You don't need to sharpen, take the plastic cap off at the bottom and push with a cotton bud. Simple

The change fron timber casing to plastic casing has rendered the product useless due to inability to easily sharpen with a cosmetic sharpener. Very disappointing. I have been ising this eyeliner for approx 10 years & will now need to find an alternatove product

The Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal is a great addition to my makeup collection. It gives my eyes a rich, dark look and helps make them stand out beautifully. The creamy texture makes it easy to apply, and it is suitable for creating both everyday eye looks and more dramatic makeup. I also love that it is waterproof, which is a useful feature for longer-lasting eye makeup. Overall, it seems like a great option for anyone who loves bold, defined eyes!

Great pencil until you have to sharpen it then it gets chewed up in the sharpener. Won't be buying again as it's only good for such a short time.

هو مش حلو اوى بسبب انه طلع مش بيلف و بيتبرى ولكن مش مناسب معاه البريات مش هشترى تانى مع ان كنت حابه اجرب الأزرق منه

Dear Rimmel Customer Care Team, I have been using your Scandal'Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal eyeliner in shade 003 Brown for quite some time and have always been very happy with the product itself. However, I am extremely disappointed with the change from the original wooden pencil casing to the newer plastic-like material. The previous wooden version was very easy to sharpen, whereas the new version is incredibly difficult to sharpen properly. The casing does not sharpen smoothly, making it frustrating to use and resulting in unnecessary product wastage. I genuinely love the colour and formula, which makes this change particularly disappointing. I would really appreciate it if you could pass my feedback to your product development team and consider bringing back the original wooden casing. Could you also advise whether you recommend a specific sharpener for this new material?

I wish I had seen this page of reviews before I purchased this pencil as it was not inexpensive. It's not really a pencil because it can't be sharpened. I've had Rimmil eye pencils before and thought I would get a new one. I am sorry I did. The only thing 'Scandalous' about this product is that it is still on the market. It need to be pulled as is it is not fit for purpose. It will not sharpen and you only get about 2 uses out of it before it is useless. Not very environmentally friendly. I want a REFUND !

Sadly, the same experience as others - it doesn't sharpen and is therefore short-lived and expensive, and not great for the environment as it seems to have a plastic casing.

I found this the best kohl ever except I cannot sharpen it and I do not know how as I can't work it out. Some simple instructions would be very useful but until I can find out how to do this I cannot use this item anymore as it has worn down 😟

I have been using this pencil for several years, loved it. I bought a new one and its useless. Rimmed has decided plastic for the pencil and its impossible to sharpen. It used to be wood. Bluddy ridiculous and a total waste of money as now I cant use it. Oh well off to find another brand to give my money too
