Smashbox Cosmetics has created the new Always Sharp 3D Liner, an innovative eye pencil that “˜self-sharpens’, according to the brand. It is being rolled out into travel retail worldwide this month.

As the name suggests, the pencils contain reflective, 3D pearls that glide on and, thanks to an inbuilt sharpener in the cap, self-sharpen every time said cap is twisted off. The line was inspired by the Smashbox pro make-up artists who sharpen their tools on set before every use.
“These intensely pigmented pencils have amazing shimmer in them, so they really wake up eyes in photos – and of course in real life,” noted Smashbox Founder and Celebrity Photographer Davis Factor.
In travel retail Always Sharp 3D Liner is available in eight shades: 3D Gemstone, 3D Galaxy, 3D Neptune, 3D Sparks, 3D Billionaire, 3D Pacific, 3D Orchid and 3D Gunmetal.
