Will this sharpen Ticonderoga Beginners pencils? Those pencils have larger diameter than the regular pencils and thus need bigger than standard hole.

Yes, this sharpener will sharpen Ticonderoga Beginners pencils. The largest hole setting is just over 1 cm.

Yes - it has a dial to select the diameter of the pencil you want to sharpen so it works for standard and fat pencils.

No. This is not a good sharpener. It breaks the tips off pencils frequently. You would better off with a manual sharpener

Well, to be honest, I bought the sharpener for my usual pencils because it looked small and convenient. It works great as a sharpener for normal pencils, but I don't know the diameter of cosmetic pencils, or what type of sharpness you need for the cosmetic ones. I

Yes! Easily! I just went and tried it for you and it fits with extra room around the pencil. You could even use a thicker tool if you wanted. Not quite as big around as a Sharpee marker but larger than a #2 pencil. Hope that helps. :)

I would say yes! It sharpens classroom pencils that have the coating on them without a problem. It stops when pencil is sharpened. It's great!

If the pencil fits into the slot (it does not matter if it is flat or round) it might work. I have only sharpened my kids pencils for school and it works very well.

Yes! works great. my kids sharpened dozens of their back to school ticonderoga #2 pencils and they turned out great!

Hi Marsha! I have a small pencil sharpener and a large one. I got the large sharpener out of my local beauty supply store, it works just fine. I did wait until the wax was barely there.

Probably not, the holes are round so it won't unless triangular pencils are smaller in diameter than corresponding round pencils.

They're very nice, although possibly not really worth the additional cost over a box of Ticonderoga #2s. But if you can afford a treat for yourself, you will enjoy them. They sharpen just fine with any "real" pencil sharpener, but I wouldn't use one of those little plastic school sharpeners. If you have a real pencil sharpener handy, I'd skip the long point sharpener and get the box of additional erasers instead.

I don't know what the queen lipstick pencils are. There are two holes and one is the standard size for most size lipstick. The other size is much larger. They do work greater than any other sharpener I have.

I have not used the Dixon Ticonderoga pencil, so I cannot make a comparison. I will say that the General Pencil Company Cedar Pointe No. 2 is a good quality pencil with a nice eraser and it is also made in the USA, which I really appreciate.

I'm not familiar with NARS pencils. The diameter of the largest hole is 1/2"; the smaller hole is 5/16". If your pencil has a flat end, you could measure the diameter easily. If you remember your high school geometry, you could use the circumference/diameter formula. Good luck! hope it's a fit.

This sharpener works with a standard size pencil only. The opening is not adjustable so larger pencils (like those used in kindergarten or preschool) will not fit.

I have only "regulation-size" pencils, but it looks like that's the only size that would fit. Maybe ones smaller in diameter, but couldn't say for sure.

Yes it sharpens evenly around the diameter. It does take a lot of the pencil off at a time.

Yes. I checked with my wife, a former teaching pro, on this. Have them sharpened, but if the skater is a relative beginner, tell the sharpener you don't want too large a radius. They'll know what you mean.
