Looking for a decent eyebrow pencil sharpener

I use a craft knife.

I use a normal, metal pencil sharpener that I bought from a local stationers.

Monica - I don't trust myself after a few mishaps.

I use a normal, metal pencil sharpener that I bought from a local stationers.

Yes, that's what I was looking for but my stationers had none in stock. Maybe try another week.

Thanks for your help both.

I bought mine in Superdrug. It’s pink plastic and works fine.

Do you not shop on line? There are thousands to choose from on Ebay or Amazon.

Following this.

Body Shop sharpener

To sharpen my eyebrow pencil I manage with uneven sharpening as follows. I don't apply the point of the pencil as usually there is no actual point due to problem with sharpening.

I hold the pencil horizontally so the business end , the uncovered part, is long which also gives a more natural effect than does a sharp line.

BTW I insert the pencil into the larger hole of the pencil sharpener.

Boots No7 is the best I've found since I can't get the Bourjois one any more.

I have looked online but prices are ridiculous for what it is. My Boots didn't have any but been in Asda today and they now have a very small stock of one type of pencil sharpeners which I bought but it's rubbish, left a sharp piece of the outer and decimated the liner. Hence why I'm reluctant to buy online.

Put all your eye and lip pencils in the freezer and use a metal pencil sharpener, however, the pencils that have blades in the protective caps are great!

Yep, I do that but they still chop into the wood surround. Oh for the days of being the pencil sharpener monitor which was clamped to the side of teachers's desk and had a big handle for turning

I stopped using a pencil a few years ago because my hand was too unsteady, I found a lovely little eyebrow compact from Benefit, it has eyebrow powder, eyebrow wax and two little brushes one curved and one angled. It wasn’t cheap but it has lasted for ages and gives a great result that looks more natural than pencil.

Thank you everyone for your advice.

I couldn't get on with the pencils and for years I've used Incredibrow in the Collection range. It works like a lip liner. it goes on easily, lasts all day and is really cheap.

Plentu online and in shops. Where on earth are you looking? Boots etc all have them

I use a retractable powder for my eyebrows and a retractable smudgy pencil for eyeliner because I got fed up of trying to sharpen pencils and finding I was left with a scratchy wood bit or if I continued to sharpen it ended up breaking

I went to a local retail park & none had any which was odd. I've since found and bought 3 separately after finding each one doesn't do the job on the eyeliner pencil hence why I'm reluctant to buy online and waste more money. I'd checked the Body shop online but they don't show any for sake. Shame because I was happy with their last one. Think I'll go back to the retractables which I find don't last long. Oh well more to worry about in life eh. Thanks all and have a good day.

You don't need eye brow pencils anymore.
You need a microblading pen it like a mini fork and it paints on eyebrow 'hairs'. See Ebay they are inexpensive.

Over the past 14 years I have used two Gosh eyebrow pencil sharpeners. Used to be stocked in Superdrug but now online. I use their pencils to.

Agree - boots are best - a proper one for the job, not a stationery one

Try Avon ..

Brilliant advice dollyrocker!
