My pencil eyeliner keeps breaking when i try to sharpen it, help!?

I've tried putting it in the freezer so it can sharpen better but it stills break when i sharpen it. any tips? My pencil eyeliner keeps breaking when i try to sharpen it, help!?
Try not to hit or drop the pencil because it breaks the thing inside so if you try doing that your eyeliner pencil will not break!My pencil eyeliner keeps breaking when i try to sharpen it, help!?
I would suggest buying an all new eyeliner, the one you have is obviously no good. If you are having a continious problem with pencil eyeliner, you could even switch to liquid eyeliner. It is a bit trickier, but once you have got the hang of it, it really is nice. If liquid isnt your thing, try getting a black (or whatever color eyeliner you are looking for) eyeshadow, and an angle eye brush, and apply like eyeliner. A trick to making the eyeshadow more like eyeliner; wet the brush a bit first. Using a mineral shadow, like miccabella, works best with a wet angle brush. There is even an eyeshadow that is meant to be turned into eyeliner with a wet brush at the makeup store : SEPHORA





HOPE I HELPED =)
I just switched to cream eyeliner and it works a million times better. Smooth like liquid, but not so harsh,has a soft clean finish. Won't break either, no sharpening, and lasts for months. I finally had it because I use to use a self sharpening pencil and kept crumbling.I thought the brush part of cream application was going to be hard, but it's easier than a pencil. MAC makes a good one, otherwise Sephora has them (and u can order online). U need a good brush too. Don't skimp cause it makes all the difference. Costs more at first, but it will last like a year. Probably around 15 for liner, and 15 for brush.
Your eyeliner could just be old and it's time for a new one, or your sharpener is to harsh, make sure you are using a sharpener for makeup pencils, any old sharpener wont do.
Perhaps it's not such a good eyeliner? Try buying a more expensive one (I don't want to sound like a high-brand freak but....).






i hate eyeliner sharpeners;


they don't seem to work;





try a regular pencil sharpener.
