How do I stop this from happening by the end of the day?!

Better than Sex is awful, one of the few mascaras that smudges and flakes on me no matter what I do. Try Mac Stack, Benefit They're Real, Diorshow or any by Maybelline and you'll see the difference.

Benefits BADgal BANG. This is such a beautiful mascara, won’t smudge, flake or clump (and you have a few colour options) - I know someone else recommended They’re Real personally I found that one smudged on me bit the BADgal bounce is the sort of the best of both worlds with the dual sided spoolie
