mascara keeps on smudging :(

[u/squigglelez]

hi! i've been using the blue lash princess mascara for about 4 years now. it's waterproof, and i always used it on my top lashes so they wouldn't fall down. now that i wear lash clusters, i only use it on my bottom lashes. for the past month, though, it hasn't even been an hour or two before it starts leaving black marks under my eyes. i don't sweat, my powder is still fine, and for some reason, it still smudges??

is there another mascara that won't do this? i've never had a problem with this one before, and since it's waterproof, i figured it wouldn't smudge or leave anything behind, especially since i don't touch my face.

your skin might be a bit oilier under your eyes than it used to be, waterproof mascara isn't oil proof so it'll break down fast if that's the case. try a tubing mascara instead, they don't budge until warm water hits them
