Tubing mascara made my lashes fall out

With regular mascara, no matter what I try,!8 get horrendous panda eyes.
(It is worse for me because I wear sunscreen around my eyes…)
Waterproof is even worse really because it still smudges a little, and it’s difficult to then clean my skin mid way through the day without makeup remover.

Initially, I loved the maybelline Sky High Mascara 😍 It didn’t smudge!!
However after about 3 months of usage, I have seen a dramatic loss in lashes, they are thinner and shorter and just crap.

Any suggestions on mascara that won’t budge?

I’ve been using No7 tubing mascara for months, it doesn’t smudge, is easy to remove (I use an oil cleanser with a hot facecloth every night and it just slips right off after a couple of seconds of holding the cloth in place) and I don’t think my lashes have suffered from using it. Are you yanking them out when you take it off? If I don’t leave the cloth there for a second or two, I can get little pulls and I guess if you did that all the time, you’d probably be pulling your eyelashes out.

Thank you @Spudlet
I will order the no7 one with an oil cleanser.

I didn’t rub them. I used warm water on a flannel and held it on for a minute then removed with micellar water.
I never noticed any lashes visibly falling out at the time. Just over the months my lashes have gone crap.

I hope it works for you! I really like it, I get smudges too but this stuff really doesn’t budge.

I solved the panda 🐼 issue by applying compact powder to my eyelids before applying mascara

I do this with a translucent powder. It does help a little, but they are still smudged and look like I have not slept in weeks after a days work 😂
