    Use primer. It's a basic tool that you swipe on your lashes that makes your mascara last longer, and still remain the color. Just swipe the primer on, then put on your mascara ontop.

    Primers are usally not found in drugstores, but you'll get lucky if you could. M.A.C. sells great mascara primers, it's a little pricy, but it's worth the money.

    If your mascara is such a problem though, just switch. I go on totalbeauty.com to look at reveiwed mascaras, lipsticks, and foundations before I purchase. It's a great website to see if a product is worth it or not.

    You might try using a different brand of mascara. I had that problem with a couple of brands and tried different ones and it seemed to work much better. I really like Lancome's mascara Definicals, with the Cils Booster base under it. I also use Bare Escentuals mascara when I'm just running around town - it's not quite as dark as the Lancome is on me.

    Good luck!

    Try brushing some powder over your lashes before you curl them and apply mascara. This will give the mascara something to cling too.

    That happens to me when I open my eye wide when I've just applied my mascara. You have to let it dry a bit. Also I don't really use mascara on my lower lashes so I have it easy with the lower lash drama.

    Try keeping your eyes wide until your mascara dries. Usually that works for me.

    If not, you could try curling it, That way, it wouldn't really go under your eye, just over, and that's not as noticeable.

    Good luck!
