essenceBye Bye Panda Eyes essence Smudge-Proof Volumising and Defining Mascara, Smudge-proof Formula, No. 01 Black, Defining, Natural, Vegan, Perfume-free, 16 ml

Ordered this after a review saying this was a tubing mascara. Which is what I'm looking for. This was perfect. Short bristles that don't reach my eyelid, just the lashes. No clumping. I will need to curl my lashes first next time. There was no smudging!! Very often I forget I've just put mascara on, close my eyes and end up with a black smudge under my eyes. I was feeling confident, so I covered my bottom lashes, too. Then, the ultimate test - to go out on a hot day and see if it stayed in place. Yes it did. My ultra sensitive eyes weren't affected, either. In the evening, I gently washed it off with warm water on a facecloth. In future, I will pre-curl my lashes to get them more noticeable. There is no major volume with this mascara, but is perfect for not irritating sensitive eyes, or washing off in a menopausal hot flush. I'm very happy.

I've got super fat eyelids so anything on my eyes turns in to a splodgey mess within an hour.Other claim to be waterproof, yes. But tubby eyelid proof? No.Found this. What a result. Tiniest bit of smudging by the end of the day, but that is a huge win for me! They don't give the biggest lashes, so that's a little sucky. But it's a price I'm willing to pay.Hard to find these elsewhere. Wondering if they've stopped making them? I shall stock up!

Have only used this once but seems not to smudge under the eye, so pleased

I thought I’d try it because I’d seen good write ups however I am a little disappointed. It most definitely left me with panda eyes after only a few hours. It’s a nice creamy formula and ok for the price point but I won’t be purchasing again.

Great mascara

Other no smudge or water proof mascaras didn't work for me. I'm in my 40s now and the skin under my eyes is just kind of... Oily. This is the only mascara I found so far that works, but comes off easily at night.

This mascara will do the following ( and ONLY that):NOTHING.It will not lenghten, thicken, it will not be smudge proof, …it is actually hard to think of ONE positive attribute one could bestow on it. No, wait, it’s cheap. But you might as well take the equivalent money and throw that in the bin. Because you will do that with this mascara. Avoid. I hate leaving bad reviews but this product is singularly useless.

Love this mascara. Thickening and lots in the tube! Doesn’t run. Does the job. Nice price. And it lasts for ages
