I do not see how this can be sharpened. I've used it for about a week and it's nearly gone. I cannot see how to get more out of it.

I miss the dark green!
I love the espresso eyeliner. It locks in place and stays all day. There used to be a dark green shade in this eyeliner that I really miss! It was my go to eyeliner for my green eyes. I wish you would bring back the dark green!

Can't sharpen

I bought the But First Espresso eyeliner a couple of weeks ago. I've used it maybe 3 times and I love it, but there's no way to sharpen it or get more product out! As many others have commented before... the tip and pencil seem to be made of hard plastic, not wood, so sharpening it is impossible. There's no twist mechanism either to push the product up. Customer Service has responded to a few reviews saying just sharpen it. BUT IT IS PLASTIC! YOU CAN'T SHARPEN PLASTIC!!!! Please tell me if there is something I'm missing
great eye pencil
Doesn't smudge, or transfer to my eye hood skin like so many pencils do. (Yes, I am middle aged). Goes on smooth. Is not a 12 hour kind of product, but I love it! And it's cheap!!
Good but ran out
good for eyeliner and for water line but runs out VERY fast. I bought this eyeliner less than a month ago and have used it everyday and it's already out.
better than urban decay
urban decay has always budged and smeared into my inner corners, but this one has stayed all day!
