Smudge proof mascara?

8 replies

SRK16 · 18/02/2019 13:06

I love Benefit bad gal mascara in terms of appearance (the lack of clumping, the effective lengthening and curling, it looks almost natural which is amazing as I have short blonde eyelashes). However, I don’t think I can keep putting up with the smudged under eye area- I don’t use it on my bottom lashes but it appears without fail most days.

I have tried benefits they’re real (feel makes lashes too stiff), Dior addict (too clumpy). I’ve tried a few others over the years but have always felt they give me clumpy lashes, or don’t provide a lengthening effect.

Can anyone suggest some mascaras that may do the job without the constant raccoon eyes?

Thanks!

@SRK16 Technic Mega Lash Volumising Waterproof Mascara 14ml- Black from Amazon. Cheap as chips and absolutely bomb-proof

@miggeldysthepres I love it so much I've just bought my 4th one. This is after decades of being a Max Factor 1000 calorie mascara maniac

I also love benefit bad gal, but hate that it smudges. Benefit They're Real, stays put all day. It doesn't look as good as bad gal but it's fine for day to day use. I use both together when I want the extra effect.

This is the issue which every woman faces. I would suggest you try LashBlack Professional Semi-Permanent mascara as it is very good.

I have been using this mascara from long time and its really good. The reason, I liked it because it gives beautiful, fuller lashes that last up to 3 weeks. Apart from this, it’s has non-clumping eyelash formula which will ensure that your lashes remain smooth and natural-looking from the moment you apply it, right up until the moment you decide it’s time for a top-up.

There are many other benefits too which you will see when you use it such as:

  1. Won’t smudge or budge
  2. Semi permanent mascara lash coating
  3. Darken lashes, and lasts up to 3 weeks
  4. Eye friendly lash coating
  5. No mixing - no mistakes
  6. In budget

gokartdillydilly thank you for the rec for that amazon cheapie! I'm so amazed I'm resuscitating this thread to report back.

Ive worn it for a few days now, and it actually doesn't smudge, even on windswept walks which made my eyes water. Every other non-tubing mascara I have tried has been binned after turning out to be another smudger. I did find it a bit tricky to control putting it on, but once it's dried, it's locked on. And it's so much cheaper than the Boots no 7 one in the gold tube I normally use.

Absolutely swear by this I love it, I also use the L'Oréal volume millions mascara in the gold tube
