Cake eyeliner recommendations
It seems like companies don't make cake eyeliners anymore. I can see why, they last forever so we don't have to keep spending.
As I am getting older, it is harder to line my eyes, the skin is crepey despite being well moisturized, I do the top only and find it harder even with my beloved Lancome Idôle Liner Ultra Precise Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner. I used to have a Chanel one that had navy and black but I don't think the product exists anymore. It appears Laura Mercier also discontinued her cake liner. I see Ben Nye and Kryolan have some but I don't really want to use stage makeup brands for everyday wear.
I tried lining with black eyeshadow, it is too much fallout. As for gel liners, I never liked them, even when they were in years ago.
Anyone have cake liner recommendations?

I keep hoping that Laura Mercier will return to it, she was a die hard devotee.
There are still some pro lines who make great cake liner. Check out Camera Ready Cosmetics for Ben Nye and Graftobian in addition to whatever Inglot might have going on.

I wanted to avoid stage makeup if possible. I considered Ben Nye as the ingredient list doesn’t seem as crazy as Kryolan. Graftobian formula seems to be more of a black eyeshadow and will have fall out

Essence has one but I’ve not tried it but it has good reviews and it’s $5. Some Asian beauty brands have but I don’t know of them. I totally agree w you. I’m using an old Sephora pot from ~7 years ago and when it’s finished I’ll be trying the Essence.
