A mascara that doesn't end up smudged under your eyes - does it actually exist?

Because I've never found one and I must have bought practically everyone on the market.

Help please!

Third-ing the no 7 tubing mascara. Bought off a recommendation on here and v impressed

I get no smudging using Max Factor Masterpiece Max.

Another vote for Boots No 7 waterproof! It’s amazing! I have very long eyelashes which means that mascara smudges very easily on me. I’ve never had any smudges with this one. Definitely recommend!

Tubing mascara!! Idk how people wear anything else but that! There’s also a vegan/cruelty free version of it but rather exxy

I have the same issue and found Estée Lauder double wear mascara works for me. Have you tried that one? With anything else, I have to wear a primer underneath and that’s a real faff when you just want to put a tiny bit on for work!

This, it's a tubing mascara and is great. Does flake a bit though

Another vote for the no 7 tubing mascara. I spent years of my life with mascara always giving me panda eyes and then I bought that one on the off-chance a few years ago. Never looked back since!

Tubing mascara. I use N07 Stay Perfect and it doesn't budge. All mascara would smudge on me until I discovered tubing mascaras. Game changer.

I had this problem for years (greasy eyelids) until someone told me I needed waterproof mascara. Game changer. Even the cheapest of the cheap - if it's w/p it doesn't move

I had this problem for years. I tried every waterproof mascara on the market.
I was talking about it at a benefit counter and the consultant told me I need pressed powder under my eyes. They sold me a powder foundation that I use a brush with. I can now buy any mascara

fuckthisforagameofdarts · 09/12/2022 19:03

Just to add I still use my normal foundation

Clinique power lash , it’s really good , will only come off with warm water

i use the No7 tubing mascara Stay Perfect and a little mineral powder foundation (Lily Lolo) around the eyes. Doesn't budge.

I have super-greasy eyelids and found nothing stayed put until the powder revelation. Game changer!
