This summer I suffered from under eye makeup smears. And since I consider myself somewhat of a cosmetic guru it was very embarrassing for me.
Believe me I tried EVERYTHING! Waterproof, non-waterproof, eye primer, different formulas, different companies…everything you could possibly think of. I even washed my eyelashes with baby shampoo because I heard a rumor that it was supposed to help. I stopped wearing eye makeup under my eye and some how there would still be makeup smears. It was very frustrating!
Finally a BREAKTHROUGH! The answer was in my skincare regimen. What I discovered was I was applying my eye cream too close to my eyes and it was reacting with the makeup causing it to smear. So if you suffer from eye makeup smears the bad guy may be your application technique of your eye cream or moisturizer and not your mascara!
