Anti-Bacterial Duo Pencil Sharpener | Dual Hole Size + German Steel + Anti-Bacterial Blade

What size pencils does it sharpen?

Both standard 8 mm and jumbo 12 mm pencils, from two separate holes — one sharpener for your eye pencils, lip pencils and jumbo shadow sticks. German-made rust-proof stainless steel blades cut cleanly rather than dragging, which is what breaks a soft, creamy tip.

What makes it anti-bacterial?

An anti-bacterial polymer in the body keeps the sharpener hygienic for up to two years — meaningful when the same tool touches pencils that go on the waterline and the lip line. It doesn't replace wiping the blade down, but it means the sharpener itself isn't the contamination point.

How do I stop my pencils breaking while I sharpen them?

Turn the pencil gently inside the sharpener rather than forcing it, and stop as soon as you have the point you need — over-sharpening is what breaks creamy tips. If a pencil is very soft, put it in the fridge for a few minutes first, and it will cut cleanly.

How do I clean it?

There's a built-in cleaning pick for exactly this. Push the shavings out after each use rather than letting them compact in the chamber, and wipe the blade with Anti-Bacterial Sanitizing Spray between clients. Rust-proof steel means a damp wipe won't damage it.

Is it travel-friendly?

Yes — compact, mess-free and designed to live in a kit or a handbag. The closed chamber holds shavings until you empty them, so nothing dusts out into the bag around it. It's the kind of tool you buy once and carry for years.

Is Bodyography cruelty-free and vegan?

Yes — Bodyography is 100% cruelty-free and has been for over 27 years. The majority of our products are also vegan; a few contain beeswax or other animal-derived ingredients (all cruelty-free). Check individual product pages for confirmed vegan status. Cruelty-free is a non-negotiable across the brand. Certified by PETA and LEAPING BUNNY.

Where is Bodyography made, and are ingredients ethically sourced?

Bodyography is a family-owned professional cosmetics brand, headquartered in California and manufactured primarily in the United States, along with partners in S. Korea, France, Spain, Taiwan, China and Italy. We source ingredients responsibly and formulate to our own clean-beauty standards rather than to a universal checklist. What we include is just as intentional as what we leave out.

What's Bodyography's return policy on opened makeup?

We offer returns on unused products within 30 days of purchase. Because of hygiene standards, we generally cannot accept returns on opened cosmetics unless the product is defective. If your product arrived damaged or you have a formulation concern, please reach out to our customer service team — we take every message seriously and want to make it right.

How can I get a free professional shade match?

We offer free shade matching for foundation, concealer, tinted moisturizer, and more. Email us with a clear, natural-light photo of your face and neck (no makeup, no filter), and one of our team members — many of whom are working makeup artists — will match you personally. It's one of the most-used services we offer.
