Love the product. HATE the presentation
Love the product but hate the presentation. After opening the first 4 lines it's impossible to sharpen the pencil, I've tried so many different sharpeners always with the same result: the middle breaks apart and smudges all over the sharpener, the otter layer chips and it's a hazard to try to put it next to your eyeballs ever again....but those few lines at the beginning are perfection!!! I got the bronze and the color last all day. Really hope the presentation would change for a plastic twist pencil or something functional

Hello! Thank you for sharing your feedback on our Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner. We are so glad to hear you love the Bronze shade and its incredible all-day staying power, but we are truly sorry for the frustration you've experienced with sharpening! While the exterior may feel like plastic, it is a sharpenable material designed to be used with a high-quality cosmetic sharpener. To help prevent the creamy core from smudging or breaking, we suggest placing your pencil in the refrigerator for a few minutes before sharpening to firm up the formula. We have shared your specific comments regarding the pencil design with our product development team for future consideration, and if you need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to us through our contact page here: https://tinyurl.com/ybvo7kfa. We hope these tips help you continue to achieve your perfect, sophisticated look with L'Oréal Paris!

Sharpening solution for pro last eye pencil
Love this pencil. It glides on easy because it's a soft pencil. I was a bit disappointed when I saw the only way to advance the pencil was to use a sharpener because soft pencils usually crumble in a sharpener. I read the reviews and this was always the complaint. The company came back with " use a sharpener, don't push the pencil while sharpening, turn slowly 3-4 times". So I tried that making sure it did not grab the soft part but only the black casing around the soft pencil part. It worked! The key is to not push the pencil into the blade. Insert it but don't jamb the end.. Gently turn it like they say. It will grab the black casing and do it's job.

Best pencil ever!!
I went onto the L’Oréal website to find the name of the pencil I use cause my husband bought the wrong one. I use this pencil so much I’m down to about an inch left of it. To the reviews that mentions that it doesn’t sharpen I’m confused, like what sharpeners are you guys using. I have a cheap 4 sharpener from maybelline and it sharpens my pencil perfectly every time. This is my 12th pencil I’ve purchased and I honestly hope these reviews won’t discontinue it.

Tip is too wide and short lived
The liner tip only lasted a couple of weeks. The top of the pencil twists but the pencil does not extend. A waste of money

Hey there! We are disappointed to hear that you are not getting great results when you sharpen the Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof Pencil Eyeliner. Despite the plastic appearance this is a sharpenable pencil, not a mechanical. We recommend using a makeup sharpener and turn the pencil gently in the sharpener 3 or 4 times, being careful not to apply excess pressure. After sharpening, remove all shavings from the blade edge. Your sharpener should be replaced whenever the blade has dulled and is no longer giving the expected results. We hope this information helps and you give it another try!

Love the way this pencil goes on and color lasts. The pencil is hard to sharpen so a lot of the pencil goes to waste. I tried an electric pencil sharpener and a manual one. Neither worked.

I love it!
I love this eyeliner I used it on my wedding day in 2023 and have been repurchasing ever since. It lasted all night! It sharpens perfectly fine in my opinion. I did read the reviews about people having trouble sharping them and never had the issue tbh. But that’s because I use a cheap pencil sharpener to sharpen all my liners instead of a cosmetic sharpener. Since it’s a thicker plastic. some cosmetic sharpeners are made for plastic liners and some aren’t so it really depends on the sharpener

It stays put!
I don’t understand the negative comments, my only negative would be the color choices. I have watery mature eyes (58) and have a horrible time keeping eyeliner on. I’ve tried more expensive ones that claim to stay but they don’t. Once this is on, it stays! If I work quickly, I can blend it a bit. I just wish there were more shades without shimmer. This is now a staple part of my makeup routine.

HORRIBLE!
I should have read the reviews before I purchased this. This pencil CAN NOT be sharpened and the reviews reflect this. I tried 3 different sharpeners and did it "gently" as suggested - nope, still can't sharpen. I can't believe you still offer this item. The reviews from 7 YEARS AGO talk about the same issues with sharpening. Shame on you!

No info for sharpening! Disappointing product!
Liked this product once I realized a light touch was needed. After a week, it needed sharpening, and thought the other end rotated to produce more pencil "lead." Nope. Then I used my excellent sharpener, which has worked for everything else...Nope. Was concerned that I was ruining my sharpener...I'll be returning the other Infallible gel mechanical liner I bought...too expensive for me...bought it for the grey color and waterproof feature. Don't waste your money!

Aubergine eye color hood. Defective tubing. Broke
color good. Tubing broke after 3 usages. Wouldn’t advance in tubing when the pencil contents got low. Horrible waste of money. Won’t buy again.

I have purchased this product twice and it works great until you try to sharpen it. It would be more beneficial for it to twist.

Worst ever
Is the most horrible pencil I have ever purchased in my entire life and believe you may I’ve been wearing make up for 55 years. I’ve always loved L’Oreal‘s products but not this one. It’s soft it gives you too thick of a line then you can’t shape your line and definitely You can’t sharpen it and I can’t get it to come up anymore and I’ve only used it two times.

Difficult to use. After you sharpen it, the tip breaks apart quickly rendering it useless. Poor quality.

It is one of the worst eyeliners I have ever used. I have purchased three, yes three new sharpeners and this pencil will NOT sharpen. Totally a waste of my money!

I have never been able to get a good point on this pencil to use it. I thrown most of it away emptying the sharpener. Very disappointed in this product.

Very bad.
When you use the 1/4 inch point before you sharpen it, it’s an OK product but once you try to sharpen it, it’s useless. The plastic that you sharpen is so hard that it mostly just breaks the eyeliner. I’ve purchased it twice, Now I’m done!

Waste of money
I agree with everyone else. I liked it when I first started using it but once the usable part was gone I can’t get any more to come out of the tube so there’s nothing to sharpen. What a complete waste of money. Probably won’t be trying L’Oréal again.
