Eyeliners don't snap if you keep them cool. If they do snap, they have been dropped. If that happens stand it in a cup of hot water with the nib sticking out, you will have to hold it down because it will float. After about 10 seconds, take it out & put it in the fridge.If you put it in the freezer it sometimes becomes brittle & you will end up with the same problem but for a different reason & it will be difficult to apply. You don't need to fork out for expensive eyeliners as long as you take care of them properly.

MAC has a good line of pencils; also you may want to try the kind that you just twist (Lancome) and you don't have to worry about sharpening. I find both lip liners and eyeliners that twist much better. Also sometimes the sharpener itself is the problem.

Estee Lauder are very good, make sure you have a good quality pencil sharpener too as cheap ones can sometimes cut into the pencil causing it to become weak and prone to snapping x

I go for the more expensive brands for most of my makeup but as far as pencils go, I always go back to Rimmel ones. They are strong, they go on smoothly and they stay put all day. I use the kohl liner in Panama for my eyes and eyebrows as it's a lovely rich dark brown without any orangey tones, and I use the lip liner pencil in Cappuccino, which is a stunning neutral shade.

I use Rimmel. They hold up well when sharpened. They also make the twist up ones that don't need sharpening.

try the ones that twist up, then they dont need to be sharpened at all so it takes away the hassle of sharpening altogether

Keep it in the fridge for a few hours before you sharpen it - then it won't break.

Try l'Oreal contour resist.
You twist the end so no need to sharpen

I dont't think it matters so much the brand. It depends on what the eyeliners are made of. I reccomand you to use kohl eyeliners cause they are softer and they don't break that easily!
