Page Six editors swear by this ‘idiot-proof’ eyeliner — and one sells every 20 seconds

Plenty of our editors see eye to eye on this liner.

Stila’s Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner is practically the gold standard of long-lasting eye makeup — so much so, the brand says a tube sells every 20 seconds.

While I try plenty of products as a shopping editor, it’s the only eyeliner I’ve repurchased again and again for at least three years now. As the name suggests, it truly does stay all day!

Senior Social Media Manager Michelle Moezam also swears by the stuff, calling it the “best idiot-proof eyeliner for someone who likes to do their makeup in the office bathroom.”

“The formula never flakes, and when going back over the same line, it doesn’t pick up the first application,” she adds, noting that she switches things up with the multiple color options. (It comes in seven shades, ranging from brown and black to electric blue.)

Page Six Style & Shopping Director Elana Fishman is also a longtime devotee, saying it stands up to “sweat, humidity, you name it — all without smudging, smearing or fading.”

“As someone who never feels fully dressed without a cat eye, I’ve tried a lot — and I mean a lot — of liquid eyeliners over the years,” she adds.

“Still, Stila’s is the one I keep coming back to time and time again. It glides on like a dream sans skipping, lasts all day long and generally makes the tricky feat of drawing on the perfect wing as simple as possible.”

Plenty of industry pros also keep it on hand — like Lochie Stonehouse, who works with Lorde and Troye Sivan and once told Vanity Fair it’s his “go-to.”

While the brand also makes a version with a micro tip for an ultra-thin line, we’re partial to the original cult favorite, which has been on the market for nearly two decades.

For the best of both worlds, there’s also a dual-ended option — featuring both the micro and original tips — and a waterproof gel liner that’s perfect for a sultry smoky eye.
