How to sharpen makeup pencil without sharpener

Professional cosmetic sharpener is a device specifically designed for sharpening makeup pencils. It is usually compact and easy to use, with a sharpening mechanism that is gentle on the pencil tip to prevent breakage.

Professional cosmetic sharpeners typically have two or three sharpening holes with different diameters to accommodate different pencil sizes. They also often have a removable cover to catch the shavings and prevent mess.

Using a professional cosmetic sharpener is simple: insert the pencil into the appropriate sharpening hole and twist it gently until the desired sharpness is achieved. Always be careful not to over-sharpen the pencil, as this can cause it to break or become too thin to use.

There are a few ways to sharpen a cosmetic pencil without a sharpener:

Use a knife: Hold the pencil in one hand and a sharp knife in the other hand. Carefully shave off the dull tip of the pencil with the knife, rotating the pencil as you go. Be sure to only shave off a little bit at a time to avoid over-sharpening.

Use sandpaper: Find a piece of sandpaper and fold it in half, rough side out. Hold the pencil at a slight angle and rub the tip against the sandpaper in a circular motion. Keep rotating the pencil as you go and check the tip frequently to make sure it's sharp enough.

Use a nail file: If you don't have sandpaper, you can also use a nail file to sharpen your cosmetic pencil. Hold the pencil at a slight angle and gently file the tip in one direction. Be careful not to file too hard or you may break the tip.

Remember to always be careful when sharpening your cosmetic pencil by hand. It's important to take your time and only remove a little bit of the pencil at a time to avoid over-sharpening or breaking the tip.
