Hi ladies I'm wondering if any of you know of a particular brand or style of pencil sharpener that works particularly well and gives you a sharp enough point? I've got a couple but none of them give me a sharp enough points on my eye pencils for me to do really defined looks. your help is really appreciated.

I just use a NYX two-sized pencil sharpener and it works well enough for me. I also chill the pencils I'm sharpening in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes before I sharpen them. They get a finer point without crumbling or breaking! (Got this tip from Em L. on here!) It really helps me =)

Art quality sharpener my hubby bought while attending university for architecture. Best sharpener ever! Before this I used a similar one that was metal, I got it with a box of graphite pencils. I think art ones COULD be the way to go if you wanna save money (no cosmetic company label) but still get something suuuuper sharp! I may have just gotten lucky though :/
