Abstract: The invention relates to a cosmetic pencil with a pencil base (1) and a replaceable part (2). The pencil base (1) comprises a tube (10), a spindle (7) with a tip and a spring (9) which is arranged on the spindle (7) and the tube (10) such that the spindle (7) is pressed or pulled into the tube (10). The replaceable part (2) has an essentially annular cosmetic guide (5) and a cosmetic holder (4), at the one end of which a bar-shaped cosmetic (3) can be attached and which can be shifted axially in the cosmetic guide (5). The pencil base (1) and the replaceable part (2) can be coupled such that they can be rotated in opposite directions, wherein the cosmetic holder (4) can be shifted away from the tip of the spindle (7). A spiral means is designed at the periphery of the spindle ( 7 ) . A gripping means ( 6 ) is preferably arranged at the cosmetic guide (5). When the pencil base (1) and the replaceable part (2) are coupled, the gripping means (6) can be engaged with the spiral means of the spindle (7). (FIG.
