Help, I want a mascara that doesn't give me panda eyes!

[MakkaPakkasPacamac]

Where the heck do I find a mascara that doesn't run and leave a dark smudge under my lower lashes?!

i would also like to know as i have never found one that actualy does as it says on the bottle.

those tube ones are meant to be good for this but haven't tried. blinc?

Will watch thread as I have the exact same problem MPP! Even the waterproof ones don't stay put on me...

just put it on you upper lashes

ggirl, I have tried that too, it still migrates south (like everything else lol!)

I use a maybelline one, in a pink tube and it is brilliant.

I do put it on upper lashes only and like PPP it still runs! littlerach, I ended up throwing away my pink-tubed Maybelline one as it was the worst of all! (though it could have been a different one to yours)... I had Blinc recommended to me on another thread so I may try that...

Can highly recommend blinc. Definitely water proof and easy to take on and off.

Yep, Blinc is great and it comes off completely when you do want to remove it. I can't wear it to swim in, but it is fine for everything else.

revlon colourstay 3 day mascara works I wear it wehn I'm on nights as it doesn't budge

Right have just bought some Blinc stuff... will try + remember that Revlon one too for future reference. Will report back re Blinc

I use Becca which I think is similar to Blinc in it's formulation. I have the occasional tiny flake but no smudgeing.

Fab - thanks ladies! Looks like Blinc or the Revlon one is the next to try - Pussycat, I look fwd to hearing what you think about the Blinc!

Bobbi Brown smudge proof pretty much is that. Would give it 9.5 out of 10 (compared to max of 7 for every crappy disappointing other one I've tried!)

blinc is fab!

I've just ordered some Bobbi Brown smudge-proof - thanks for the recommendation, Breeding. The QVC website was full of fantastic reviews for it...

I feel a bizarre sense of joy that I have spread the word of smudge free happiness - enjoy!

I am very excited - I want it to arrive NOW though

Same here Makka - I am itching to try out my Blinc!

Hmm. Don't want to down hearten you, but the one I've got is not on qvc - what did you order?

Dior Iconic is fab - curls lashes and looks quite natural. I only use it on my top lashes and never suffer from panda eyes!

Sticks, I got Bobbi Brown No Smudge (I couldn't see anything called Smudge Proof, this was the only one in the BB range that I thought it would be - eeeks, hope it's not a different one!) It's not on the QVC website now, it's sold out, I just saw some reviews for it on there.

here is what I ordered:

Dior Show is very good too - I used to have the same problem and have found this to be brilliant.

I do want some Blinc though now!

I have used Max Factor Masterpiece mascara with good results. I recently had an "emergency dash to local chemist for mascara 5 mins before it shut or go without" moment and bought a Collection 2000 one. Neither smudge and are both reasonably priced.

I love Chanel make up but their mascara is pants, imo.

I have found, bizarrely, that I get less smudge with non-waterproof mascaras .
