Anastasia Beverly Hills Darkside Gel Liner — Retractable Matte Black, Waterproof Long-Wear Precision

Anastasia Beverly Hills Darkside Gel Liner is a retractable, waterproof gel eyeliner that delivers intense matte-black pigment for long-lasting, smudge-resistant eye definition.

This retractable gel pencil from Anastasia Beverly Hills gives you a pro-level, full-pigment matte black liner that glides on smoothly and sets to stay. Designed for tightlining, winged looks, and smoky blends, Darkside pairs a creamy gel texture with a twist-up applicator so you can draw precise lines without a separate sharpener. Ophthalmologist-tested and cruelty-free, it’s formulated to resist water and humidity while keeping a clean matte finish.

How does Darkside Gel Liner hold up during a long day?

Darkside is formulated for extended wear and resists smudging, fading, and running through ordinary daily activities. The waterproof gel finish locks pigment in place so it stays bold from morning to evening without repeated touch-ups.

• 24-hour waterproof formula designed to resist smudging and fading
• Matte, true-black payoff maintains high impact over time
• Gel texture sets without becoming flaky or cakey

Can I use this pencil on the waterline and for tightlining?

The soft, creamy gel formulation makes Darkside suitable for waterline and tightline application, producing dense color with minimal tugging. Because it’s ophthalmologist-tested, it’s made to be gentle around the eye, while still delivering the intense black coverage tightlining requires.

• Ultra-creamy glide reduces pulling on delicate lids
• Saturated black pigment for subtle or dramatic tightlines
• Retractable tip grants control when lining the inner rim

How easy is it to create sharp wings or smoky looks with this liner?

Darkside’s gel texture allows you to draw clean, crisp wings or smudge it out for a smoky finish before it sets. The twist-up design preserves a defined point for precision, while the formula gives you a short working time to blend when desired.

• Retractable precision keeps a fine point for clean winged lines
• Blendable for smokey effects, then sets to a long-lasting matte
• No sharpener needed—twist to reveal more product as required

What makes the retractable design practical for everyday use?

The retractable mechanism eliminates the need for sharpening and reduces breakage, making the pencil convenient for travel and on-the-go touch-ups. Its controlled tip makes delicate work easier and the compact format fits neatly in makeup bags.

• Twist-up system prevents product waste and breakage
• Compact, portable design for easy storage and travel
• Consistent tip keeps application predictable and clean
