Nothing Irks Me More Than a Mascara That Smudges, So I Found 7 That Never Budge

Nothing Irks Me More Than a Mascara That Smudges, So I Found 7 That Never Budge

Hi, I'm Grace, and I've had oily eyelids for as long as I can remember, which means I've made it my mission to find the best smudge-proof mascara on the market. Finding the best mascara in general is no mean feat, but finding a formula that doesn't budge has seemed somewhat impossible at times. However, as a beauty editor, I'm nothing if not dedicated to my job, so over the past few months, I've been putting some of the most popular formulas to the test, from the best affordable mascaras to the best tubing mascaras and even the best mascaras for sensitive eyes, to see if they'll deliver impressive staying powers or leave me with black under-eyes at the end of the day.

I've been wearing lots of these mascaras to work, on nights out and even tested some at the gym, to create the ultimate edit of smudge-proof formulas that I know will hold up against my oily eyelids. Below, I've shared my top picks, so if you're looking for a mascara that will stay in place all day long, I highly recommend that you keep on scrolling...
