I’ve talked about the misery inflicted by my makeup pencil sharpener before, however I’m no longer livin’ that untidy life, since I just recently figured out exactly how to make it do much better by — book concept right here — cleaning it!
The option I stumbled on has two parts. First, I ditched my comprise For Ever, as well as UD Grindhouse, sharpeners for the no-frills Sephora sharpener shown at the top. It doesn’t have a built-in enclosure to catch the shavings, however that really forces me to toss the shavings in the trash after every use.

Those enclosures never seem to stay attached extremely well anyway, as well as they burst open no matter exactly how lots of rubber bands I wrap around them.
Second, as well as this part is key, I swipe the blades clean after every use. To facilitate this, I keep infant wipes from Costco around as well as normally end up utilizing one of those, however makeup wipes, a clean Q-Tip, tissue or a cotton pad (either soaked with a bit makeup remover, or just dry on its own) work too.
Doing this makes sure that there aren’t any type of errant makeup bits floating around, as well as consequently no transfer of color between eyeliners as well as lip pencils.

Seriously, why did this never happen to me before?! Oh, my gosh…
