Each pencil comes with its own sharpener built into the pencil cap. They are easy to apply because they glide on soft like butter, so you don't have to pull hard on eyelids for precision, but it's firm enough for easy control of application.

Linda’s Beauty Tip: Using eyeliner as eye shadow
Whether it’s on the eyelid, crease, entire eye or under the brow, using eyeliner as eye shadow is simple to apply and offers the wearer long-lasting waterproof color that can be layered. There are an infinite number of simple ways to use eyeliner as eye shadow.

How To:
For all applications, it is recommended to dust translucent powder over the entire eyelid. The powder will help to spread, blend and set the color. Using the side of the pencil, gently shade in the area you want as shadow. Apply the pencil a bit darker than you want the final color to be. Then take any sized concealer brush and blend the color. Small brushes are preferable because they are easy to control. Use short, light strokes blending the edges up away from the majority of the color. This technique will spread the color to look like powder shadow but will have the benefit of a long lasting waterproof shadow. Plus, depending on how light or dramatic you want the shadow, you can blend several colors using this technique.

Use them as a base to hold powder shadow too. The powder color will look more dramatic and will adhere to the pencil base beautifully. Be creative and use the pencils as both liner and shadow together. Once all the color is applied, dust again with translucent powder to set the color.
