12color Matte Eyeliner Pencil & Solid Gel | Smudge-Proof | Nevorea
12color's gel eyeliner for precise, buildable definition with a creamy formula that glides smoothly and sets for all-day wear.
Added to the Nevorea edit because of its gel formula that combines the precision control of a pencil with the rich pigment intensity and smooth application of a liquid liner.
Smooth Application Without Dragging
Pencil liners with a hard or dry formula drag against the eyelid, causing discomfort and producing an uneven line that requires correction. This gel formula glides onto the lid with minimal pressure, depositing consistent pigment in a smooth, even stroke from inner to outer corner. The creamy consistency responds immediately to the warmth of the skin, softening further on contact for a friction-free application experience.
Buildable Intensity for Any Look
A single application layer produces a clean, defined line for everyday looks. Additional passes over the same line, applied before the formula fully sets, build toward a thicker, more deliberate liner look without producing a visible layered effect. The gel formula blends at the edges when smudged with a brush, enabling a smoky transition from a solid liner line to a diffused shadow effect.
Long-Lasting Formula That Sets Without Cracking
Gel liner that dries too rigidly after setting can crack along the liner line throughout the day, compromising the look without the ability to touch up cleanly. This formula sets to a flexible finish that moves with the natural movement of the eyelid, maintaining its line integrity through a full day of wear without flaking or cracking at the outer corners or in the fold of the lid.

The Nevorea Ritual
Sharpen to a precise point before each use for the cleanest application. Apply with short, light strokes along the lash line, working from the inner corner outward. Build additional layers for deeper color before the formula fully sets. For a softer look, blend the upper edge with a small brush while the formula is still workable. Set with a matching eyeshadow for extended wear. Expect lasts up to 10 hours without touch-ups.
How do I remove eyeliner without irritating the eye area?
Use a dedicated eye makeup remover or a micellar water on a cotton pad. Press the pad gently against the closed eyelid for 10 to 15 seconds to allow the remover to break down the formula, then wipe in one direction from inner to outer corner without rubbing. Avoid pulling or scrubbing the eyelid skin. For waterproof or long-wearing formulas, an oil-based remover is more effective than water-based options.
Can this eyeliner be used on the waterline?
Pencil and kajal formulas are generally suitable for waterline application. Liquid and gel formulas are designed primarily for the lash line and may cause discomfort if applied to the waterline. For extended waterline wear, use a pencil or kajal formula specifically and check that the product is ophthalmologist-tested if you have sensitive eyes.
How do I prevent eyeliner from smudging throughout the day?
Apply an eyeshadow primer to the eyelid before liner application to reduce the impact of skin oils on wear time. Allow the liner to fully set before opening the eye fully or touching the area. Set pencil liner with a small, firm brush loaded with a matching eyeshadow shade pressed over the liner line. Avoid applying skincare products directly to the eyelid on days you plan to wear liner.
Is this eyeliner suitable for beginners?
Yes. Start by resting your elbow on a stable surface to steady your hand. Work in short, connected strokes rather than attempting a single continuous line. Pencil and gel formulas are generally more forgiving for beginners than liquid, as they can be blended or corrected within the first seconds after application before fully setting. Practice the outer flick on the back of your hand before applying to the eye.
