Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil - 708 Universal Earth

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.

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.

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

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

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

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