Pro-Last Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner

Hi there! Please note that this pencil does not swivel. This new generation of gel liners provides great color payoff but needs a gentle touch to sharpen successfully. For best results, insert the pencil into the sharpener no more than 1/4 of an inch. If you push the pencil too far into the sharpener, the blade will grab too much and become difficult to sharpen. The goal is to shave off the resin in a thin curl to reveal more liner. The pencil should be sharpened frequently so that 3 or 4 gentle turns are sufficient to achieve the desired result. Replace sharpener when the blade has dulled and no longer sharpens smoothly. Sharpening this way will assure a perfectly tapered tip without any waste or loss of liner. Because the pencil is encased in plastic you may be applying more force than you should, assuming it will be tougher to sharpen. Pushing the pencil too far into the sharpener will cause the blade to grab too thick a chunk of the outer casing. Light pressure will keep a thin, continuous curl of plastic to shave off, leaving a perfect point. We hope this helps!

Hi there! This product is sharpenable and does not swivel. You can sharpen this with any cosmetic sharpener that has fresh, sharp blades. Thanks for your question!

Hi there! Despite the plastic-coated appearance, it can be sharpened with a cosmetic sharpener. The plastic used on the rest of the liner is no harder to sharpen than any other pencil. To provide the high pigment pay off, there is more pigment and less wax making the pencil soft. This kind of liner keeps best in resins like those used to make the casing for this pencil. Thank you for reaching out!
