Sharpeners for eye and lip pencils

What sharpeners do you use? Do you have one for every different brand of pencil?

Are some better than others?

It's been driving me spare. I try to buy pencils that can be sharpened, so I use less plastic, but they either break, and there is a lot of wastage, to just won't sharpen, or else I end up with scratched eye lids from rogue bits of wood.

The Barry M one is great and cheap as chips. I’ve had done far more expensive ones which have been useless.

@JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon

You don't need a sharpener that is an exact fit, use one slightly too big, it is fine, just hold the pencil in the right position.
I’ve tried. Ended up with scratched eye lids.

I’m usually quite good with my hands, but make up pencils have me defeated.

I’ve found the Nars sharpener to be very good.

I've got a couple that came with stuff from Dior and Chanel but actually I have a fab one from Boots or the beauty section and Sainsburys or equivalent! It's got 2 different size holes and is perfect for the Nars lip pencils without which I cannot live Grin

The Mavala one is brilliant.

Another vote for Barry M here. My eye and lipliners live in the freezer tbh, otherwise I find they get squidgy very easily
