you'll use a brush to blend out all lines for a soft, smoky effect.

3. To add some glamor, apply our Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in shade 'Kitten Kaleidoscope' to the center and inner corner of your eye lid using the applicator. You can also use a dense eye shadow brush to add additional product and intensify the sparkle. 


5. Last but not least, finish the look with our HUGE™ Extreme Lash Mascara for the perfect, dramatic lash.

SHARP LINES
This sharp, yet soft and clean cat eye is a great way to spice up your winged eye liner game.

 

1. Start with a winged liner using the Stay All Day® Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Eye Liner in shade 'Stingray Black' and carefully blend out any edges for a softer look. To avoid things getting messy, use small amounts of product at a time, and continue to build and blend the pigment until it's at your desired colour.


2. Using the Stay All Day® Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Eye Liner in shade 'Silver Lining', line the inner corner of your eye, extending the center just slightly towards your nose for the desired cat eye look. 


3. Finish the look with our HUGE™ Extreme Lash Mascara.

SULTRY NIGHTS
For a dramatic, dark look perfect for late-night drinks and dancing, go for a punchy bold colour.

 

1. To begin, line the outer edge of your eye in a slight wing with the Stay All Day® Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Eye Liner in shade 'Vivid Sapphire' and carefully blend out any edges for a softer look. You can build and blend the colour over time to intensify the pigment. Line your top and bottom waterline with the same eye liner.

 

2. Line the inner corner of your eye using  the Stay All Day® Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Eye Liner in shade 'Electric Lapis' and gently blend with the other eyeliner to connect the lines.


3. To finish, give your lashes the ultimate, dramatic boost using our HUGE™ Extreme Lash Mascara.
