7. Why does my mascara always smudge under my eyes?
Mascara can smudge under the eyes due to the oil in our skin or creamy products applied around the eyes. Even after the mascara dries, the pigment may transfer onto the skin. Factors like natural oiliness, sweat, and heat can also cause mascara to run.
8. How do I stop my mascara from smudging under my eyes during the day?
To prevent mascara from smudging under your eyes, apply a primer before mascara. Ensure that any beauty oil has fully absorbed into your skin, as hydrated skin produces less sebum, which can help prevent smudging.
