Buy this liner and never look back.
You're gonna feel like a darn artist wielding this thing.
Also, I find that with inkier liners like Nyx, the liner will stamp onto the crease of my lid if I'm not careful. Stila dries pretty quickly, so I don't have a problem with smudging.
Although honestly, the tip on the original is pretty damn sharp, so I don't know if you even need it!
"I've been using this eyeliner for a really long time now. I have purchased about four consecutively and they all last a really long time before they dry out. I will say that it is very, very dark and very black (which I love). It is also extremely easy to apply your eyeliner thin or thick. I highly recommend this to anyone who is new to liner." —LC
"This is the best eyeliner I have yet to try. I went to a water park and I spent the whole day there. I got to the hotel and looked at my eyeliner and it was still intact. It didn't even fade a lil bit. Haven't used any other eyeliner since then. It also has the perfect size brush. Love it" —M. V
"Stila is the absolute best liquid eyeliner I have ever tried. It doesn't fade or crack, and stays on through sleeping or tears. It's very, very smudge-proof and it does not flake AT ALL. It dries quickly and even though it is waterproof (as long as you don't touch it excessively), it stays. It's also easy to clean off at the end of the day. No hard scrubbing to get it off, makeup wipes will take it off easily. It's amazing for creating perfect wings, or drawing artfully for Halloween." —Chick
