I am so confused. This issue has started in the last … year? Or so? Every time I put on makeup, within an hour or so, I have a black mascara mark under my left eye, on the border of eye socket and my cheek.

Just on one eye though, never both. I’m not aggressively rubbing my face, and it’s not happening immediately after application so how is this going on? Why?

It doesn’t seem to matter what mascara I use, it happens. I also notice that my foundation or concealer under that eye always creases as well. I’m so tired of having to lick my finger to try and remove the mark when I’m out, and just generally, smudging my makeup. I’m tired of this happening. Any thoughts on what is causing if and how to prevent it?

    Currently it’s either Better than Sex or the hourglass mascara, and concealer is either shape tape, huda or smash box. I usually have several products going at once and it doesn’t seem to matter which one I’m using, I get this with all of them

      Huda and shape tape are very high coverage concealers, not sure how much coverage you are looking for- maybe try using very less of it and make sure to keep your under eye hydrated well with eye cream (it could also be because your under eyes are getting drier)

      Waterproof mascara is the only solution - I get watery eyes too and using lash primer plus WP mascara is the only way to go for me

      Hope this helps :)
