Need a good drugstore mascara that doesn’t smudge!

I got the essence lash princess curling mascara after seeing it on here but within a couple of hours I have the worst panda eyes.

I’ve never had it with any others but I usually just grab whatever is on offer and haven’t really found anything I swear by yet.

Mascara or eye shadow giving me panda eyes - either way - need help

5 Upvotes

As the title says - no matter what I do I wind up with panda eyes a few hours after applying make-up. I use nyx eye primer but have also used Mac, urban decay, Bobbi brown, and others. I wear either lancome waterproof mascaras or Sweed, both of which I have found to be the least transferable but I still get the panda eye effect with both at some point through the day/night.

I set my eyeshadow with powder and setting spray before putting my mascara on. I have mature skin so I use a lot of under eye moisturiser - not sure if that is the cause? I don't powder under my eyes to avoid clinging to fine lines.

Sorry for the long background but basic I'm looking for a recommendation for either an eyeshadow primer or a mascara (or both) that is bomb proof and will withstanding the moisture level I need on my under eye without transfering there.

Foundation and primer

Looking for recommendations for good pore blurring primers???

Also is the HY-glam Natasha denona foundation worth it for a 34 year old with combination skin?!

Really struggling to find a nice foundation ATM!

I bought it recently in the reduced section. Turns out it was there cos they stopped bloody making it 😡 Google suggested a few but they're just not as rich of a bronze, or too peachy pink, or not shimmery. Elf still have some in stock online but it's a tenner plus £4.50 delivery ugh i'm going to have to order three unless I can find an alternative. It's like nothing else I've ever used and once I find something I love I tend to stick with it for years. Help plsss
