Mascara recommendations...stop me looking like a panda!

Up until recently, I have only really worn mascara for a night out. I have started wearing it every day, especially when teamed with a face mask! The problem is, I find it smudges below my eyes after a couple of hours. I currently have a waterproof Revlon 'Ultimate All in One' Mascara.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a smudge proof mascara that won't break the bank? Thanks

L'Oréal Double Extension (the one in the white/burgundy packaging)
Gives ridiculous length (I've been asked if I was wearing false lashes), stays on perfectly even if you have oily skin and removes with warm water.
I'd be furious if they stopped making it

Sorry just to add on the L'Oréal Paradise you want the original one in the rose gold tube and not the waterproof one they've just brought out in a blue tube.

I tried the waterproof one and it's staying power is no better - it's just more of a bugger to remove at night and gives less length/volume.

Apparently in the industry L'Oréal are known for making good mascara and I note the post above about another one of theirs.

Honestly it was a bit of a revelation for me after spending £££ on pricy mascara for years to find theirs was so good and absolutely on par with pricy brands.

I have oily eyelids and for ages thought the Estée Lauder double wear mascara was the only one that didn’t smudge on me. A friend got me to try Collection Lash Surge and I was amazed. It’s a fiver, comes in normal and waterproof, gives brilliant length and volume and does not budge. I literally save £17 a tube of mascara now and it’s brilliant!
