No 1. Pencil Creamy Long-Wearing Eyeliner

Glossier No. 1 Pencil is a creamy kohl-style liner with a short working window: soft enough to smudge for a minute or two, then it dries down and stops moving. Glossier rates the set finish as demi-matte and resistant to both water and transfer, with up to 12 hours of wear.

What it actually does

• Glides on without dragging. The brand's point of difference is a creamy lead that does not skip, tug at the lid or print itself onto the upper lash line.
• Lays down true, crisp colour. Pigment is rich enough that one pass reads solid, and you can build it heavier where you want weight.
• Smudges on demand — briefly. Blend it while it is still wet and you get a smoky edge; once it sets, Glossier says it holds as a demi-matte film.
• Survives water and transfer after dry-down, per the brand, for up to 12 hours.
• Safe for the waterline and tightline, which is where a hard or scratchy pencil usually falls apart.
• Formulated without parabens, phthalates, formaldehydes and formaldehyde-releasing agents, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, SLS and SLES sulfates, triclocarban and triclosan. Glossier lists it as vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free, containing less than one percent synthetic fragrance.

How to use

1. Draw along the upper, lower or both lash lines depending on how much definition you are after.
2. Push it into the lashes to tightline, or run it along the waterline for a deeper, closed-up look.
3. For smoke, work fast. Buff and soften the line with a brush or fingertip before the formula sets — after that it will not budge.
4. For graphic shapes, let it dry untouched. Draw the line, leave it alone, and the edge stays where you put it.

Timing note: this liner is deliberately two products in one — soft and blendable for its first moments, locked down after. Decide which look you want before you start.

Questions

How long do I have to smudge it?

Only until it dries down. Glossier frames blending as something you do before the formula sets, so plan to smoke it out immediately after drawing rather than coming back to it later.

Can I use it inside my lower lash line?

Yes. The brand says it suits both the waterline and tightlining, which is the main reason to reach for a creamy pencil over a liquid liner.

Will it come off in the pool or at the beach?

Glossier describes the dried finish as water-resistant, not waterproof. It should hold through sweat and humidity; prolonged swimming is a different test. Use an oil-based or dedicated eye makeup remover to take it off.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery takes 3 to 21 working days, depending on availability. In-stock shades move fastest; special orders sit at the longer end. Working days exclude weekends and official holidays.

How can I pay?

Credit card, debit card, Instapay and mobile wallets — there is no cash on delivery.
