Hi all :)
Can anyone recommend a good pencil sharpener for makeup pencils? I have tried a few, most recently one from Manicare and another from the Body Shop, but they seem to get blunt so quickly! I literally used the one from TBS twice, before it started 'screwing' the wood casing of the pencil - the wood was splintering and twisting and would not sharpen cleanly. The Manicare one was not much better. Any suggestions?

QUICK AND EASY BROWS!
I have been using this brow mascara for years now, and am still in love with it! I use it all the time, especially when I am in a rush, and need to do my brows fast!
Smells Refreshing
This is the first time I tried Blessed by Nature Face Cream . I have tried their cleanser before and I'm pretty much convinced the smells will always be refreshing.
matte lipstick , shade: Pink plaid
I have the matte lipstick in the shade pink plaid which is a beautiful matte pink shade with mauve undertones, when applied looks very retro, and is pretty long lasting.

I love love love the Maybelline one. Made in Germany I believe, with super sharp and good quality blades that don't get blunt easily. Always leaves my pencils and crayons with a clean point. Do give it a try if you get the chance! <3
I use Maybelline too. It's really good.
I use a sharpener by Nars and I absolutely love it. It never breaks my pencils. It has 2 different sized holes.

I like the Australis Sharpener!
Estee Lauder is brilliant, Sally. I thought all makeup sharpeners were pretty much the same but needed a small amount to get the Estee Lauder GWP some time ago so got the sharpener. I couldn't believe how good it is. I've used it with lip and eye pencils and all the brands I use, not just EL.
Estee Lauder is the best sharpener I've ever used and it lasted me 8 yrs+. They are worth the money.
I bought the Estée Lauder one too! $25 bucks ! I thought what a rip off haha but I can shove a blunt pencil in it and in one turn its sharp! Its pretty awesome
I’ve just gone onto their website and it’s only $15. Is it the same one?
Yes this is it!! Sorry I had the price wrong haha I knew it was a lot but I suppose now it seems cheap haha sorry ! Xx
No that’s alright. I wanted to see if they had any gwp offers and I noticed price difference. I want to make sure it’s the right one.
Thanks so much for all the replies, I'll check out your suggestions :) :)
Mine is a guerlain one I got with a lipstick I bought ages ago - I'm sure they sell it on its own and its fabulous! I bought it over 10 years ago and still works perfectly!
Great topic. The sharpener I have is a cheapie and does not do a good job. I didn’t realise that you could get ones that would sharpen properly and was going to resign myself to buying twist ups only in future.
I'm also on the hunt for a decent sharpener, I put aside time this morning to go through and sharpen all my pencils and it was a disaster. The Estee Lauder one looks perfect.
I just love a crisp sharp point to get that perfect line so a decent sharpener will be worth the investment.
I use one from Benefit and it looks like the EL one without the blue lid. I think it's quite good. I haven't tried the EL one but it's handy when you are a few dollars off from qualifying GWP
great topic, I need a new one and this thread has help me a lot. Thank you all.
Nyx, EL or Urban Decay although try and find one with Solingen steel.
