It's so easy to just keep swiping on whatever mascara you have handy. I, as a professional makeup artist, am guilty of this. I have bags of mascara in my closet, but I am too lazy to go two steps to open a new one. So I don't judge women who consistently use an old mascara or a formula that is familiar but flakes and smudges. We are all just being lazy.
But the effects are horrific and are the first thing people notice when they see our smudged black eye area. Do yourself the courtesy of finding something that accentuates your lashes and doesn't make you look a crazy cat lady. My latest favorite that is not waterproof but which is still water resistant is It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara ($24).
