How Does Non Smudge Eyeliner Work?

Non smudge eyeliner contains advanced film-forming polymers and water-resistant pigments that create a flexible seal over the skin. This makes them resistant to oil, sweat, and rubbing—unlike regular eyeliners, which break down under pressure.

• Film-forming polymers: Help seal the liner against smudging
• Silicone-based texture: Adds glide without slipping off
• Quick dry formula: Reduces transfer and streaks
