Hello CBurns. It sounds like there may be some confusion on how to sharpen the Infallible Pro Last Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner. The liner you purchased does not swivel, its sharpened with any good makeup sharpener. There can be a slight learning curve to getting a good point restored. These new generation gel liners need a sharp blade and gentle touch to sharpen well. For best results don’t try to push the pencil into the sharpener. At the slightest resistance, you’re in far enough. Gently turn and shave off a thin layer to reveal more liner. Pushing the pencil in too far will cause the blade to grab too much of the resin, the pencil won’t sharpen well that way...If its been awhile since you bought a new sharpener, you’ll be surprised the difference a fresh blade can make.

Love this pencil
8 years ago
i love this pencil, which I have in the blue color. Use it to underline/waterline my eyes. However, i only love it because I have an "industrial" electric pencil sharpener. & I had to call customer service to discover it wasn't a retractable/swivel up pencil even tho the bottom of the pencil turns, fooling you into thinking that's how it works. I did try the usual eye liner pencil sharpener...do dice as so many others have noted. The hard plastic holder is definitely a design challenge/defect that L'Oreal should correct.

Very frustrating to use!
8 years ago
I bought this product looking for something that would really not smudge, which I found to the case with this eyeliner pencil. However, sharpening it was impossible to do because the outer layer is so thick, and I wasted half of the pencil trying to sharpen it, which left sharp edges. I tried a dual sharpener but still didn't work. It's too bad that it is so difficult to use, but a waste of money if you can only get a few uses out of it before you need to sharpen it but can't.

This was a total wates of my money. It will not move when I screw the bottom of the pencil. I have tried all the "tricks" recommended and it will not advance.

Wasted $11 on about 3 uses. Cannot sharpen it.
14 days ago
Came here to read the product specifications and whether I'm the only person having issues sharpening the pencil. Seems like each review is about this issue. L'Oreal's generic reply is to repeat instructions about how to sharpen it and that you need a high quality eyeliner sharpener (additional purchase if you don't own one. The same reply was given to a comment where the person said that they DID use the correct sharpener and it still didn't work. L'OREAL: CONTACT ME FOR A REFUND OR CREDIT.

Paid $11 for one week of usage
15 days ago
The good news is that it does not smudge. The bad news is that I tried various cosmetic eye pencil sharpeners and none work to properly sharpen it. Therefore, I paid $11 for an eyeliner I was able to use for only one week. Please contact me directly to issue me a refund or six more pencils so that I can get the six weeks more of use out of it that I was expecting. Thank you.

I could only use it 3 or 4 times and then couldn't get any more to come out. Sharpening it was a mess and alot was wasted. Not worth the price of over $10 for 3 or 4 uses.

Misleading product

I thought I was buying the WHOLE pencil. Nope. After you use the "maybe" 1/4 inch of eyeliner showing, that's it. $10 bucks for about 10 days useage. I'm done with L'oreal. What a rip off.

Love the product. HATE the presentation
2 months ago
Love the product but hate the presentation. After opening the first 4 lines it's impossible to sharpen the pencil, I've tried so many different sharpeners always with the same result: the middle breaks apart and smudges all over the sharpener, the otter layer chips and it's a hazard to try to put it next to your eyeballs ever again....but those few lines at the beginning are perfection!!! I got the bronze and the color last all day. Really hope the presentation would change for a plastic twist pencil or something functional

Sharpening solution for pro last eye pencil
3 months ago
Love this pencil. It glides on easy because it's a soft pencil. I was a bit disappointed when I saw the only way to advance the pencil was to use a sharpener because soft pencils usually crumble in a sharpener. I read the reviews and this was always the complaint. The company came back with " use a sharpener, don't push the pencil while sharpening, turn slowly 3-4 times". So I tried that making sure it did not grab the soft part but only the black casing around the soft pencil part. It worked! The key is to not push the pencil into the blade. Insert it but don't jamb the end.. Gently turn it like they say. It will grab the black casing and do it's job.

Best pencil ever!!

I went onto the L’Oréal website to find the name of the pencil I use cause my husband bought the wrong one. I use this pencil so much I’m down to about an inch left of it. To the reviews that mentions that it doesn’t sharpen I’m confused, like what sharpeners are you guys using. I have a cheap 4 sharpener from maybelline and it sharpens my pencil perfectly every time. This is my 12th pencil I’ve purchased and I honestly hope these reviews won’t discontinue it.

Hey there! We are disappointed to hear that you are not getting great results when you sharpen the Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner. Despite the plastic appearance this is a sharpenable pencil, not a mechanical. We recommend using a makeup sharpener and turn the pencil gently in the sharpener 3 or 4 times, being careful not to apply excess pressure. After sharpening, remove all shavings from the blade edge. Your sharpener should be replaced whenever the blade has dulled and is no longer giving the expected results. We hope this information helps and you give it another try!

I love this eyeliner I used it on my wedding day in 2023 and have been repurchasing ever since. It lasted all night! It sharpens perfectly fine in my opinion. I did read the reviews about people having trouble sharping them and never had the issue tbh. But that’s because I use a cheap pencil sharpener to sharpen all my liners instead of a cosmetic sharpener. Since it’s a thicker plastic. some cosmetic sharpeners are made for plastic liners and some aren’t so it really depends on the sharpener

I really liked the idea of having a waterproof eyeliner. Directions read that the pencil can be sharpened. With the hard plastic cover there is no way to sharpen this. I paid over $10 to only use the product about five times. I have since read other reviews and get the same answer for each of them about using a good sharpener not gonna happen. I certainly would love to be able to get a refund.

It stays put!

I don’t understand the negative comments, my only negative would be the color choices.
I have watery mature eyes (58) and have a horrible time keeping eyeliner on. I’ve tried more expensive ones that claim to stay but they don’t.
Once this is on, it stays! If I work quickly, I can blend it a bit.
I just wish there were more shades without shimmer.
This is now a staple part of my makeup routine.

I bought both Cobalt Blue and Purple eyeliner pencil. I was happy to find these colour's. BUT now try and sharpen them. I had bought a sharpener tried and tried and tried and tried until I could not get either one to sharpener. I AM SO SORRY I WASTED MY MONEY ON THEM. I went to the store and spoke to them and they told me tough luck. Oh great. Now I'm stuck with these 2 pencils that just won't sharpener. Back to finding the liquid brand od these colour's BUT it won't be L'Oreal.

Initially liked but does not sharpen

I LOVED this eye pencil until it needed to be sharpened. I wrote to your customer service dept last week and have not heard anything back. It is such a good eye pencil, but is impossible to sharpen after it dulls. The packaging does not give any directions as to how to do this. I thought it turned from the end, but it doesn't. I finally realized you must use an actual sharpener and it wastes much of the eye pencil trying to get it sharp and then it goes on way too thick. Most disappointing.

Liked this product once I realized a light touch was needed. After a week, it needed sharpening, and thought the other end rotated to produce more pencil "lead." Nope. Then I used my excellent sharpener, which has worked for everything else...Nope. Was concerned that I was ruining my sharpener...I'll be returning the other Infallible gel mechanical liner I bought...too expensive for me...bought it for the grey color and waterproof feature.

Is the most horrible pencil I have ever purchased in my entire life and believe you may I’ve been wearing make up for 55 years. I’ve always loved L’Oreal‘s products but not this one. It’s soft it gives you too thick of a line then you can’t shape your line and definitely You can’t sharpen it and I can’t get it to come up anymore and I’ve only used it two times.

Along with most other comments … i was only able to use this about 5 times before it needed sharpening, it is very soft… and no luck doing that either. $10+ is a lot to pay for less than a week’s usage. It is a good product IF you can make it last long enough to be worthwhile, I do notice your answer is the same for most negative comments, but this does not offer a fix or refund.

When you use the 1/4 inch point before you sharpen it, it’s an OK product but once you try to sharpen it, it’s useless. The plastic that you sharpen is so hard that it mostly just breaks the eyeliner. I’ve purchased it twice,
Now I’m done!

I agree with everyone else. I liked it when I first started using it but once the usable part was gone I can’t get any more to come out of the tube so there’s nothing to sharpen. What a complete waste of money. Probably won’t be trying L’Oréal again.

This eye pencil needs a redesign!
9 months ago
Love the pencil when it's new, but trying to sharpen it is crazy. Loreal needs to change the design or something. Lots of customers have said the same thing.

Loved the eyeliner until it needed sharpening
10 months ago
I absolutely love how this eyeliner goes on and stays! It literally is the best eyeliner I have ever used…..for one week until it needs sharpening. I purchased it at Target and to be honest is was ridiculously expensive and now knowing I can’t get it to sharpen one week use vs the cost is a rip off. I’m so disappointed with L’Oréal. “If” it’s possible to sharpen it then they should include the sharpener that actualky works with it.
Would you purchase this again:No

Can't sharpen the pencil
10 months ago
I liked the way it went on. However, I was only able to use it twice because I could not sharpen the pencil. If I could sharpen the pencil I would purchase it again.

Hi there Nancy R! Thank you for reaching out to us about the Pro Last Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner. Despite the plastic-coated appearance of the Eyeliner, it can be sharpened with a cosmetic sharpener like the Dual Sharpener. For best results turn the pencil gently in the sharpener 3 or 4 times, being careful not to apply excess pressure. After sharpening, remove all shavings from the blade edge. Your sharpener should be replaced whenever the blade has dulled and is no longer giving the expected results. We hope this information helps!

Waste of money
10 months ago
The eyeliner is very soft and glides easily. But none the less this product is not worth purchasing due to the fact it is almost impossible to sharpen. The bottom of the pencil rotates which would indicate it will extend more of the eyeliner but it does not extend anything. It shouldn't even be there because it is confusing and frustrating. Once I figured out it doesn't work that way I tried to sharpen it. Total agrravation. It broke apart, sharp edges which ended up scraping my eyelid and was now unusable. I threw it in the trash. I will not buy this product again. Total waste of money.
Would you purchase this again:No

Your sharpener should be replaced whenever the blade has dulled and is no longer giving the expected results. We hope this information helps and you give it another try.

First-Grade Engineering!!! Why L’Oréal?
10 months ago
I didn’t read the reviews on this product until after I purchased it, and it wasn’t until I needed to sharpen it that I found that all of these 1-star reviews are correct! I love L’Oreal products, but how could this product ever pass any kind of Quality standard? My brand new pencil is unusable now because it will not sharpen!! I would like a refund as I was sold a product that is unusable after only a few uses. I can buy a pencil at the dollar store that sharpens better than this one!!!

Terrible Infallible Pro Last eyeliner pencil
11 months ago
I thought this was a twist up eyeliner pencil. I do not have a sharpener! Why wouldn’t you include that with the product? What a rip off after less than a week’s use and this was not an inexpensive product! Shame on you L’Oreal!
Would you purchase this again:No

Best eyeliner!
11 months ago
Thiis the best eyeliner! Was using an expensive one until someone on Instagram mentioned this one in brown. I use it on the top eyelashes slightly wink with a brush, and also tight line. On the bottom lashes I wear the bronze and wow! Best bronze for brown eyes. Last until I take it off. I use a small sharpener and have no problem sharpening it. Love!

L’Oreal infallible eyeliner had no product in it
11 months ago
What the heck? I just bought this and used it about five times and it won’t crank up anymore eyeliner! I have had this kind before and it has lasted for months and months and this lasted a week? I think I got a faulty one this is not acceptable for a company like L’Oreal. Very frustrating.

Cannot sharpen it
11 months ago
YOu cannot sharpen this pencil. IF you try it just eats it up. It chewed up the end the first time I sharpened it , leaving me with less than half the pencil left. Poor designe of plastic casing causes it to be a huge waste

2025 Reviews Correct: Not Self-Shapening! Grrrrr!!
11 months ago
What happened?? This product used to be self-advancing and is now just smoke, mirrors and trickery. I don't own a pencil sharpener because I DON'T BUY EYELINERS THAT CAN'T SHARPEN THEMSELVES. I will be switching brands and not looking back to this waste.

Hi Vurf! Thanks for reaching out to us regarding Pro Last Waterproof Eyeliner. We're sorry for any confusion but this product was never a self-advancing liner. This product must be sharpened with a cosmetic eye pencil sharpener.
