Long wear eye liner..bobbi brown

Bobbi Brown....I believe this brand has been mentioned many times and I have decided a pencil just does not work for me.  

 

I need to use a brush to apply.  I was looking at the Bobbi Brown colors...and there were several choices with 'shimmer'.

 

Does the shimmer stand out a lot?  I am thinking I should stay away from anything that shimmers.....unless it is very subtle.

 

My eyes are green, I am staying from black so I will look at the brown colors.  The only eye make up I wear is liner and mascara.

 

thanks for any advice.

Have you tried Lancome artliner?  It has been my hg for many years, it is fabulous.

Did someone say shimmer?  Never thought of Bobbi Brown and shimmer together.

@Mom2Dogs   Caviar (black/brown) and Espresso Brown (dark brown) are the best shades...no shimmer. The brown shade with shimmer is a red brown and IMO is not flattering on any eye. Keep in mind that this is a waterproof eyeliner in a pot. It dries out easily and you need to wash your eyeliner brush each time. If not it gets stiff.

 

Hope this helps.

@Icegoddess   It's no longer Bobbi's company. She moved on to Jones Road. When she formulated the original company, you're right, shimmer was rare, but there was a light shimmer in a few shadows and later in several lipsticks. When Lauder purchased the company....well, when Bobbi left, the line has been going to cr*p, IMO.

@Icegoddess ....shimmer, not sure that is something I want at my age, that's why I asked.

@Shanus Yes, I know BB left the line and later formed Jones Road.

@Mom2Dogs   BTW, Bobbi Brown has a gel pencil liner that's good and easier to use.
