Hi,
I have the same problem and my friend and I, who are both Asian find that mascara tends to smudge on the bottom of the eyes, just below the lash line.
I’m not sure whether it’s my eyes or whether its the mascara.
Do you think I should buy a lash primer?
Thanks

I grew up with Covergirl Professional all-in-one curved brush mascara which doesn’t budge. I’ve been using it since elementary school. My other two faves are Imju fibre wig and Diorshow. Another tip for minimizing smudges, picked up from a bona fide makeup insider, – use a less pigmented mascara. Noir and very intense blacks tend to smudge more because of the formulations. Blackish browns, soft black and charcoals are good choices. If you have black lashes naturally, blackish brown will come up more black than brown because of your natural lashes.

I absolutely LOVE Clinique Lash Power and it comes off with ease!! I am reading the comments hoping to find something cheaper, but if all else fails, I will stick with Clinique!! When I need my lashes to last 24 hours, I use their Lash Primer to help plump my skinny lashes. I’m going to give the Almay Triple Affect a try. Wish me luck!!

So far, I haven’t found any mascara that doesn’t smudge on me and I always use a waterproof version. The one mascara that smudged the least and which I felt was the best all around mascara for me was L’Oreal’s Panoramic Curl. Unfortunately, like most of my favorite beauty supplies, they chose to discontinue it. I wish I could still get some of that mascara…it was so great! If anyone knows of a similar formula that might be a good substitue, I’d definitely appreciate it.

Hi! After watching many YouTube reviews on different mascaras, I chose L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black. I was tired of smudging mascaras. Guess what? This L’Oreal mascara is the worst of all on me… The one that was the best for me, and I’m thinking about going buy one right away, is the Sephora Bare Escentuals. This one isn’t smudging at all on me. I won’t throw the l’Oreal’s at the waste basket! I’ll use it only for upper lashes and save the Sephora’s for the lower ones.
