Q: I purchased an eyeliner with a description that CLEARY reads it comes with a built-in sharpener. One Target Consult replies the eyeliner is self-sharpening, another suggests using the built-in sharpener. Which is it? I wish I could return it

submitted by Amey - 4 years ago
  • A: To sharpen it, wrench off the other end (white). Then cram a Q-tip into the tube to push out more of the pencil, so it's no longer a nub. Then use a pencil sharpener. Good luck!

    submitted byPam - 3 years ago
  • A: This is a great product, however not designed well! The gel tip is very soft. When you use a cosmetic sharpener it breaks off easily. Unfortunately, best to yank on white end and push up with a Q-tip.

    submitted byCustomer - 3 years ago
  • A: Hi Amey! This product is not self sharpening. The Almay All-Day Intense Gel Eyeliner can be sharpened with most sharpeners. I recommend using one designed for cosmetics so it doesn't eat up the product. Hope this helps!

  • A: Hi Amey, thank you for your question about our Almay All-Day Intense Gel Eyeliner. This product does not have a built-in sharpener. Thank you!

  • A: Moisten a Qtip with eyemake up remover, of better yet, baby mineral oil. Use it to clean the inside of your pencil sharpener, It will coat the inside of the sharpener for a perfectly sharpened pencil.

    submitted byAmeri - 10 months ago

Q: People keep asking this, and the response provided is not an answer. How do you get the product out of the pen? There is no option to twist it. It doesn't twist.

submitted by Almay not working - 4 years ago
  • A: It's a PENCIL you sharpen. Not a plastic pen type. I've been using this for years. Never had a problem. The white part is just a design, not a twist.

  • A: Use a cosmetic pencil sharpener. Coat the inside of the sharpener with a Qtip moistened with mineral oil or makeup remover. The pecil will get a sharper point that way even when the product is soft.

Q: The tip broke off when I dropped it and it looks like it's plastic how do you sharpen a tip that not there anymore??

submitted by Marsha - 3 years ago
  • A: Hello "Brand Exoert"!?! She said she has no tip!! It broke off!! Exactly how does sharpening it with a cosmetic sharpener feed the stick up??? Is that the only way??? Is it magical??? Please respond

Q: When I purchased this item in the past I was able to extend it by turning the bottom so it lasted a long time. This one does not have ability to extend so only lasts a few weeks. Why was it changed?

Q: When I twisted off the white cap at the end, it just broke off. Seems something is missing. There is no way to extend or sharpen the crayon. Can you please explain? I don't see the "built-in" sharpener you're referring to. Thanks!

Additional product information and recommendations

Guests are saying

The Almay All Day Intense Gel Eyeliner is praised for its rich colors and smooth application, making it a favorite among guests. However, many express frustration over the sharpening mechanism, which is not clearly indicated on the packaging. While the eyeliner offers long-lasting wear and is gentle on sensitive eyes, the difficulty in sharpening and limited product usage have led to mixed feelings. Guests appreciate the color variety and the product's performance but wish for clearer instructions and a more user-friendly design.

    Irritating

    This eyeliner is good BUT the All Day Grey has sparkles in it and it irratated my eyes. I have very sensitive blue eyes so this brand works for me not this color. I looked at the discription and nowhere does it say it has glittler that I can see. Total bummer. 2 stars for the shade not for this brand. This picture is of my hand, I trid to get the light to shine on the sparkles but I circled them too.

    Terrible design

    Had to buy this because I ran out of my revlon one and target didn’t sell it. Didn’t realize you need to own a sharpener To use this. Terrible design. Why not make it a twist? In the garbage it goes

    Unable to sharpen

    Poor design for sharpening. I will never buy again because I could only use it for a week. Big waste of money and I’m very disappointed because I love it otherwise.

    Poor quality

    I've used this eyeliner for a few years and the last 2 eyeliners I've purchased the quality has changed. Ive noticed that with sharpening that the liner color breaks off not leaving a point. If there is a bit of a pint it's not much. I causes scratching. Also if there is product to use it crumbles of the pencil. This maybe the last pencil I purchase.

    Almaty All Day Gel Eyeliner

    Bought a few weeks ago. Now useless. Cant sharpen. Love the plum color. Sadly, I can no longer use the Almay Eyeliner. A big waste of money.

    Beautiful color, absolutely no way to sharpen or advance the eyeliner from the packaging making the cost per use exorbitant.

    Amazing!

    Been using this eyeliner for over two years now, have had no issues sharpening! I just use a regular elf makeup sharpener and it works just fine. The eyeliner wears really well, and has all of the perks of a pencil, (application, ease of use) with the appearance of liquid liner. 10/10 would recommend, especially for sensitive eyes.

    good but you have to sharpen PLASTIC to get to it

    Been looking for ma dark purple gel eyeliner. Found this and absolutely fell in love with it. however, you can’t sharpen this??? i don’t understand. looked it up and you sharpen the plastic along with the gel? how’s that’s safe? also you need a special kind of sharpener. the ones that are square box with two different sizes will destroy it. this product is so good but i don’t understand how this was passed? fix it, do better.

    Do NOT buy; only useful for a few applications

    This does glide on and stay on, but the mechanism to advance/sharpen is AWFUL!! How in the world did this pass any kind of testing? Yes, you can place it in a full size pencil sharpener (not a usual small makeup sharpener) and get a really unusual point, but it clogs the pencil sharpener. I wanted this for travel, and it is WORTHLESS for that. At bare minimum, they should have instructions on sharpening on the website. What a waste of money!!!

    Waste of money

    This is too expensive for something you may only get a few uses out of. I purchased without realizing there is no way to advance the liner from the tube. Will not purchase again unless they change the design

    Poor design

    I am a lifelong customer… I bought this eye liner thinking I was getting an eyeliner that would move up as I twisted it! Well, sadly it is a plastic pencil and I have to figure out how to sharpen it! Ugh! I’m not going to bother! It’s going back to Target!

    Waste of Money

    Waste of money! I thought this twisted up. The gel eyeliner only has a small amount of eyeliner thus doesn't last very long. My pencil lasted about 2 weeks with daily use. How disappointing and what a waste of money. I purchased four of these online. I did like the looks of it and how it went on smoothly. Unfortunately, I will never buy this again.

    Ridiculous to Sharpen

    I recently purchased the Almay all day intense gel eyeliner because I was looking for a plum color. In order to sharpen the point of this pencil again, is the most ridiculous procedure I have ever encountered! I will never ever purchase this again!

    Like others have stated, I could only use it a couple weeks. Can’t figure out how to sharpen jr. Came here to find out. Apparently others have the same issue. Sucks.
