Troubleshooting
Eyeliner is not gliding smoothly.
Ensure the tip is properly sharpened using the built-in sharpener. If the product has been exposed to air for an extended period, it may have dried out slightly; try gently warming the tip on the back of your hand before application.
Eyeliner smudges easily after application.
Allow the liner to set completely (approximately 60 seconds) before touching or applying other eye makeup over it. Ensure you are using a primer if you have very oily eyelids.
The built-in sharpener is not working effectively.
Ensure you are twisting the correct end of the pencil. Clean any excess product from the sharpener's blades using a tissue or cotton swab. If the product has become very hard, it might be time to replace the eyeliner.
Waterline application is irritating.
Ensure the product is suitable for waterline use (this one is). Always use a clean, dedicated product for the waterline. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a professional.
