Whats a good brand of mascara?

I started wearing BeautiControl mascara. Yesterday I looked in the mirror mid-afternoon. There were black smudges underneath my eyes------evidently it flakes off bad. Took a wet tissue and got it off. It won't stay on! I need a good brand that won't flake or smudge off. Suggestions?

    Maybelline Define Lash (green tube) is wonderful. Never smudges or flakes. Plus, it makes my lashes look long and full after two coats. It's only $6 at Walmart.

    You might want to consider one thing. If you wear under eye concealer that could be the cause for smudges. To fix that just apply an eyeshadow the same shade as the concealer underneath your eye. That helps the concealer stay to put.

    Also, don't apply mascara on your lower lashes. Instead, replace with an eyeliner. Or if you like using mascara use a clear gel mascara. Try Covergirl. That too is only $6 at Walmart.

    buy the one in the pink tube with the green top! I forget the brand cause i don't wear makeup, but when i used to i would get that one...it's at your local store...cheap brand...the key to good mascara is putting a tiny tab of lotion on your finger tips and rubbing on your eye lashes right before application....also, every so often water down the brush in the bathroom sink, before applying rub the brush around the inside of the tube instead of an up/down movement...this will produce air and will go directly into the tube and dry it out quicker.....lastly, make sure not to be using mascara for longer than 2 months whether the bottle is empty or not....the brush actually develops germs and you can get an eye infection.

    Try MAX Factor mascara 2000 calorie in black brown if you have red hair they even have an auburn shade called deep auburn. It's great for the lashes. It thickens and lengthens them. I also use it on my brows and it makes them looking great all day long. If you get coupons in your Sunday paper there is usually a coupon buy 1 get 1 free. I'm going to get more today as a matter of fact.

    I like BeneFit Bad Gal. It really accentuates your lashes and in my experience never flakes off. You can get it online, at some Macy's stores, or at Sephora.

    We use Maybelline Volum' Express. Este Lauder has good eye make-up, but more expensive. Tried it in a free gift.
