    I have a ModelCo liner with a sharpener attached to the lid, very handy 🙂

    I have a sharpener from Napoleon Perdis, I think at the time it cost $10-15 which I thought was expensive but I have had it for years.

    I think there is not much difference between the Napoleon one and a cheap one from coles or priceline etc, as long as it is designed to sharpen makeup pencils! 🙂

    Stationery ones are toxic for your make up pencils. It best to use a proper cosmetic one, plus you’ll have it forever, so its a good investment!

    There are cheaper ones available, take a browse around.

    I got my current eye/brow/lip liner sharpener at Coles. It’s the Coles brand, fits two sizes of pencil, and has that clip thing that it sharpens into so you can sharpen anywhere. I think it was $1.80 or something. It works really well! I found it near the hair clips section. Don’t judge me! It felt like a bargain!!

    oh, and it actually said “cosmetic sharpener” on it but let’s be realistic here: the razor isn’t going to be different between cosmetic and stationary sharpeners. If you only use one sharpener for cosmetics you’re safe.

    normal ones will probably fit a thin lip pencil but most eye pencils need a larger sized one. i think the generic priceline brand also makes one for about $6 or so

    Stationary ones don’t move! LOL
    Normal pencil sharpeners cannot accommodate the different sizes of eyeliner/ lipliner etc. If you buy specific makeup ones, they have different diameters for different pencils. They usually have two sizes in one sharpener.
    Mine is from Manicare for around the price you are looking for. You also get them at cheap shops (“my accessories” range) for less than $5.
