Faber-Castell Metallic Color Pencils, Hex Barrel, Shimmer Finish, Soft Grip, Smooth Blend, Ideal for Craft & Drawing, Assorted – Box of 10

The shimmer finish uses metallic pigments to create reflective highlights. The effect stands out on both light and dark stock, making lettering, borders, and decorative motifs pop.

Key features include a shimmer metallic pigment for reflective color, a smooth creamy glide for even coverage, SV bonding to resist core breakage during sharpening, versatility for use dry or layered over other colors, and craft-ready performance for greetings, scrapbooks, and decorative titles.

They perform well on standard paper and really shine on dark papers, where the metallic effect contrasts nicely. They can be used dry on light stock or layered over other colors to create accents on craft projects.

Start with a base color, then apply the metallic layer for highlights. Use light pressure for subtle effects or build up color gradually for stronger metallic accents. They layer well with other colors for decorative titles and borders.

Use a sharp pencil sharpener designed for hex barrel pencils. A sharp tip helps with fine lines, while the SV core is designed to resist breakage during sharpening. Store with the cap on and avoid forcing the pencil to sharpen in a single heavy pass.
