Product Information

Full details

The Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil in 708 Universal Earth is designed for makeup enthusiasts and professionals who need a versatile, multi-functional tool for their kit. Its primary benefit lies in its highly-pigmented, creamy formula that transitions seamlessly from lip liner to eyeliner or even blush, offering exceptional creative freedom. However, users should note that because it is a traditional wood pencil, it requires regular sharpening to maintain the precision needed for fine-line applications.

FAQs

Can this pencil be used on the waterline?

Yes, the creamy vegetal wax formula is generally safe for use on the waterline, but it is always best to ensure your eyes are not sensitive to cosmetic pencils before applying.

Is the 708 Universal Earth shade waterproof?

While the pencil is long-lasting, it is not explicitly marketed as waterproof. Expect it to be resistant to daily wear but removable with standard makeup remover.

Does it need a specific sharpener?

Any high-quality cosmetic pencil sharpener will work. Avoid using standard office pencil sharpeners as they may damage the soft wax tip.

Can I use this for contouring?

Yes, its creamy texture makes it excellent for precise contouring or adding depth to the hollows of the cheeks or the nose.

What is the best way to remove this product?

Use an oil-based makeup remover or a gentle micellar water to break down the highly pigmented formula effectively.

Troubleshooting

The pencil tip keeps breaking during sharpening.

Ensure your sharpener blade is sharp and avoid pressing too hard. You can also place the pencil in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before sharpening to firm up the wax.

The color is not applying smoothly.

The skin might be too dry. Apply a lightweight moisturizer or lip balm and wait a minute for it to absorb before applying the pencil.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely versatile for multiple face areas
  • Creamy texture that blends easily
  • High color saturation
  • Travel-friendly compact design

Cons

  • Requires manual sharpening
  • Wood casing may splinter if low-quality sharpener is used
  • Not retractable, leading to product waste if over-sharpened

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best results, ensure your skin is prepped and clean before application, as the creamy formula adheres best to moisturized but not greasy skin.

Care Instructions:

  1. Use a high-quality cosmetic pencil sharpener to maintain the tip.
  2. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the vegetal wax from melting or becoming too soft.
  3. Always replace the cap securely after use to prevent the tip from drying out.

Compatibility: The 708 Universal Earth shade is designed to be universally flattering, though it is recommended to test the color on your inner wrist first if you have specific sensitivities to pigments or waxes.
