Product Information
Full details
The Jane Iredale Eye Pencil in Basic Black is designed for individuals seeking a gentle yet effective eye-defining tool. Its key benefit is a soft, mineral-based formula that glides on without tugging, making it ideal for sensitive skin. A potential caveat is that its ultra-softness might require more frequent sharpening for a precise line compared to harder pencils. This pencil offers smudge- and crease-resistant color with conditioning ingredients for comfortable wear.

FAQs
Is this pencil suitable for contact lens wearers?

How do I remove the eye pencil?
The eye pencil can be easily removed with any gentle facial cleanser or a dedicated eye makeup remover.
Can I use this pencil on my waterline?
Yes, the ultra-soft, conditioning formula is gentle enough for the waterline. Its longevity on the waterline may vary depending on individual eye chemistry.
What is the shelf life of the eye pencil after opening?
Generally, cosmetic pencils are recommended to be used within 12-24 months of opening for optimal performance and hygiene.
Does the 'Basic Black' pencil contain any shimmer?
No, the 'Basic Black' shade provides a matte or satin finish without any shimmer, offering a classic black line.
Is this pencil waterproof?
The pencil is described as smudge- and crease-resistant, but not fully waterproof. It may not hold up to significant moisture or rubbing.
Troubleshooting
Pencil feels too soft or breaks while sharpening.
Ensure you are using a sharpener specifically designed for soft cosmetic pencils. Sharpen gently and slowly. If the product has been exposed to extreme heat, allow it to cool in a refrigerator for a short period before sharpening.
Color is not opaque enough in one swipe.
Apply a second thin layer. For more intense color, try gently smudging the first layer before applying the second.
Smudging occurs shortly after application.
Allow the product to set for a minute or two after application before touching the area. For extended wear, consider setting the liner with a matching eyeshadow using a fine-tipped brush.
