How to stop mascara staining under eye area

[MakeMineALarge1]

So got home tonight and once again all the rest of my make up looks fine, but underneath my eyes its a mess - why what am I doing wrong?

i'd take a picture, but i have already washed my face

Even tubing mascara smudges on me. What I now do is just use Estee Lauder Mascara Primer, on its own during the day and under a tubing mascara if dressing up/going out. It's very subtle and you'd hardly notice it but that's all I really want, at least for normal days at work or out and about. Powder under the eyes also helps, but wasn't a solution. If you're not into dramatic lash effects and just want your eyelashes to not look "naked", then I really recommend the mascara primer. Other brands do them but the Estee Lauder is afaik the only one that is black so can be worn on its own.

Same here. I tried blinc when it first came out, worked my way through Clinique power lash, maybelline, a few Korean ones that were highly rated, Estée Lauder, Clarins, Collection, Nars and more. The worst offenders for me were Charlotte Tillbury, Maybelline and Benefit. The best I found was Bobbi Brown. It wasn’t totally perfect and a nightmare to remove though. I found after a while it started to make my eyes water so I’ve totally given up on mascara. Which is a shame as I have tiny, deep set eyes that definitely look bigger with mascara.
