Gel eyeliner not Bobbi Brown

I used to absolutely love the pots of Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner but they seem to have changed it and now they get dried up so fast I can’t use them and they are not cheap.

any recommendations?

[[https://www.boots.com/maybelline-eye-studio-lasting-drama-gel-liner-10122461 This] one from maybelline. I like it better than the BB one.

Sorry messed up the shortcut for the link!

Thank you, that looks great but only in black. I found the dark browns offered by BB much more flattering!

They do brown (or used to) but looks like maybe they stopped stocking in the UK? So strange!

I prefer brown too as black is a bit harsh for me. Hope you find something!

That’s annoying! I wish the Bobbi Brown ones came in smaller pots at a cheaper price.

Illamasqua and Shiseido do good ones

elf?

It's next on my list to try.

Bobbi brown is expensive because it's good schmutter. So cough up or accept second best.

I use Bobbi Brown and just wet the brush. When I first ever bought it I was told that you can either use it 'dry' or with a wet brush.

Illamasqua is as good. Shiseido I would say is better. They don't dry up as quickly as BB. I think BB has gone downhill.
