I was hoping the other thread was about mascara, not mascara removal. No matter what type of mascara I use, I get black smudges under my eyes! I only use mascara on my top lashes, so I'm not sure why this happens. I've even used coconut oil underneath my eyeliner and it still happens by the end of the day. Any advice or brand of mascara that doesn't do this?
ETA: I googled after I posted and read that I must have oily skin under my eyes. I hadn't thought of that since the rest of my face isn't oily.

I didn't want to read and not post. I have not generally had this particular issue with mascara but I would suggest that you try several different options to find one you like. I find mascara to be "very personal" -- what my DD likes for her, I don't like for me, etc. It might help if you wait about 15-30 seconds after you pull out the mascara wand before applying to allow it to not be "so wet" and less chance of it going places it shouldn't go. Good luck.

Good luck. I agree with this. You have to try quite a few to find "the one" for you. Also, are you using eyeliner on the upper and/or lower lid and are you certain it is not that? |

I'll be watching this thread. I had used Avon Waterproof mascara for years and LOVED it. It never smudged but was easy to remove. They discontinued it, wouldn't you know. I bought 10 of them off of eBay at the time and I'm down to my last couple. I dread having to try to find something else.

I only use eyeliner under the lower lid and if never smudges. I wear eyeliner daily, but hardly ever wear mascara. |

Like you, I usually buy in bulk on eBay to keep using my favorite products. |

Mascara is sooo personal. I totally agree with what others are saying about finding the one. I have great lashes and I can use about anything. What sort of lashes do you have? Are they flat? Thin? Won't hold a curl? I had no idea there were so many types of lashes until I started watching Youtube videos. If you aren't using a lash curler, that might help, too.

L'oreal double extend beauty tubes. It will not happen with this. You can't go swimming with this mascara. If you cry a lot and rub your eyes it will come off in strings but for everyday use I promise no smudging at all.
Buy at CVS or Walgreens. If you don't like it you can return and get your money back. Just keep your receipt. Dd is a relative beginner with makeup and is trying to figure out what products she likes. Trust me when I say CVS is great with returns. LOL

I would guess that the coconut oil is making the problem worse. It is a good makeup remover, which would not make it something that you want to put under your makeup. Any moisturizer seems to make that problem happen for me. I recently got the it cosmetics eye product (similar to the foundation but for the eyes) and that seems to help. My eyes feel so dry without any moisture but I also don't want my mascara running and smudging. Ugh.

Skip the coconut oil under your eyes, that will definitely cause smudging.
I will ditto the suggestion for L'Oreal Double Extend. Just about every other mascara causes smudges under my eyes, but this one never does.

I started the thread about removal, but glad to see this spin off. I'm new to the world of mascara and can use hints. The hard to remove one referenced in other thread was basic bargain, Maybelline waterproof. I have formerly great lashes, but age is taking its toll. Who knew? Now I have to learn about mascara! |

The one I bought is not Bye Bye Undereye, it is called CC+ eye. It has spf 50 just like the CC+ face cream.

I'm not sure why you're putting coconut under your makeup - a lot of people use coconut oil to remove waterproof eye makeup.
I would go to Ulta and just start trying my way through waterproof mascaras. You can try one and if it doesn't work take it back and exchange it for the next one and so on. So you aren't out any money on ones you don't like.

I highly recommend L'Oreal Beauty Tubes Mascara, the only mascara that I found worth buying among drugstore & department store counter brands, & remove it easily with Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water (pink or blue).

I laughed at the cold spoon technology spiel, but it does help smooth application. Not sure if they still package it that way, I bought it last summer. It's lasting forever. |

This happened before I started using coconut oil and after. With the coconut oil it's not as bad and wipes away much easier when it does smudge. I'm going to try the Loreal. Thanks!
