Dear Constant Reader,
Happy Friday! I’m at BurlyCon right now, but I wouldn’t forget your tip.
A sharp pencil is a more useful pencil.
Keep your cosmetic pencils nice and sharp.
A fine point will give you more control. Also, you’re exposing a fresh, clean surface.
There are a couple of different sharpeners pictured above. There’s a traditional square one. I also have one of those with a wide hole for fat pencils as well as a smaller one, but I have no idea where it is. The white pencil came with a cap with a built-in sharpener, which is very convenient, although you need to be careful handling it. The two-part one was a gift from Betty Blaize. It’s also a pencil cap with a built-in sharpener, but the blade is protected in a cover, so you don’t hurt yourself blindly groping around in your makeup case. Not that that’s every happened to me.
Oh, The Glamourous Life!
