Description
Dual pencil sharpener for standard and jumbo makeup pencils
A blunt eyeliner or brow pencil produces a vague, imprecise line—exactly what you do not want for a sharp wing or hair-fine brows. And the wrong pencil sharpener can make the problem worse: it tears away the pigment, causes the tip to break, or creates an uneven point that applies pigment inconsistently. For optimal precision work with pencils, a good, sharpener is therefore just as important as the pencil itself.
The Youngblood Duo Pencil Sharpener is specially designed to keep both sizes of makeup pencils in the range sharp. The sharpener has two openings—one for standard-size pencils such as eyeliner and brow pencils, and one for jumbo/thicker pencils such as chubby lip liners. This gives you one tool for all the pencils in your routine, resulting in a consistently sharp, even point.
Benefits
- Two openings for both standard and jumbo makeup pencils
- Sharp stainless steel blades for a clean, even point
- Prevents pencil tips from breaking thanks to the precision-ground angle
- Compact size, convenient to carry in your makeup bag
- Compatible with virtually all standard-size pencils on the market
Features
Two sharpening openings in one tool: This is the key to why the Youngblood Duo Pencil Sharpener is so practical. One opening fits standard eyeliners and brow pencils; the other is specially designed for jumbo/chubby pencils such as thick lip liners and jumbo eye pencils. This means you no longer need to own two separate sharpeners.
Precision stainless steel blades: The blades of the Youngblood Pencil Sharpener are made of hardened steel and stay sharp for a long time. They cut the pigment evenly instead of tearing it, which is crucial for soft pencils with a cream or kohl formula.
Prevents the tip from breaking: The angle at which the blades are positioned is carefully calculated to prevent the tip from breaking during sharpening. This is especially important for soft cream formulas—they often break halfway when sharpened with the wrong sharpener, causing you to lose unnecessary product.
Compact black design: The compact size fits comfortably in any makeup bag or travel case. The black design complements the rest of the Youngblood tools, such as the Lash Curler and Luxe Brushes.
How to use it
- Choose the right opening: standard for eyeliner and brow pencils, jumbo for thicker lip liners or chubby eye pencils
- Place the pencil in the opening and slowly and evenly turn the pencil—not the sharpener
- Turn until the tip has a clean, sharp point; never force it
- Remove the shavings regularly and discard them for optimal flow
- Store the pencil sharpener neatly in your makeup bag after use
Caring for your pencil sharpener
Clean the Youngblood Duo Pencil Sharpener regularly by tapping out the shavings and gently wiping the blades with a tissue or cotton swab. If there is visible product buildup, clean the blades with a drop of mild alcohol—this removes both sebum and pigments that can make the blades seem dull. Replace the sharpener when the blades are visibly dull and pencils no longer sharpen cleanly (usually after 1 to 2 years with daily use).

- Jumbo and chubby lip liners, kohl pencils, and eye pencils

Frequently asked questions
Does the Youngblood Duo Pencil Sharpener also work with pencils from other brands?
Yes, in virtually all cases. The two openings are made to the standard international sizes for makeup pencils—one for the classic slim format (approximately 8 mm in diameter) and one for jumbo/chubby formats (approximately 12 mm). Most makeup brands follow this standard, so the Youngblood Pencil Sharpener is compatible with most eyeliner, brow, lip, and eye pencils on the market.
Why does my eyeliner tip still break, even with a good sharpener?
If a cream or kohl pencil repeatedly breaks during sharpening, the formula is often too warm or too soft. Place the pencil in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes before sharpening—the color becomes slightly firmer and is less likely to break. Also, make sure to turn the pencil while sharpening, not the sharpener itself, and turn it without applying pressure. The Youngblood Duo Pencil Sharpener is specifically designed to prevent breakage, but this extra step helps with extremely soft formulas.
Can I replace the sharpener’s blades?
No, the blades are not removable or replaceable. When you notice that the sharpener no longer cuts cleanly—pencils start splintering and the tip no longer becomes truly sharp—that is a sign that the blades have become dull and it is time for a new sharpener. With proper care, the sharpener lasts 1 to 2 years with daily use.
