A sharp hobby knife/craft knife/scalpel does the trick for me!Www@QuestionHome@Com

a sharp knife or use a cosmetic eye pencil sharpener!. Don't forget to rinse it off so the person using it for their makeup doesn't get the pencil shaving on their makeup pencil!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

One of my old instructors used to make us sharpen our pencils with an x-acto knife and a piece sand paper!. First carve your pencil so you have a fair amount of the lead sticking out!. Then rub it across the sand paper at an angle!. Now you'll have a sharp tip and a broad edge, so you can make fine or thick lines with the same pencil!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
