Why does mascara just result in smudging under my eyes? What should I be looking for?
Definitely not a skill issue, you sound like me a few years ago before I discovered tubing mascaras! They don’t smudge on me whatsoever, non tubing mascaras used to smudge within hours no matter what I did. My favourite right now is the Hourglass Unlocked Mascara. It’s pricey but I always get the mi

Holy Grail makeup? Not me👀
Personally I don’t really have holy grails but I was gifted the hourglass unlocked instant extensions mascara and it is THEE only mascara I’ve ever used that doesn’t leave smudges on my brow bone. That’s like it. Everything else I’m constantly switching out to try a new product. I’m a little more st

Hourglass unlocked mascara. It is a tubing mascara so it doesn’t smudge or flake, comes off easily with water, and makes my lashes look incredible. I’ve repurchased probably a dozen times and I hardly have ever repurchased a mascara.

Best mascaras that actually worked for you?
Hourglass unlocked instant extensions mascara, the only one that truly doesn't smudge for me. It doesn’t perform well for volume, but like the name says, it's excellent for separating and lengthening the lashes!

Did the $75 for 500 points, just to spend it fast 😂
I think i found the best one! It’s the hourglass unlocked mascara. It does not smudge (but even if it does it flakes off so it’s easier to remove). I’ve tested it on 8 hr+ days outside. It’s not perfect but it’s the closest!

Mascara help
hourglass unlocked mascara! Every other mascara I’ve tried gets flaky and/or smudges by the end of the day. Not the cheapest but it’s one of my holy grails. I haven’t tried it but I’ve also heard great things about Caliray Come Hell or High Water mascara

ISO lasting mascara
Does it have to be drugstore? Hourglass unlocked mascara ( which does come in brown) is fantastic and won’t give you raccoon eyes. If you’re looking for drugstore, I can’t help other than say to look for tubing mascara as that will limit the raccoon eyes.
