Smudging mascara

mascara

Question:

I go off to work each morning wearing foundation and makeup, including mascara. I find throughout the day my mascara smudges just a bit under my eyes. Can you please tell me why it’s smudging? Am I wearing too much foundation?

Answer:

Mascara smudges around the eye due to too much moisture (such as from oily skin or allergies like hay fever). Try a waterproof mascara that has greater staying power than your traditional mascara.

For a quick touch up throughout the day, try powder and a concealer to keep the area dry and light.
