I've used it a few times, but I haven't sharpened it at all. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, as it has been stored by a non-professional. BABYMEE's Nuance Color Liner is a color liner that adds a subtle color to the eyes, creating a lovely, smudged finish. This item is a 2-way type that can also be used as a pencil eyeliner, and can be blended within 20 seconds of application to be used as an eyeshadow. The terracotta orange color is a perfect blend of pearl and brown, which will add warmth to your eyes. The pencil lead is soft and easy to draw with, making it ideal for expanding your makeup options. Shape...Pencil type Features...Color liner
