Are you supposed to sharpen pencil liner like you would a regular pencil? I used a pencil sharpener and i basically… sharpened it into oblivion. It would not sharpen. It would just keep breaking off. Now i’m left with a chode for a pencil. Still not sharp.

      The angle on a pencil sharpener is much pointier than one for eyeliner pencils, so more product is exposed and it’s more prone to snapping off. They’re almost always <$10

    Try popping it in the fridge for a few minutes before you sharpen but ive noticed mine broke too before using just any regular sharpener and tip looked smooshed until i got a free sharpener from Charlotte Tilbury with my purchase and my pencil comes out sharp too and hardly any breakages.Maybe the regular sharpener isnt the right tool for our beauty pencils and theyre not too dear.

    Uhhh… Well I’m afraid I don’t want to answer that question.

    You can harden the kohl by putting the eyeliner in the fridge for a little bit, the freezer might be too cold and damage it.

    Buy a eyeliner sharpener, the regular pencil ones make a tip that’s too thin

    And with a proper sharpener, I still go around about twice, then quickly pull out. Some pencils will allow you to spin forever, and that’s not good.
