Agreed! It's really more work than it needs to be to just sharpen the pencil. I should be able to just sharpen it without it being in the freezer first.
ysnc12 or they could at least just write on the pencil that you can sharpen it. I looked and it doesn’t say anything. I found this video googling if it could be sharpened, ugh.
Omg thank you! I've been using these pencils for years and my sister just recently told me that you can sharpen them. I felt sooo dumb because I've been throwing them away after they became unsharp. I've always wondered why they didn't have a lot of product... little did I know they could sharpen! I have probably thrown away about 50 pencils that were not sharpened!!! Regrets of a makeup lover... but thank you, now I know!
I've been passing by these pencils at target but decide not to get them because I thought there was so little product lol I guess we can sharpen it like a normal pencil xD going to target tomorrow!
This just popped up on my TH-cam feed 😂 I watch all of your channels and have for years and I’ve never had an old video like this pop up! I had to come watch ❤❤
I literally just sat for 10minutes trying to figure out how to get more product out😅I didn't think that you could sharpen them either because I thought it was plastic😂😂
THANK YOU!! I bought a ton of these to try and after using them a few times, there was no product left at the top and most people told me I had to buy a new one!
I am so happy I found this video! I bought a Sharpener from Covergirl that had both the small and the jumbo slot and it would not fit. So, I bought the sharpener from NYX itself and it fir but would not sharpen. I just tried this tip and it worked! Thank you so much, because I was going to throw it out and did not want to have to waste the product and buy another one. You're awesome!
If putting it in the freezer doesn't help, I transfer it to a chapstick container. I have the shade milk that I melted in the microwave then took an empty chapstick and poured it into the container. Let it cool in the freezer for a couple mins and it was good to go. It screws up perfectly and no more sharpening!
Yes, this is the best video EVER! I JUST bought 4 of these and had no idea it was a wood or light base!! Ulta doesn't really explain it! Thankyou thankyou thankyou ❣❣❣❣❣❣
Same! I was trying to twist the bottom, because it looks like there's a thin tube of the stuff in there that needs pushing up. I have the regular pencil size in linen and LOVE it. The formula is great and stays on great. I'm glad I watched this before trying to sharpen it! Thanks
so GLAD i came across this video, a few days ago i tried to sharpen my jumbo pencil && I legit almost threw it away!! thank you so much for this tip!! you saved me the heartbreak lol.
I thought my jumbo pencils couldn't sharpen bc it looked like it had plastic at the top. So I never tried sharpening it. But I tried after watching this video .. omg u can sharpen the ones with plastic at the tip
I have some that are too big for any sharpener! That's what I hoped you were going to show. Wet and wild has one called a body pencil that's white like the milk pencil. I always had put my NYX in the fridge overnight before sharpening. Freezer works too!
Thank you so much. I was so upset when I tried to sharpen the pencil and it didn't work, but thanks to you doing this video now I know to put them in the freezer. I do wish NYX can make them better to where you don't have to. Thanks!!
I think thats because it was a voice over. Watch another one of my videos, I think youll change your mind:) and It makes that hard so that they can sharpen. Idk if youve ever used them but without that theyre VERY creamy and get mashed up.
Hi, that you for your video. I bought 2 of these last week and forgot that I didn't want to buy pencils anymore because of the sharpening and wanted to only buy the retractable ones. I saw this white one and really liked it, and then remembered why I didn't want these kinds of pencils anymore, so thank you :)
I'm trying this now thank you so much eyeball endless jumbo pencils and endless sharpeners hopefully this works! Thank you I'll leave a comment if it did
Yeah...this technique real works for make up pencils. I think its because make up pencils contain wax and when you put them somewhere cold that will harden the wax hence making it easier to sharpen. I've known this since I was 14-16 years old and I'm now turning 40 and I still do this technique. Thanks for uploading!
Thank you. So helpful! I didn't want my eye pencil getting all smashed and messy. I love the jumbo eye pencil in milk, but used it everyday for near three weeks and i didn't know what to do to keep it from messing up when I sharpened it. :)
Yaay I'm so grateful, I have so many pencils I love that I have not used since I couldn't twist or sharpen them.. I was so mad.. Thank you so much! I just subscribed. 😊💕
+Kendall Rae Hey Kendall. Just want to know your views on this, that don't you think that the crayons get wasted a lot, because the middle stick gets shaved too while using the sharpener. I have purchased my first ever crayon lip color, and want to know your thoughts on this concern.
By accident ran across a comment on Amazon.. shrugged it off and kept shopping! Now I see what was going on! Ty!! Just ordered a bunch of NXY Jumbo eyeliner pencils.. You saved me from almost missing out. It’s Prime Day! Sales galore. Pencils are 2.38-4.99 on Amazon.. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😁
Thank you! I wouldn't have thought to put it in the freezer. I have thrown away and avoided buying jumbo pencils for this very reason - they were impossible to sharpen well!
I was so confused! I've been trying to twist them up forever! Ty
+Mikayla Snow omgg me too
me too lol
i broke three of them.
Sameeee I just sat for 10 minutes trying to figure out how to get more product out😅😂
Mikayla Snow omg me too!!!
9 yrs later and you are still teaching people how to sharpen these! Thank you so much 💕
Girl literally same😂 about 9 years of not knowing
Ten years now
11 years for me 😊
this is the most important video on youtube.. thumb up
yasmeen hashem 👌🏾 real stuff I was confused 😐
Agreed! This is such a good tip for all the makeup pencils that are made in a similar fashion with he soft plastic that can be sharpened!
@@jeanams07 👍
Omg thank you soo much!! I was always like "Maybe I'm just not twisting hard enough! :("
Yup that's what I did and I broke it 😂
+cassie joosten i broke it too :(
Same
Maria Kristina Constante xD me too!
Maria Kristina Constante right lmao
They really should just make them retractable 🙄
Agreed! It's really more work than it needs to be to just sharpen the pencil. I should be able to just sharpen it without it being in the freezer first.
ysnc12 or they could at least just write on the pencil that you can sharpen it. I looked and it doesn’t say anything. I found this video googling if it could be sharpened, ugh.
I complete feel wasteful sharpening a MAC lip liner. Like you could have used those you sharpened.
Facts
I'm such a dumbass. I thought my twist up was broken at the bottom....thank god I found this video :D
ohiosu55 me too
Sameeee
same!!
They really do look like they twist up
SAME
Nine years later and this is STILL a huge help.
Thank you. 🎉
And I kept twisting the base... real hard that I can actually give myself blister
Omg thank you! I've been using these pencils for years and my sister just recently told me that you can sharpen them. I felt sooo dumb because I've been throwing them away after they became unsharp. I've always wondered why they didn't have a lot of product... little did I know they could sharpen! I have probably thrown away about 50 pencils that were not sharpened!!! Regrets of a makeup lover... but thank you, now I know!
me too!! lol
Omg!! I was about to do the same!!! Lol!
MonaLisa Yang OMG... ME too. I feel like an ass now :-(
I've been passing by these pencils at target but decide not to get them because I thought there was so little product lol I guess we can sharpen it like a normal pencil xD going to target tomorrow!
MonaLisa Yang oh no! 😂😂
This just popped up on my TH-cam feed 😂 I watch all of your channels and have for years and I’ve never had an old video like this pop up! I had to come watch ❤❤
This is about to be a game changer for me.
OMG I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY SHARPENED!! AHAHAHA GIRL THANKYOU!!
I literally just sat for 10minutes trying to figure out how to get more product out😅I didn't think that you could sharpen them either because I thought it was plastic😂😂
+Camilla Thomhav hahhahahahah yessssssss
+Winnie J I feel so dumb😂😂
+Camilla Thomhav omg sammmmeee
+Winnie J you're very pretty btw😊
A blast from the past. This video randomly showed up on my algorithm.
same here haha
This just showed up on mine too😂😂
THANK YOU!! I bought a ton of these to try and after using them a few times, there was no product left at the top and most people told me I had to buy a new one!
LoloTheModel oh god, think about the waste of product 😰
Dude hilarious
Im so glad I could help! :)
I am so happy I found this video! I bought a Sharpener from Covergirl that had both the small and the jumbo slot and it would not fit.

Thank you so much, because I was going to throw it out and did not want to have to waste the product and buy another one. You're awesome!
Thank you so so much!! i thought that they only gave the products shown at the tip bc it is not a twist-up! THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW 😙
Awe thank you! Thats such a nice compliment!
If putting it in the freezer doesn't help, I transfer it to a chapstick container. I have the shade milk that I melted in the microwave then took an empty chapstick and poured it into the container. Let it cool in the freezer for a couple mins and it was good to go. It screws up perfectly and no more sharpening!
good idea!
So you transferred the content in the chapstick container? How do you use it?
@@shashikumar-uw6uu I assume they use their fingers if they're using it all over, and using a brush if they're using it as an eyeliner?
I was so annoyed bc I thought they were twist up but thanks for the awesome tip!
yes so did I lol
Yesss!! thank you so much for this..I've been wondering how to get them sharp without messing up the actual product!
I seriously love your two minute tips. They are so helpful!
Idk why this popped up on my recommended feed but I’m here for it
Yes, this is the best video EVER! I JUST bought 4 of these and had no idea it was a wood or light base!! Ulta doesn't really explain it! Thankyou thankyou thankyou ❣❣❣❣❣❣
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY I’VE THROWN AWAY OVER THE YEARS??!! I’m so excited 😭!!
Ok I love you for this!
Of course! Have a good night!:)
Same! I was trying to twist the bottom, because it looks like there's a thin tube of the stuff in there that needs pushing up. I have the regular pencil size in linen and LOVE it. The formula is great and stays on great. I'm glad I watched this before trying to sharpen it! Thanks
I love I just got recommended this 😂💕
kendall this is so cute
Best tip I've had all week.....possibly all month. Great vid!!

I thought my jumbo pencils couldn't sharpen bc it looked like it had plastic at the top. So I never tried sharpening it. But I tried after watching this video .. omg u can sharpen the ones with plastic at the tip
hahahah thats too funny. I could see why though, they look like they wouldn't sharpen. Thanks for watching :)
I have some that are too big for any sharpener! That's what I hoped you were going to show. Wet and wild has one called a body pencil that's white like the milk pencil. I always had put my NYX in the fridge overnight before sharpening. Freezer works too!

Brilliant! Now the key is to get a sharpener that fits. Most jumbo sharpeners don't fit the NYX pencils. Thanks for the tip.
I think thats because it was a voice over. Watch another one of my videos, I think youll change your mind:) and It makes that hard so that they can sharpen. Idk if youve ever used them but without that theyre VERY creamy and get mashed up.
You saved us newbies to makeup🙂...bless you
