Sun's Out Beauty Precision 2-in-1 Cosmetic Pencil Sharpener

The very best sharpener I've ever used and now the only one I purchase. I'm an actor, certified MUA, and makeup enthusiast so my pencils are used professionally and for everyday life constantly. This makes sharpening a breeze. It sharpens consistently and doesn't over-sharpen unless you deliberately do that so you don't ruin tips easily. It also does an excellent job of sharpening even the most difficult of hard plastic outer shells. There have been many times when a cheap plastic sharpener would not cut into the plastic layer and made the pencil feel like it can't be sharpened but this one always does the trick. I recommend it for everyone from the makeup newbie to pros needing an essential staple in their kit to get the sharpest lines, sturdiest build, and easiest time sharpening any pencil they need. It works fast and efficiently and cleaning is very easy. I keep two in my professional kit and two at home so I'm never without it.

Perfect sharpener. So precise. I was using a pencil sharpener to sharpen my lip liner, which was a horrible idea. This one is sharp. Works like a dream.

Worth the price. Sharpens cosmetic pencils evenly and efficiently with less waste. Cheaper sharpeners chew up the pencil, or break it, or don’t sharpen evenly or cleanly. This one does the job very well.

This will last a lot longer than the plastic ones plus the blades are sharp and you have 2 different sizes to sharpen.

Love this product. Really sharpens your pencils and lasts much longer than plastic sharpers!

Very nice sharpener.

I was dubious about this sharpener. Then I got it and tried it. I’d give it 10 stars! The razor cuts into wood like knife to butter. It is easy and smooth. I tried it on all sorts of pencils. The result was the same, smooth shaving. What I like about it is that the exposed wood portion is short, see pic with white circles (because it is designed for cosmetics). The exposed lead portion is also not too long, which I prefer to prevent lead from breaking when applying pressure. I tried it on my 2 lip liners that I don’t need a fine point. The result was also to my liking. I put a cheap watercolor pencil set to the test (see pic). Each one I was able to get a fine point. This is very helpful with color pencils to get tiny area colored. This sharpener works way better than the Staedtler sharpener and my two electric sharpener. All the colored pencils, charcoal pencils, and lead pencils I tried, none had a lead break while using this sharpener. I am very much sold on this product to keep my pencils as sharp as possible.

This is the best cosmetic sharpener I've used! It sharpens my Artist Color Pencil perfectly with no problems. The pencil turns out neatly sharpened with few effort and the shavings come out clean. I also appreciate the different size holes in case I happen to buy a bigger pencil. DEFINITELY recommend!
