Finally, a long-wear liner that’s safe for sensitive eyes and the waterline. This waterproof, sweatproof formula glides on smoothly without dragging, skipping, or tugging. The rich, saturated color blends effortlessly for diffused definition, then locks in up to 24-hour wear. It’s available in an art-inspired palette of 10 shades, from nuanced neutrals to dimensional jewel tones. The sharpenable pencil is made in part from repurposed coffee chaff—an innovative material that uses would-be waste from the coffee industry. It’s clinically tested on sensitive eyes and the waterline—so everyone can define their signature look.
Thru Line is a sharpenable eyeliner pencil. For best results, sharpen it only with the custom-designed Precision Dual Sharpener.

FAQ

Yes, Thru Line Waterproof Eyeliner is ophthalmologist-tested and safe for the waterline and sensitive eyes. The pigments are coated in avocado oil, so they glide on smoothly without dragging or tugging the delicate skin along the lash line and waterline. It applies comfortably whether you’re tightlining the upper lash line or lining the inner rim, and it stays put once it sets.
Thru Line is longwear waterproof eyeliner with up to 24-hour wear. Once it sets, the formula is smudge-resistant, transfer-resistant, sweatproof, and humidity-proof. It works well for sensitive eyes, hooded lids, or anyone whose liner tends to fade, smudge, or transfer. Apply and blend any soft or smoked-out looks quickly—after the formula sets, it locks into place for the full wear time.
Yes! Hooded eyes are one of the trickiest shapes for liner because the lid folds down and makes contact throughout the day, which causes most pencils to transfer and smudge. Thru Line is a smudge-resistant, transfer-resistant waterproof eyeliner pencil, so it stays exactly where it is applied. It’s the perfect everyday option for hooded, mature, or deep-set eyes, where long wear matters most.
Thru Line works with most eyeliner application techniques. You can tightline along the upper lash line for subtle definition, line the waterline for depth, draw a thin, precise line for a clean look, or blend it out for a smoky effect. Work quickly on any blended or smudged-out styles—the formula locks in for 24-hour wear once it sets.
Thru Line is formulated with sensitive eyes in mind, not just color. Avocado Oil-Coated Pigments and Omega Fatty Acids give the formula its smooth, tug-free glide for comfortable wear, even on the waterline. It’s also vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without fragrance, gluten, or talc.
Thru Line comes in 10 shades in matte and shimmer finishes, so you can design everything from a natural daytime look to a lived-in smoky eye. The matte shades are perfect for clean, precise lines and tightlining, while the shimmer shades add subtle dimension along the lash line or inner corner. With shades that ranged from nuanced neutrals to rich jewel tones, there’s a color for most looks, skin tones, and preferences. Every shade is waterproof and safe for sensitive eyes.
Some waterproof eyeliner pencils trade comfort for performance, so they end up dragging, tugging, or irritating sensitive eyes. Thru Line is designed to do both. It combines up to 24-hour wear with an ophthalmologist-tested formula that’s safe for sensitive eyes and the waterline. The pigments are coated in avocado oil for smooth, non-irritating glide, and omega fatty acids help support comfortable wear on even the most delicate skin. The result is a long-wear, smudge-resistant, transfer-resistant liner that feels comfortable to wear.
Sharpen Thru Line with the Precision Dual Sharpener. Just insert your pencil into the smaller opening and twist gently to sharpen. (The larger opening is designed for Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon.) For best results, we recommend sharpening with the Precision Dual Sharpener only.

I tried both the brown hues and really like them. They go on easily and stay on! The only issue is they are a bit hard to sharpen.

When I started using the previous version of this eyeliner, I absolutely loved it. The rollup was 100% better than trying to use a sharpener. I was having such a time with it that I even ordered the Ilia sharpener. With tax and shipping I think it ended up being $17 for a sharpener that didn’t do diddly. So now I have two different liners in this new waterproof formula that I really can’t use and I’m just super bummed about it. I haven’t been able to find the original online anywhere.
