This Sharpener Will Improve Your Eyeliner and Lip Liner Application

From camera-ready, sharp eyeliner where precision is under scrutiny, to shading the perfect ombre lip look with ease, read along to learn how the features of the ESUM Dual Pencil Sharpener will help to create your best eyeliner and lip pencil looks, and improve your makeup application.

One of the best ways to enhance and define eyes is by using a pencil eye liner. Eye liner comes in a variety of colors to shade, highlight, or add a pop of color. With color also comes a variety of eyeliner styles to choose from depending on the eye makeup look you’re going for. From graphic, winged to smoky eyeliner and more, the ESUM Dual Pencil Sharpener makes each style possible and will allow you to customize your eye pencil shape from an exact pointed tip or soft rounded tip with its unique pencil tip former. Before you sharpen anything, take note of the removable ring adaptor to adjust to your chubbier pencil's circumference. For a sharp pointed tip, push the white tip former down. This feature is essential when achieving a precise eyeliner look or when going for a graphic eyeliner to ensure you’re able to achieve the look you desire whether for a photoshoot or special event like a wedding. For a smokier effect to eyes, take advantage of the rounded tip option. For a rounded tip, push the white tip former up. For the perfect smoky date night makeup, a smudged eye look is a quick and easy way to utilize your eye pencil in combination with the ESUM Dual Pencil Sharpener to create a sultry effect. Conveniently designed, a precision cleaning pick is included to clear shavings from the blade so you can keep it mess free.

No matter if you’re a professional makeup artist, makeup lover or beginner, using a lip liner is an important step in any makeup application. Regardless of where you are at in your makeup journey, long-wear and ease of application are just a few non-negotiable qualities to look for when understanding how lip liner can benefit your lipstick application. Shaping or lining the lips can be a challenging task, so by making sure that your lip pencil is as precise as possible will help make this application process easier. Designed with a premium stainless steel blade imported from Germany, the ESUM Dual Pencil Sharpener works with both wood or plastic pencil barrels. As mentioned, push the white tip former up to achieve a sharp and pointed tip. This precision is important for many kinds of makeup looks where the smallest details matter such as bridal makeup to red carpet makeup. For editorial makeup or creative makeup, an ombre lip, where there is a graduation of color from light to dark, is popular in giving the illusion of fuller lips. To achieve this, you can begin by lining lips with a sharp, pointed pencil tip then alternate to the rounded when filling in all over the lips. The rounded tip will allow for a smoother all over application that replicates lipstick, making it a well-known makeup hack for makeup artists. This technique not only allows for an exploration of creativity but guarantees for a longer lasting lip color, when layered underneath traditional lipstick or lipgloss. Keep in mind that this sharpener features one hole for traditional size pencils and a second hole for chubby sized pencils with a removable ring adaptor to adjust to pencil circumference, for a fully customized experience. In addition to the many benefits discussed here, the ESUM Dual Pencil Sharpener comes in a sleek and lightweight casing making it easy to spot in your kit, makeup bag, or vanity.

Now that you have a clear understanding on how to use the ESUM Dual Pencil Sharpener, it’s important to learn how to keep it in tip-top shape. To avoid product buildup getting clogged in the sharpener, use the cleaning pick to clear the pencil shavings from the blade and in hard to reach places. Over time, leftover eye and lip pencil remnants can be difficult to clean, so keeping up with this quick process after use will help to keep it clean. The design also features a snug and removable cover to contain shavings. Be sure to empty once it becomes full for an easy clean up.

It is no secret that pencil sharpeners are an essential tool to any makeup bag or makeup kit. What makes all the difference is the functionality of the beauty tools and their ability to improve makeup applications all across the board, no matter your skill. Eye liner and lip liner are two of the most versatile and key products for makeup artists and everyday makeup wearers due to the way they easily transform and complete any makeup look.
