Which MAC eyeliner is a good chocolate brown?

Just that really. Used to love MAC eyeliner pencils back in the pre-kids days and have decided to treat myself to one. But I need to order online and I'm confused by all the different pencils and the various 'brown' names.

Any ideas? TIA.

Does it have to be Mac because I've found an amazing eyeliner? Don't be put off by the fact it's from Wilkos and is only 1.50, it's FANTASTIC! I've bought all the colours. The range is called Essence and it's all over Europe but only just come here. The mascara is incredible too.

Mac Teddy is a beauty bloggers favourite I believe.

Teddy is really gorgeous.

Teddy is a lovely warm shimmery brown, really soft and smudgey too

Thank you!

Will try out the Wilkos one too. There isn't a Wilkos that near me but I do go sometimes. Smile

I came on to say Teddy!! I am obviously not as original as I like to think!

PenguinsIsSleepDeprived · 02/09/2014 13:49

Maybe not original, but a unanimous recommendation is a pretty rare thing on MN, so it's good news for me. Smile

Mac Technokohl in Brownborder is a chocolate brown.
Teddy is more of a bronze colour.

You can see a swatch of brownborder here:

Essence has a dupe of Mac Teddy called Teddy. You can see a picture with the two products swatched here: www.horizont-blog.net/2012/10/noch-mehr-farben-fur-den-herbst.html (a third or so down the page)
You might find that the quality isn't as good - Essence has good products, but there are some that aren't as good. I've not been massively impressed with the eye pencils and mascaras I've tried.

Whereas I disagree totally wrt Essense as I think the quality is amazing and I've never bought cheap makeup before until the last 6 monthsGrin Their nail varnishes are extremely good, tons better than OPI or Leighton Denny. I've ditched my Max Factor mascara for Blackest Black and as I said earlier I have all the twist up eyeliners.
