Do you have makeup products that you “visit” at certain stores? Often it is pricey palettes for me or other things I just can’t justify. I’ll pet it, swatch it, sigh at it, then move along. I know I really like something when I keep coming back. That is exactly the case with the Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Turquoise. Now that I officially own it & have been using it for a few weeks I’m ready to share my thoughts!

I’ve been a big fan of the Stila Smudge Sticks for a long time now but this is my first bright shade. I have some deeper shades, like plum & moss. This is also (to my memory) the first Stila Smudge Stick I’ve purchased that doesn’t contain shimmer. These wear very nicely & apply quite smoothly, especially for an automatic pencil. These are not retractable so do pay attention to how much product you’re rolling up!

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Turquoise is more of a mint than what I consider a turquoise. It is still a lovely shade though! I don’t wear this shade in my waterline often & instead opt to wear it on my lid for a pop of color. I often top it with another shade to smoke it up a little but it works nicely alone as well. This is a waterproof pencil & while it wears great on my lid it does tend to wear off a bit more in my waterline. I figure it is both because I have allergy eyes & lighter shades tend to fade more quickly there.

All in all, a beautifully unique shade. I don’t have anything close to this color in my collection & definitely not something matte. I’m very impressed. This was a it pricey but these pencils last a long time. I also think it is a limited edition shade so if you want it, you’ll need to snap it up. I picked up my pencil at Ulta.

What do you think of this shade? Do you have anything similar? Interested in seeing a tutorial?
