How To Make Sure Makeup Doesn't Rub Off

Hey, girls. Raise your easily if you've ever had trubs with mascara smudging at the end of the night. Yeah, I've been there, done that, too. MBB Baby Amanda recently sent an email asking what she could do to avoid the dreaded end-of-the-night (or solar day) mascara smudge, and I thought ya'll might be able to help.

Amanda would like to know…

Mascara application seems to be piece of cake, but at the end of the nighttime (after the political party), I can see smudges beneath my eye (right on the centre circles). I believe these are mascara smudges because they're black … and they don't look actually pretty. 🙁

Can y'all give me communication and some techniques on how to utilize mascara PROPERLY, so I can avoid these smudges in the hereafter?

Heya, Amanda. I've noticed 3 things when it comes to fugitive the dreaded mascara smudge at the end of the night.

Outset, waterproof doesn't necessarily hateful smudge-proof. Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara, for case, tends to smudge on me, so it'southward not a given that waterproof products won't always smudge.

Second, I always make sure I've removed whatsoever backlog mascara from the wand before I use it. Earlier I apply mascara, I'll gently swipe the brush head against a clean newspaper towel. Only ane quick swipe is fine. It removes any extra mascara from the brush and seems to make a large deviation in terms of reducing smudging for me.

Third, no two mascaras are akin when information technology comes to smudging. You lot might need to attempt a few before you find i that won't smudge on yous, just ii mascaras I DON'T recommend are Maybelline Bang-up Lash ($5) and Givenchy Phenom Eyes ($28). They tend to smudge like mad on me, simply that doesn't necessarily hateful they'll smudge on you. To a caste, it boils down to trial and error and personal preference.

Here are a few mascaras that I've had good luck with: Stila Lash Visor ($12.50), Clinique Loftier Impact Crimper Mascara ($14), Chanel Exceptionnel Mascara ($30), MAC Mascara 10 ($12.50) and L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black ($8).

If y'all end upwards trying any of these, purchase your tube from a store with a good return policy (like Sephora or Rite Assist), and save your receipt. That way, you can render it if it doesn't work out. 🙂
