Why We Love It
A waterproof retractable eyeliner that twists up, so there is no sharpening and no shavings. The creamy formula glides on without tugging and holds through long days, humid weather and eyes that water. A smudger is built into the opposite end, so you can soften the line into a smoky look without reaching for another tool.

- Formula: waterproof
- Mechanism: twist up, no sharpening
- Built in smudger: yes, opposite end
- Shade indicator: on the barrel
Directions
Twist the barrel to advance a small amount of product. Draw along the lash line. Soften with the built in smudger within ten seconds if you want a smoky finish. Twist back down before capping.
Common questions
What are the benefits of a retractable eyeliner?
You twist up exactly as much as you need, so the tip stays a consistent shape and you never lose length to a sharpener. No shavings, no mess, and nothing to carry with it. The barrel is sealed, which keeps the formula from drying out the way an exposed wooden pencil tip does between uses.
What makes a retractable eyeliner easier to use than a wooden pencil?
Two things. The tip is always ready, so there is no sharpening step and no moment where you have shaved off half the pencil to get a point back. And the formula in a twist up barrel is usually creamier than a wooden pencil, so it glides rather than skips. For anyone still learning to line their eyes, that combination removes most of the frustration.
Does this waterproof eyeliner actually stay on?
It is formulated to hold through humidity, long wear and watering eyes. Waterproof formulas grip better on a clean, oil free lash line, so applying eye cream right up to the lashes will shorten the wear on any liner. Remove it with an oil based or dual phase makeup remover rather than scrubbing.
How do you use the built in smudger?
Draw the line first, then run the smudger along it within about ten seconds, while the formula is still movable. Once a waterproof liner sets, it stays where it is, which is the point. Work in short sections if you want a soft smoky edge along the whole lash line.
Which retractable eyeliner shade should you pick?
Black Magic is the standard sharp black. Dark Chocolate softens the eye and reads more natural in daylight. Regal Plum brings out green and hazel eyes. Rich Navy makes the whites of the eyes look brighter and is the easiest alternative to black if straight black feels harsh on you.
How do you remove waterproof eyeliner without pulling at the eye?
Press a cotton pad soaked in a dual phase or oil based remover against the closed eye and hold it there for about twenty seconds before wiping. The remover needs time to break down a waterproof formula. Rubbing at it dry is what pulls at the lash line and the thin skin around the eye.
