For whenever I do, I get smudging and flaking over my under-eyes that makes me look like I've been out all night.
It also feels uncomfortable after a couple of hours.
I used to wear it daily but when I had my children and left my job in my late 20's I gave it up, to give my lashes a break. I'm now in my mid 30's and sometimes think I need some 'oomph'. Unfortunately my budget is very low, so, looking at recommendations I've just purchased a £10 Borjuois one. Not cheapy-cheap, not expensive either, I know.
Is that the problem? Or the fact I use heavy moisturiser due to my very dry skin? I only use a bit of foundation now and again during the colder months too so I don't go down the powder route - my dry skin look awful with powder anyway and it instantly ages me.
I've got an event soon where I'm bound to get very hot, sweaty and tired as it's evening, I want to wear more eye make-up but am afraid of looking horrendous.
What's the secret?
