It doesn't seem to matter what brand I use, Dior, Maybelline, Clinique, No 7 etc etc - within about 3 hours it's starting to smudge under my eyes, making me look even more shattered!!

any ideas - I've tried using Clinique's eye foundation stuff, which is great, but I don't want to have to use it every day.

Do I just give up and go onto clear mascara?

Tell me about it.....have just purchased Max Factor lengthening one......

It's crap.

Clarins do good ones, but I can't justify the cost anymore.

Blinc - never smudges, easy to wash off. Google them and their website will come up, you can order a trial for around £2.50 and then they take that off your order if you order a full size (brush not the best on trial size but will give you and idea of the mascara itself)
I love it!

You are welcome .... havnt used the primer before .... you'll be hooked! The Blinc website if you use it will often send you money off vouchers to use on mascara etc as well .......
no more panda eyes believe me!

Blinc is amazing - like nothing you've ever used before.

It's truly unsmudgeable and interesting when in a swimming pool - like spider's legs coming off all over your face!

Another vote for Blinc. It's fantastic. Take care when removing though - you need quite hot water on a wet flannel; if it isn't hot enough you'll pull out eyelashes as well as the mascara coating.

Blinc wins hands down. I've just been a bought a new one this afternoon.

Merci merci meric!

Stayed put through a day of car washing, tip tripping, housework, a couple of hours in the sun and a snooze on the sofa.

I actually squealed with excitement when taking it off last night!

Have now recommended Blinc to all and sundry.

Clinique curling mascara is very similar formulation. Same sort of tubing which only comes off in warm water and is totally unsmudgable/ meltable
