A pen eyeliner that doesn't dry out if only used occasionally

Does such a thing exist? I watched Sally Hughes' online video and have been doing flicky eyes for my very rare nights out. On her recommendation I bought Bourjois Liner Feutre Ultra Black Felt-Tip Eyeliner but should have been wary as the first one I got was all dried up and I had to take it back to Boots to swap. I went to use it last night (3rd outing I think) and though it worked, it wasn't nearly as smooth as before and I reckon it wont be usable for next time.

Am still a novice so need something easy to use. Am happy to spend my Boots points on a dear one if it will last though! Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I use the No17 felt tip liner infrequently and mine is heading for about 18 months old.

It's fine, but I do wipe it on my clean hand a few times to get it going IYSWIM before trying it on my eyes.

Ooh. I think I even have a voucher. Do you mean this?

I've had my 17 pen liner for around 5 years and it still works.

Watching thread with interest. I'm using a YSL liquid eyeliner currently as it was the only one I could find with a fine, pointy brush. A pen you say, hmmm.

Lancome's Artliner. The ink is in the cap so you need to shake it to work. Had mine for 2 years and its as good as new.

I really recommend Loreal Superliner - it is less than a tenner and I have had mine for about 2 years. I rarely use it as I mainly use gel stuff, but it is as good as new.

Sorry, went MNet AWOL Grin

Yep, that's the pen I use abigboydidit although my packaging is a bit more elderly Grin

I use the Colorsport 24 hour one. Had for 3 years and still working.
