For the last few months my mascara has taken to migrating from lashes to lids, so much so that I was constantly wiping off black smudges, and left with bare lashes at the end of the day.

At first I assumed it was the mascara, so bought a different one to try, but no change.

Eventually I realised that, like everything else, my eyelids are heading south at a rate of knots.

Can anyone recommend a mascara that will stay where I put it? I’ve tried waterproof but although it’s fine when absolutely necessary I’ve never met one I’d be happy to use every day.

Try a tubing mascara. It only comes off with warm water so doesn't smudge with the oils from your eyelids. I use Maybelline Sky High.

tubing mascara won’t budge until you want to remove it. I like the no7 one

I spent years with panda eyes until tubing mascara came out I switch between Elf and No7. Both are really good. I also buy a pack of spools from Primark to comb through as they can clump if you like thicker lashes for evening.

I just knew I could rely on you! Thank you, I will give these a try.
Are they labelled as tubing mascara, as I can’t recall seeing it before?

Tubing Mascara - Boots No.7 is the best. Its called stay perfect. Stays put and washes off with water. Clinique do a second best one (called high impact) - harder to remove though hence prefer Boots
