We’ve all been there, mortified with unsightly black streaks running down our cheeks. Let’s face it, if you’re constantly on the run, the last thing you need is for your black mascara to start running on you. You need the best mascaras on the market, the ones that always perform well.
Unfortunately, part of mascara’s magic is the fact that all that black goop on our lashes makes our eyes look glamourous and bold. “The whole point of mascara is to enhance the shape of the eye and define the lashes, and it should be visible, or you won’t get that effect,” said the makeup artist Susan Giordano to Allure. Here we’ve compiled a no-more-smudge mascara list with 5 best mascaras that beauty editors recommended. This way, you’ll remain smudge-free during your next unexpected crying session, sweaty workout or if, and when, you should get pushed into a pool this summer.
